Blaze Radio Network And now, Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher. Oxford University Press has named its 20-25 Word of the Year, reflecting growing awareness of online manipulation tactics, rage bait. Ragebate is the Oxford University Press word of the year for 2025. Just another example of word of the year that's not a word. I mean, I get the term, but I thought it was the word of the year. Really weird.

And they're not alone. The Macquarie Dictionary, I think it's the Macquarie, M-A-C-U-A-R-I-E. Macquarie. Yeah, that's what I thought it was. Macquarie Dictionary, right? M-A-C-Q-U-A-R-I-E. Macquarie. There you go.

Thank you. And good to see you, by the way. Thank you. Yeah, of course. Anyway, they, I guess, are known as the Arbiter of Australian English, and they have picked a word of the year since, I don't know, 2006. But their word of the year for 2025 is AI Slop. Okay.

That is not a word of the year. It's a term. I get it. I get what AI slop is, okay? It's low-quality content created by generative AI, often containing errors and not requested by the user. Got it. It's a term. It's not a word.

The Collins Dictionary, we talked about this before when they announced their word of the year. Vibe coding. Vibe coding. Not a word. I don't understand. And then Dictionary.com used a 6-7. Yeah, that was pretty sure that's not a word. And a Cambridge Dictionary actually did a word and a parisocial, which, you know, good for them.

Parassocial. I don't know if you know what parasocial is, but it involves or related to a connection with that someone feels between themselves and a famous person they do not know the character in a book film tv series or an artificial intelligence so you could be a parisocial but most of those i guess one two three four five one two three four five uh four out of five are not words they are terms I don't welcome. Welcome to chewing the fat. Fat 5 Plus.

Now we have talked about bedrodding. show. Bed rotting refers to the act of staying in bed all day for a prolonged amount of time especially when feeling stressed or overwhelmed but you know just also for the pleasure of it right? So you just

stay in bed all day it's called bed rotting. Surprise that's not a word of the day or word of the year but it can be the word of the year word of the day though but I see a new story from China talking about how China's

Young, the reclusive young, are staying in bed all day, and they are called rat people. Okay. I mean, you could do that with the bed rotting people, too, rat people. They stay in bed all day and no way at the country's economic prospects. So there's Chinese youth are rewriting hopes for a robust consumer-fueled economy as they doomscroll their days away. A new demographic label has swept through China, rat people. So they just spend their time in their small room,

avoid socializing, spend long stretches in bed scrolling on their phones. And apparently it's happening by with a whole bunch of young people in China. I'm guessing it probably is happening here, but less here, although it could be happening with someone who's living at their parents' home or they have a roommate, and I don't know how you pay for it. I don't know where you get your money. I'm sure China pays for their rooms,

which is probably the size of a pantry here in the United States. So if you had a room that's the size of a pantry, that would make you want to just stay in that room all day, wouldn't it? Of course it would. And you would become rat people. So I don't know what's worse. You know, you have your little pantry room. That's your bedroom.

And that could be, I guess, your mouse nest. Okay. All right, sure. And I guess we're proud now to be one of the rat people. I could probably be a couch. rider i don't know that i could be a bed rotter but a couch rudder sure i could be that you know a lazy boy rotter i'm in uh you get up once in a while and other than that i just want to be there and if i have access to you know Wi-Fi and uh maybe some uh digital uh video platforms

that i could watch on a larger screen or a small screen and uh then i could just you know be in a little room, right? I don't know that I could do that. But every so often, you feel like you just want to stay inside your dwelling, right? And you just want to every so often go over to the blinds and just kind of look out there and go, yeah, the world is going on out there, but I don't think I'm going to go out in it today. I'm good right here. So like I say, is that just staying at home rotting? Yes, that's what that is, Jeff, okay?

You need to get out more. Get some sun. Let some sunlight in. here. Okay, I'm in. It is that time of year. No question. Where we're getting all the lists and what everybody did and listened to and read over

the year. You know, Wikipedia put out their top red stories for Wikipedia this year. I guess, actually this January, Wikipedia will mark 25 years. Oh, incredible.

25 years. So congratulations to Wikipedia. I mean, they're still begging for money and need it, and they do a pretty good job. Most, there's a lot of things on Wikipedia that, you know, may or may not be correct, but a lot of people still use them. And so, congratulations to Wikipedia for 25 years. But I see where

their top five searched stories, their year in review, the number one searched story on Wikipedia, Charlie Kirk. The number two, deaths in 2025. Yeah, I'm in on that, although I don't necessarily, I mean, you just, who died today, right? I mean, there's plenty of people that die all the time. But, you know, notable deaths, I try to, we try to talk about here on chewing the fat, that's five plus. You know, who died today.

Number three, Ed Gein, Ed Gein. Gain. Okay. Edward Gain, Gane, G E. is that right game okay got it thank you nice you to stick around i mean it too it's really really good to see you again thank you yeah you're you're welcome anyway that was the second most cert story i mean he was a serial killer right a american murderer a body snatcher okay i mean i got it uh so okay that was the second number number two story and uh number three i'm

Sorry. Charlie Kirk, deaths in 2025, Ed Gain. You don't have to come back in. Donald Trump and Pope Leo, the new Pope Leo XIV. So, you know, the top five stories on Wikipedia for 2025. And then I saw a story talking about the year's most Googled relationship questions answered. So there's someone checked, and I guess this is from British Vogue. So it's five of the year's most Googled relationships from, and this is from Ask Eva, which I'm sure, you know, is part of Vogue worldwide globally, but this particular article that I'm looking at is from British Vogue by Eva Wiseman, Ask Eva. Five of the years most Googled relationship questions answered. Oh, okay. So let's see. What is a monogamous relationship? that's a people are actually searching for that okay i don't know what would be a monogamous relationship um how long does the honeymoon phase last in the relationship as long as she wants it to

i think she writes a lot more words but i think somewhere in there it's it's as long as long as she wants it to what is an open relationship i don't know I'll see what the answer is from Eve here on an open relationship. I was listening to Lily Allen's album recently, as I believe was every woman between the ages of 30 and 50, and thinking about biscuits. You may have read, as I did, that recent legislation means that certain chocolate bars have so little cocoa in, they can no longer be labeled as such, and must now be called chocolate-flavored biscuits. And listening to Lily sing about an open marriage,

or as it's most commonly called today, ethical non-monogamy. Ha! That's what it's most commonly called at? Okay. Meeting a couple consent to their partner having sex with other people, but one where a husband broke all the rules and they are carefully put in place. It occurred to me that in the same way, a club bar cannot be called the chocolate. Just by labeling something ethical does not make it so.

And that as an increasing number of people enter into open relations, without perhaps the trust or honesty or open communication required. It is perhaps necessary for us to call it ethical-flavored non-monogamy. Oh, that's cute, Eve. That's cute. What qualifies as a cheating in a relationship? What qualifies as cheating in a relationship? I don't know.

That all depends on what she qualifies as cheating. You can write your own other jokes, you know, but just saying that, you know, that's an answer that I would give. And the fifth one is, am I in a toxic relationship? Now, Eve does give a decent answer to this question. Am I in a toxic relationship? Oh, love, if you have to ask. I know. I know, Eve.

I know. Well, I guess congratulations are in order to Zootopia 2 for being the number one movie. I mean, hello. It's the number one movie globally, for sure, and number one movie domestically as well. I mean, 156 million for a five-day opening here in the U.S. And 556.4 million globally on a $150 million budget. Disney is pretty happy about that. I'll tell you that.

It's number one. It's the biggest movie globally for the Thanksgiving Day weekend. I think it's the biggest day movie globally for the animated movies. And number two behind Moana 2 that opened up last year on Thanksgiving for the, you get that three-day and five-day bump. And then Wicked for Good, Week 2, still hung in there with 62.8 million domestic, which is still, you know, pretty good. It dropped 50% or something like that, but that's still not bad, especially with Zootopia 2.

But then the rest of the movies, nothing. I mean, 7 million, 4 million, 3 million, wow. 3 million, 2 million, 1 million. Nuremberg was in 10th place. Fourth week, $685,000. Wow. Okay. So it's already reached $15.2 million global,

12.4 million domestic. We talked about that last week. I think they only spent $12 or $15 million on it, if I remember right. So, I mean, it's going to be fine because once they get the streaming deal, everybody's going to want to see Nuremberg. And it's going to probably win an Oscar somewhere along.

the line for some portion of that movie so uh you know it'll definitely get a bump there but i was looking at uh what's coming up and they're you know they're they're happy with the two big movies and especially disney but uh the theaters are like yeah but nobody else is showing up we just got these movies here but nobody else is showing up well they're hoping they've got um uh five nights at freddies's coming up i'm sorry five nights at freddies two coming up and then avatar fire and Ash is coming around the holidays, which everybody's all happy about. Well, I never even thought

Fire and Ash would get made. I mean, that's been a running joke between myself and my son for a long time. There's no way, because he made some deal that he was going to make like 100 Avatar movies. It was like four or five. And you know, I just, there's no way he's going to make

him. He's just not going to. He's going to be 100 years old by that time. I mean, James Cameron is what in his 60s or 70s already, and we've got this is the third one so we've got i think two more to go in his avatar plan well he said in an interview that uh he is ready to end the avatar saga after fire and ash so that means even he's getting ready to pull the plug on these things yeah because holy cow i mean the the trailer or trailers i think there's been a couple of trailers

released from Fire and Ash. And yeah, it looks like an avatar movie, but it doesn't look like anything extra special, James. It just looks like, yeah, another Avatar movie. So he's ready to, he said that if the three-quel does not perform, which it will, it's going to perform, which is agonizing enough, because they all have performed, the first two performed.

And this, I never, that's that's that's that he's uh formatting his statement oh if it doesn't perform well okay well it's going to i've been in avatar land for 20 years if this is where it ends cool okay well then end it please end it for the all of us be happy with these three they're in their masterpieces james just make them go away okay i know that's coming to the theaters in December what i think the 19th. So, yeah, over the Christmas holiday. So just make them go away. Please make them go away. I know they all succeeded. They all did wonderful. And they all made, you know, millions, if not billions of dollars. But make it go away, please, dear Lord. The Avatar threequel now, let that be the end, James.

It's okay. You can walk away, and we won't be mad. I love this. So, you know, we've been following Katie Perry and Justin Trudeau around. And this headline says, hey, they are taking a major next step in their relationship. Wait, what? Yes. It looks like Katie wants Christmas. Well, all Katie wants for Christmas is Justin Trudeau.

Ha! So apparently, they're making plans for the holidays with her new beau. Katie is 41 now, and Justin is 53. and the pair have grown close over the last few months. The source, the inside source, emphasized that Perry is really looking forward to the end of her lifetimes tour. Yeah, she is tired, and she wants to end this tour. And without exaggeration, it's been a whirlwind for her this year. She hasn't even had time to really think about her life after the tour.

Wait, I thought they were planning stuff for the holidays. And what about the families? You know, because she's got the now X. Fiancee Orlando Bloom, and she's got their daughter, Daisy Dove, and what happens about her? And then Justin's got his ex, and they're, I think, three kids. So is it just going to be? And then as you scroll down, you find out these people have no idea because they really don't know what's going to happen. He's crazy about her and thinks she is a perfect woman.

and they are sympathetic on everything, including politics, kids, and French food. But we just don't know. You know, they're both over the moon. But really, they have no idea what's happening between those two. And any comments that have been made that have been reached out to their people, and their people have not commented. But they do have a source that tells them that, you know, hey, they are getting ready for the holidays.

and they're going to spend some time together and they're going to get their holidays together. And maybe that's true. And maybe they're saying, hey, I'm going to have to be with my daughter and the tour is going to be over. And Justin, you don't have the money that I thought you had. Are you just going to be living off me?

And she might be okay with that. She might say, Justin, no problem. I like you. You can leach off me all you want. I have enough money for both of us and just know that you're going to have to like my daughter because if you don't like my daughter, then you're going to have to, we're done

because I do have to pretend like I'm a single mom. So that's going to go on. And Justin will be okay with it because he'll be able to pretend that he loves her daughter at least for now because they are just, they are simpottico right now and remember one of the questions one of the top five googled questions that was answered earlier in the show how long does the honeymoon phase last in a relationship what was the answer that's right as long as she wants it to so that's how long

this relationship is going to be going as well Huh, this is the headline that just, I just received it across the wire. I just received it across the wire moments ago. Breaking news, former Sacramento deputy who survived a fentanyl overdose after smoking drugs he seized from a homeless man was shot and killed by police after fatally stabbing his 11-year-old son. Wait, what? The former Sacramento deputy who survived a fentanyl overdose after smoking drugs he seized from a homeless man was shot and killed by police after fatally stabbing his 11-year-old son.

I mean, that's a Netflix movie in the making at this moment right now. I'm sure we'll get more details on this story as it as more unfolds and we get more information to cross the wire. But for now, we do know that the former Sacramento deputy who survived a fentanyl overdose after smoking the drugs he seized from a homeless man was shot and killed by police after fatally stabbing his 11-year-old son.

Well, I mean, the Sacramento deputy, for sure. We already started that one. Who died today? Well, let's begin with Fuzzy Zeller. Fuzzy Zeller, two-time major champion, and one of golf's most gregarious characters, who his career was actually tainted. when he did his little

racially well they call it insensitive joke he said he was just trying to be funny and he wasn't funny about Tiger Woods has died at the age of 74 now they're

they don't know they're not saying what he died of but they're just saying hey Fuzzy died now apparently he had some heart issues and he had he had undergone triple

bypass surgery and the valve replacement and so is it possible that it was a cardiac arrest? Yes, that is possible but they aren't saying what he died of and

you know, he spent after he did his Tiger Woods thing I think that was when was that? I think that was back in 84. I mean that was a long time ago. Was that it? Was that the year? No, not the 80s. It was in the 90s. Yeah, okay, I didn't

think it was that far back. They were talking about his career and one of the things that he did in 84. But the 1997 Masters was where he got in big trouble. Because Tiger was on his way to a watershed moment in golf with the most dominant victory in Augusta National History. And Zeller had finished his round, had a drink in hand under the oak tree by the clubhouse when he was stopped by CNN and asked for his thoughts on the 21-year-old woods. He said, that little boy is driving well

and he's putting well. He's doing everything it takes to win. So, you know, what you guys do when he gets in here, you pat him on the back and you say, congratulations and enjoy it. And tell him not to serve fried chicken next year. Got it? And then he smiled and snapped his fingers.

And as he was walking away, he turned back and said, said, or collard greens, or whatever the hell they serve. What he was talking about was that when you win the Masters, which Tiger was going to do, you get the green jacket, and then you pick the dinner that everyone eats next year. That's what you do. And he was just to have a saying, don't let them serve fried chicken or collard greens next year. and that was wow that haunted him forever man he was that was never going to go away after that

tiger forgave him said he was he wasn't racist he was just making a joke all that kind of stuff everybody everybody you know said the right things but it still was that underlying dude what were you thinking so i guess rest in peace to fuzzy zeller uh hopefully wherever you are Fuzzy, you're not being served fried chicken and collard greens, dead at the age of 74. Then we have Dimitri Noyenzhen.

Dmitri N-U-Y-A-N-Z-I-N. I'm looking around you. I think she left. So we're just going to go with N-U-Y-A-N-Z-I-N. A 30-year-old influencer has passed away after a strenuous attempt to gain 55 pounds and then lose it as part of an extreme fitness challenge. He committed to consuming 10,000 calories a day, far surpassing the recommended $2,500 calorie intake for men

in an effort to promote his weight loss program. The fitness guru who boasted over 43,000 followers on Instagram, that doesn't sound like an awful lot, aimed to showcase the effectiveness of his program, promising to pay $100 to anyone weighing over 220 pounds, who managed to shed 10% of their body weight by New Year's Eve. So feasting on burgers, pizza, chips, pastries, dumplings, smothered in mayonnaise, Dimitri was able to pack on at least 28 pounds within just one month,

going from 202 pounds to 231 pounds. 202 pounds, 231 pounds. That was like fifth grade for me. So apparently, as he was going through his deal, he was consuming high-fat meals and detailing his eating plan, And he resided in the Russian city of Orenberg, which is, I'm sure, beautiful this time of year. He said, I'm currently gaining weight for my weight loss course, and this is my 10,000 calorie diet. Well, his last Instagram update, he posted he was clutching a bag of chips while patting his belly.

And the caption was, I wanted it and I got it. But apparently, he suffered a cardiac arrest during his sleep and died. now the day before he called off the workout session that he was supposed to do informing his pals I feel unwell and he planned to visit a physician so I don't know that he did go see a physician but didn't work and neither did the 10,000 calorie a day get fat then lose weight diet so rest in peace to Dimitri Naenzhen, Ney-A-N-Z-I-N-D-E-N-D-E-N-D, dead at the age of 30. Then we lost Grandma, the Galapagos Tortus, who was the oldest resident at the San Diego Zoo,

is now dead at the age of, well, 141, 142, 140, somewhere in there. More than a century, she's been munching on her favorite foods of romaine lettuce and cactus fruit, The beloved tortoise, the Galapagos tortoise, the oldest resident at the San Diego Zoo, has died. I know. She arrived at the San Diego Zoo. We don't know when she arrived, which is weird because I thought they kept records, but I guess they don't. She came from the Bronx Zoo in either 1928 or 1931 as part of the first group of the Galapagos tortoises. And as the world changed around her, she delighted visitors with her.

her sweet shy personality uh-huh she lived through two world wars and 20 u.s. presidents her care specialist effectively affectionately called her the queen of the zoo now apparently she was suffering from bone conditions related to her old age that progressed recently and so um did she did she just they just find her one morning grandma they just looking like a rock and not moving or not being her usual shy self and they were like oh no we lost grandma she died nope you know what happens at the zoo you start getting old and uh man look at the bone conditions related to you you old hag queen turtle tortoise from galapagos islands you have we're going to euthanize you we have to put you out of your misery we have to put you out of your misery sure you've

lived for over 140 years, but we decided here at the San Diego Zoo that it's time for you to go. Have a nice day. Now, I know humans first. I get it. I get it. And no one supports zoos more than this show or myself. But I will say, it hurts a little to know that the queen of the zoo, grandma, the Galapagos

tortoise, has died at the age of 140 or 140. 41 or 142 and it wasn't from natural causes it was from her zoo specialist causes by you know shooting something in her and saying goodbye grandma take care uh it's kind of sad so rest in peace to grandma the galapagos turtle who was the oldest resident at the san diego zoo dead at the age of 140, 141, 142, who's counting? All right, let's get out of here. I'll give you the joke of the day. We'll give you a couple of jokes a day.

We'll give you a couple that Allison sent in. She's just wanting to share these jokes. Allison, I've been hearing these jokes for a long time. I need to share them with you. Well, then we're going to share them with everyone, Allison. So thanks for emailing the fat at the blaze.com. What do you call a guy with a rubber toe? I don't know.

What do you call a guy with a rubber toe? Roberto. Here's one. What do you call a guy with a rubber toe who has lost his car? I don't know. What do you call a guy with a rubber toe who has lost his car? Roberto Carlos. Close.

Incredibly stupid, but what she's trying to say, no, you got it. slash podcasts.
