With Amex Platinum, you have access to over 1,400 airport lounges worldwide. So your experience before takeoff is a taste of what's to come. That's the powerful backing of Amex. Conditions apply. Blaze Radio Network. And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. Intermittent fasting. And we've all heard about it.

It's a diet pattern that involves alternating between periods of fasting and eating. and you can apparently lower your blood pressure and it helps people lose weight. That's what past research has indicated. Well, there's a new study out brought to light from the American Heart Association's scientific sessions in Chicago. Why wasn't I invited? I don't know. And they challenged the notion that intermittent fasting is good for heart health.

said, researchers from Shanghai Jautong University School of Medicine in China, I mean, they got an invitation to the American Heart Association Scientific Sessions in Chicago. I didn't. But the researchers from Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine in China, they got an invitation. And they found that people who restricted food consumption to less than eight hours per day had a 91. 1% risk of dying from cardiovascular disease over a median period of 8 years relative to people who ate across 12 to 16 hours. Now, they based this on the eating habits of 20,000 U.S. adults. The study found those who followed an 8-hour eating plan had a 91% higher chance of cardiovascular

death than people who ate across a more traditional 12 to 16 hours. a day. Still, the previous research still shows that the intermittent fasting can help with obesity and it can help with hypertension, but I guess not good enough. Yeah, we're helping you be less fat and we're helping your hypertension, but you have a higher risk of dying from heart disease. Oh, well, that doesn't make me want to do intermittent fasting anymore, but okay.

Just remember that if you're thinking about intermittent fasting, there's also research investigating the association between the intermittent fasting and the risk of dying from cardiovascular disease. Just remember. Welcome. Welcome to chewing the fat. Speaking of losing weight and doing different things to lose. weight. We all know about OZempic and how it brought down Weight Watchers and Oprah Winfrey.

Well, Monday night, for those of you listening live, today is Wednesday the 20th of March 2024. Bachelor fans were a little upset. They discovered that Oprah Winfrey had an infomercial for OZemPEC Monday night. Now, for Bachelor fans, it was a highly anticipated episode. of the Women Tell All. I did see the promo for this. I did see the promo for this. I don't remember where I saw it. What show I was watching?

Because this is an ABC show, and I don't watch a lot of shows on ABC, but I did see the promo for the Women Tell All episode. Now, it regularly airs at 8 p.m. Eastern. Now, it didn't air until 9 p.m. Eastern. So they still got the episode. but The Bachelor fans were like, hey, why is Oprah on my TV talking about Ozempic? When I'm supposed to be watching The Bachelor Women Tells All episode, why?

Why? That's because Oprah rules, okay? And Oprah rules ABC. So when Oprah says, you know what, I'd like to do an infomercial on Ozempic, and I want to do it at 8 p.m. Eastern on ABC, all other shows get bumped. That's just the way it works. It's the ABC special shame, blame, and the weight loss revolution. And we can, we'll just push back all the other shows.

So yeah, sure, we love you. And thanks for watching our other shows. But the big O needed to do a special. I see where Elon Musk and Don Lemon interview still in the news. It won't go away. Pretty incredible that it's lived this long. It's only because it was really, I don't know, what's the word I'm looking for? Not good.

But it got a lot of information out. No question about that. I loved the fact that in the interview, Elon said, yeah, I met with Donald Trump in Florida. I wasn't scheduled. I was at breakfast at a friend's place and Donald Trump came by. He didn't ask me for a donation. He didn't ask me for anything. I don't plan on loaning him any money.

In fact, I don't even plan on giving him any money for the campaign at all. I was at breakfast at a friend's place and he said, hey, do you mind if Donald comes by? And I was like, no, that's fine. So he came by. And, you know, no problem. He said, Donald likes talking. He did most of the talking. And he didn't say anything that he hadn't said publicly.

And that was it, just a breakfast. And then he talked about his ketamine use with the Don Lemon interview. But I think my favorite part, you know, we talked about some of the things that Don Lemon demanded, which, you know, is either true or not true. We're hearing, you know, reports from both sides that, I didn't demand all of this. And that's not what I wanted. Well, you didn't get any of it because Elon said, no, we're not paying you to do a show on X, okay? You can still post your stuff, but we're not paying you to be part of the show.

One of the things reported that wasn't in the first report of what Don had asked for, which I think is a great idea. And I hate to be on Don Lemon's side here. But Don Lemon wanted a free ride on Elon Musk's rocket to host the first podcast in space. That's a good idea. That would have been fun. It doesn't need to be Don, but that needs to happen. Like I want to be, I would like to have a show, you know, do Chewing the Fat in the Metaverse, downtown Metaverse.

And to do a podcast, do a show in space, that would be awesome. I mean, Tom Cruise is going to film a movie in space and someone should do a podcast in space. Probably going to be Joe Rogan. But it should be, well, it should be chewing the fat. But it was a good idea from Don Lemon. And, you know, everybody gets one. right? Do you remember a time when vital medications didn't get rationed in the United States?

I mean, that used to be something that happened in other countries and not here. Eh, that's not the way things are anymore. Let's say we had a cyber attack here in the U.S. Just to say if something like that happened. I mean, sure, the U.S. government has issued a warning about cyber attacks on the country's water systems. claiming threats linked to China and Iran. Sure, a letter by the EPA administrator and the NSA advisor said that these attacks can potentially harm the critical lifeline of clean and safe drinking water, as well as impose significant costs on affected communities.

Sure, there's that going on. That's just maybe one of the reasons that you need to have a Jace case on hand.

to $361,361,000. nonprofit groups. Chewing the fat.org, I believe, is, oh, that's not a thing? Oh, well, it should be. I'm happy if McKenzie has given out some more cash. I'm here for you, McKenzie. I know she's keeping good on her word to donate

at least half of her wealth to charity as part of her giving pledge. Oh, that's so wonderful. Jeff is not part of that, by the way. Just so you know, Jeff has said, No, I'm not talking about that. So the latest round of donations, which varied from gifts of a million to $2 million,

were awarded to the nonprofit groups across the country with a variety of focuses, the arts, affordable housing, education, public health, immigration, and diversity. In her post on her yield-giving website, she wrote that those community-led groups were elevated by peer organizations in a round two elevation panel

for their outstanding work advancing the voices and opportunities of individuals and families of meager or modest means and groups who have met with discrimination and other systemic obstacles. Now, the organizations were chosen from a pool of over 6,000 applicants. Yeah, everybody wants a piece of McKenzie. Everybody wants a piece of that. So, uh, me too. McKenzie, me too. So if you feel the need and you wake up one.

day and you go, man, I just need to give some money away. Jeff Fisher, you can email me at chewing the fat at the blaze.com. You can, you can DM me on X at Jeffrey JFR. You could message me on Instagram, Jeff Fisher Radio, on Facebook, Jeff Fisher Radio. You can message me on my YouTube channel, Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher. You know what, McKenzie, what you could do is you could order a cameo from me at Jeffie JFR on the Cameo app. And then you could pay for the Cameo app

and then give me a tip of say, I don't know, $2 million. That'd be fine. I'm okay with that. That's the way around my, you know, my philanthropist ways is just pay me for the cameo and then give me a tip of a million or two. You're such a whore. What do you mean? You're such a whore, dude.

What are you talking about? I'm just helping McKenzie out. She's the one that wants to give away her money. She's worth what, $38 billion? Something like that? Maybe less than that now. Maybe, I don't know, $36 billion. And she wants to give it away, I'm here for her.

So, just saying. You know what, McKenzie? I will give you the best cameo ever. You are lying. I am here for you, McKenzie. How you doing? Oh, yeah. Oh, no, that's from her husband.

Don't do that. No, turn that off. That'll get a reminder of Jeff. Don't turn that off. No, that was on the Blue Origin. No, we can't mention that. That'll piss her off. I don't want to do that.

Honey, it's okay. He wasn't thinking. He wasn't thinking. Just order the cameo and send me a tip, okay. Yeah, just do the music. We could do that. Oh, yeah. McKenzie, yeah.

I know. I think you should be giving away. half your money too with your giving pledge. Oh yeah. Slide on over here. Mackenzie. No, see now your visitor off again. Don't do that.

Oh, man, we don't want to piss McKenzie off. Oh, man, for sure I don't want to do that. I guess I'm just going to be left with well, can I win the lotto? No one won the mega again. 9707. $47 million is the jackpot. $461.0 million is the cash payout.

And we have a Powerball tonight, the 20th of March, 2024, for a measly $687 million jackpot, $327.3 million cash payouts. So, McKenzie, you know, if you're not going to order the cameo and then tip me a million or two. I'll just have to hope for the lotto. All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink desperately.

So let's say you absolutely, positively have to buy or sell a home. And let's face it, sometimes you just have to. You're going to want real estate agents, I trust, on your side. Now, it's a company that, uh, guy down the hall created a long time ago, Glenn Beck, and he tried to, you know, sell a home for, for, I don't know, it felt like for years, and he finally sold it for nothing just to finally get rid of it. And he was tired of dealing with incompetent real estate agents, which is why he started real estate agents I trust. And he figured that a lot of people might be tired of dealing with incompetent real estate agents.

and, you know, I believe he was right. Buying and selling a home sucks. It's a lot of work. It can be confusing, and you don't want to be making a lot of mistakes, especially this time around. So agents they work with are the best in your area. They're the top sellers. They know the lay of the land and the best practices

to get you and your family where you need to go, whether it's across the street or across the country. Most of these agents are fans of, this show, so you'll have a little something in common. I like that. And do yourself and your family of favor. Check them out today. Real estate agents I trust.com. Real estate agents I trust.com. Now it says here in the copy, Real estate agents I trust, the name says it all. I don't think I need to say that. I believe that the name really does say it all, so I don't need to say that. Real estate agents I trust.com. There's a new online.

Harris X poll and it was conducted earlier this week a thousand adults in the U.S. took part and they were weighted by the following criteria gender age, race, income and regions

and were necessary to reflect the population. Movie theaters versus streaming platforms. Okay? Movie theaters versus streaming platforms. 34% of the adults in the United States

prefer watching films in movie theaters over streaming them at home. That means that 66% of U.S. adults yeah, we want to watch it at home.

Yeah, you know what? The theater's great and all. And yeah, you know, I love the little tilt-back chairs and you're delivering me food and everything. but, man, you know what? I'm just going to watch it right here in my living room.

Okay? So I know it's exclusive at the movie theater, but let's just watch it here. Boy, that's a striking poll for the movies. And this is why the movie theaters fought so hard to keep the first round of movies. and save the movie theaters. Hollywood's trying to save the movie theaters.

Good luck with that. I see where your girl, Taylor Swift, the ERAs tour, has now become Disney Plus's most streamed music film three days after its release on the streaming service. So congratulations to Taylor. I do like the breakdown of most stories. streamed music film.

Had 4.6 million views on Disney Plus in the first three days of release, making it the number one music film. Swifties watched 16.2 million hours of the blockbuster three and a half hour concert film. Just in credit. Congratulations. Congratulations to Taylor and being the number one. music streamed movie on Disney. And then I see where her boyfriend, Travis Kelsey, is in talks to host,

Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader? I don't think this is going to be the theme song of Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grater? But you never know. I mean, he might fight for that. So Travis Kelsey, are you smarter than? and a fifth grader for Amazon. Now, they're doing great podcast with his brother, which I love.

But I'm not, he previously hosted a dating show, which I did not know about this, catching Kelsey for the USA Network. That was before he got together with Taylor. Was that just him saying, I need a date and he'd show up on the show? Are you?

Yeah. Okay, I'll take you and we'll go out with you. That's awesome. Catching Kelsey. That is. It's like the dating game with Kelsey. That's awesome. So this show, I guess, you know, they want him to do it.

According to this, anybody, did they ask, there was also a syndicated version of reboot. That's what I thought. Are you smarter than a fifth grader by John Sina? And didn't, what's his face, do that as well? Jeff Foxworthy? Didn't he do that as well? Anyway, I just, I find it interesting. Look, Travis is a great football player,

you know, a Hall of Fame football player. I'm interested in what he has to say about football. Am I interested to know if he is smarter than a fifth grader? That's not the way this show works, Jeff. I know. But my question is, is he actually smarter than a fifth grader? Eh. Eh.

I don't want to be smarts Travis Kelsey. I'm sure he's a fine man. But is he? My question is, that should be the game show. Are you, Travis, smarter than a fifth grader? I'm not bad mouth than Travis at all. I mean, Travis is dating, dating, what's her face, Taylor? And that doesn't mean he's smart.

That just means that, you know, he fell in love with Taylor. Right. He's traveling the world He's living large He's made a lot of money She's worth a bunch of money And they're in love So he's busy tearing up Taylor

All around the world I love it But that's the thing That's the thing What do you mean that's the thing We're dating We're not What is it you said?

Oh my gosh Oh that's I'm sure he's not tearing that up I hope not That's she's a Christian woman She calls us over Christians so she better be dating. Chris. Fisher.

Stop it. She said she's a Christian woman. I know. She may have said that. So that means... I don't know that, but I'll take your word for it. There should not be any tearing nothing up. You're dating.

You wait for marriage. Tatei. Sorry to burst you bubble. There is not a chance that that is happening. And the second... Then they're wrong. Then they're wrong. And second, I mean, if you're dating someone, you got to be tearing that up.

Wait, hold up. That's part of dating. That's not part. Again, it's part of dating. This must be a generational thing. That's part of dating. Because in my generation, we don't tear that up. I'll give you, I'll give you maybe two dates. Are you, no.

Maybe three. Maybe if I really, maybe three. So you're saying, you're saying that on the third date, something is happening say you ain't lying something's happening that's right I'm the third day

maybe before but I'm not I'll give you three past three past three I'm playing the music yeah 100%

I had more respect you know I know the guys make fun of you here but I thought it was all a joke I had more respect for you Oh did you? So you're telling me I don't know what I'll do

So you're telling me you're telling me your daughter's dating and on the third date in your mind they're tearing each other up okay well we're not talking about my daughter oh I crossed the line 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 3999 how could I resist this luxurious will throw for my sister this gold watch for my partner a wooden pot and 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. You know, speaking of tearing it up and a little business, good news for the Olympic athletes, the Olympic Village Director Laurent Masha, revealed in an interview over the weekend that the 2024 Paris Games will have 300,000 condoms available for the 14,250 athletes staying in their quarters. That's like 21 a person.

That's not that much. I would go ahead and reorder some right now. The handout reverses the policy of the 2020 Olympics. Even though they passed out condoms in the 2020 Olympics, they also had an intimacy ban on athletes due to the COVID pandemic. And I'm sure they follow. that band. I'm sure they did. But because they were

supposed to keep their distance 6.5 feet apart to stop the spread. Well, I'm sure there's going to be the spread is back. The spread is back. Anyway, Olympic business will be happening

in France. We saw the athlete's rooms with the twin beds and the shelves and they all are going to have a balcony overlooking the city of love. Oh, yeah. A little Olympic business happening.

So good news for the Olympic athletes. And then I see, speaking of the Olympics, since we're just around the corner, Russia and Belarus, they're banned from the opening ceremony. I know. That's sad. So the athletes from Russia and Belarus, who are able to participate in the Olympics as, I don't know,

individual neutral athletes. So I guess there's 12 individual neutral athletes with a Russian passport and seven individual neutral athletes with Belarusian passport who have qualified for the Olympics. I guess they just, they're there, but they are not representing anyone. They're just individual neutral athletes. All right. All right.

That's fine. So the conditions of their inclusion include competing without flags, emblems, or anthems of their country. Wow. So anyway, they are not going to be a part of the opening ceremony. And they said, yeah, you know what? We'll let you know about the closing ceremonies. Oh. Okay.

Thanks. Yeah. You think maybe we could know? Yeah, no. Not right now. Look, just you're not doing it. in the opening and you could be there.

We're going to set you off to the side. Sure, you could, I mean, you've got to be able to watch it. We'll set you up off to the side where you can watch it, but you're not participating in it. And the closing ceremony, we'll let you know. Okay, so just zip it for now. Okay?

As long as we're talking about sports, ESPN signed their new deal with the college playoff system through the 2031, 32 season. They have a couple of years. left on their contract still, so they're extending their deal with the college football playoffs. ESPN and college football playoff, the extension worth $1.3 billion a year. Kind of sweet. Good for them. And this I don't quite understand. Sports Illustrated is going to live on. They were going to pull the plug on the magazine, I guess, in May.

Digital sports media company Minute Media has agreed to partner with Sports Illustrated, reportedly overseeing all editorial operations across digital and print platforms for the next 10 years with a possible extension of 20 with another 10 after that. And there was no financial terms. Why don't we do it a magazine?

I mean, Sports Illustrated is a brand in and of itself. And maybe that's what they're thinking. Maybe the magazine will just be a little flyer that they pass out. Yeah, that's our magazine. magazine, look at that basketball player. But the real deal is, I mean, with social media, Sports Illustrated can cover all those sports as their own entity.

I don't want to call me. You know, email me, chewing the fat of the blaze.com. I'm happy to help you out, Minute Media, and help with your deal. But I don't quite understand it. I mean, Sports Illustrator has already been in trouble, right? They were using AI. They got them in trouble. They couldn't pay their bills.

So authentic brands ousted them said, ooh, you can't make your licensing payment. Yeah, you're out. Have a nice day. And that's what was ending the print publication. So make Sports Illustrated it. They say, well, we're going to broaden Sports Illustrated's global presence. Well, you're not going to do that with a magazine.

You most definitely aren't going to do that with a magazine. So you should absolutely use social media and use the, Sports Illustrated brand as you can cover all the sports and just I just don't understand why the magazine I mean those when's the last let me ask you a question

when's the last time you actually purchased a magazine no joke when's the last I can't even some of the doctor's appointments that I go to they don't even have magazines in the lobby anymore I can't even read

I can't even get an interior design magazine at the doctor's office anymore. That's what's wrong with America right there. Doctors' offices aren't even buying magazines. What are we even talking about? Boarding for flight 246 to Toronto is delayed 50 minutes. What? Sounds like Ojo time. Play Ojo? Great idea.

So I do read all the emails that you send, Chewing the Fat at the Blaze.com. And I got a couple of them here. I want to respond to one. The other day we did the story about Tucson, Arizona,

having free showers for the community's unsheltered humans. and you know it's oh I'm sorry the inner city off grid living humans well I got an email that reminded me hey not only does Tucson have mobile showers we have a free transit system since 2020 the Sun Tran bus system became free for people to ride starting in March 2020 every six months

they were supposed to review whether or not to start charging people again Ha ha ha ha ha ha. That's me laughing, not the email. Four years later, it's still free. It runs from 5 a.m. to 11 p.m. I've met several homeless, unsheltered people who have plotted out bus routes for the different soup kitchens and shelters throughout the city. And in the summer, yeah, it's good to be in the air-conditioned bus instead of sweating somewhere outside. So according to this email, I want to help people, but nothing is free.

and then he thanks me for the show and he talks about Tucson Tucson may be the place to move I might be the place to live I'm a fan of that then I got an email from Helen Helen said Jeffie we took our son

to the White House Easter egg roll in 1990 because we talked yesterday about PETA wanting them to use potatoes instead of eggs which I thought that's not really a bad idea I actually I kind of agree with PETA for the first time, maybe ever. And according to Helen, the eggs are wood.

They're wood already. They don't want it. And so they have a greetings, her eggs, has greetings from George and Barbara Bush. And I think that is the tradition. You could buy past Easter eggs at the White House Historical Society's website, which, I mean, I frequent. I can't tell you how often I've gone to the white. House Historical Society's website and you know then the emailer Helen jokes can you

imagine the White House lawn strewn with real eggs yes yes I can but they're not real eggs so Peter calm down they're not even real eggs to begin with okay that is awesome I love that I should have known that actually I didn't not realize and that's a good point what they're I figured that they you know the White House chef hard-boiled you know a couple thousand eggs for Easter and did the egg roll there and the egg hunts and stuff so guess not

guess they're not real at all so PETA wanting them to be potatoes relax they're already not real boy speaking of not real I see where Coca-Cola said that all 20 ounce Coke bottles will be made from 100%

recycled plastic starting this week so if you're Coca-Cola bottle feels a little flimsyest. That's a new word. I just started that word. Flemseest. That comes from the recycled plastic.

Oof, that is not something I am looking forward to. Don't be messing with my Coke zero bottles. Don't do it. And they will, but I'm just telling them not to. But they will. Okay, so this isn't really a joke. It's more

educational. Educational. Today has been a business-filled day on chewing the fat. And these are tips from celebrities, two tips, under the bro code. Okay, and this is how to, you know, take care of a little business as a celebrity.
