Blaze Radio Network And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. And this is exactly what we need. A program that is going to care for journalists experiencing online harassment. So a grant of $5.7 million has been awarded to create a trauma-informed care program for journalists. who, as I said, you know, those journalists experiencing online harassment.

The grant will be awarded by the National Science Foundation to George Washington University's expert voices together program. The National Science Foundation first provided the university with $749,22 for the project way back in 2021. they spit on 749,000 now. The university now is going to receive another 5 million in taxpayer dollars, and that's actually $5.7 million to fund the ongoing program through its projected end date of 2024. So they got the $749,22. And now, in 2021, and now a couple of years later, you know what?

we sure we're going to end this. We were going to project that we ended in 2024. But until then, we need $5.7 million. Wow. I love grant money, too, because grant money is just money. Here you go. You don't have to prove anything. It's just gone.

Here you go. Oh, okay. Thank you. So the program from the expert voices together program aims to address links between two significant problems. impacting trust in contemporary communication systems, including the broad and rapid spread of misinformation. Yeah, man, I hate that. And abuse and harassment directed at members of expert communities.

Yeah, we can't have that. Don't you be saying anything bad about someone who considers themselves an expert. The program defines expert communities as journalists, scientists, And public health officials. There you go. Don't be saying anything bad. There'll be the rapid spread of misinformation is just not good. Misinformation-driven harassment campaigns have particularly large impacts on those at the forefront of efforts to accurately inform the public.

Do they? It asserted that the online harassment has undermined confidence and chilled experts. speech. Yeah, that's what it is. That's exactly what it is. The online harassment that is undermining confidence from the experts. Yeah, you're not able to lie anymore. Oh, I'm not, I'm just telling you about the event. I don't want to give you my opinion. The university plans to use taxpayer funds to develop the EVT platform, the expert voices together platform, as a sociotechnologist. I don't know. I want to get this right. A sociopolitic. A sociopolitic. A sociopolitic. technical system that provides real-time support to experts experiencing online harassment.

The early stages of the program will provide support to journalists in moments of crisis. Yeah, I need support. Man, do I need support? You know what would help me, and I'm having a moment of crisis right now, is a million dollars. And I don't think you're going to give me the million because you've only got 5.7 million. So, all right, I'll settle for, you know, 500,000. And that will help me through my moment in crisis. Wow, this is just incredible.

Well, I'll say one thing. All the money that we're printing and making up isn't going to Ukraine. Some of it is going to the expert voices together program. Welcome. Welcome to Chewing the FAB. We are getting some new information surrounding the F-35 incident from this past weekend, you know, the incident where the plane crashed. NASA seems to be rubbing off on the military, or at least I believe that it is.

A voice can be heard saying of the pilot on a Charleston County Emergency Medical Services call that was posted by a meteorologist, funny enough. He's unsure of where his plane crashed. He lost it in the weather. Oh, okay. Now, the unidentified pilot, who, ejected was found in a North Charleston residential neighborhood and taken to a local hospital and has been discharged. Military officials have not released a specific reason for the pilot's

hasty exit, only referring to the incident as stemming from a malfunction. Uh-huh. And we do now have a witness to the crash of the plane. I have not seen any photos. I've seen photos of the proposed It's a crash area, and I believe that it happened. I'm just saying that I'd like to see some of the pieces, if any, are left. But we do, I've seen the crash site, or at least what they claim is the crash site. But we do have an eyewitness, or more really an ear witness to the crash of the plane. But I love local news. WBT News 13, just on the spot.

They've got the man on the street interview, and the man on the street is Randolph White. who claims that he is an eyewitness or ear witness to the crash. Okay. I heard of screeching. Wait one second. Because you're in the bathroom taking a shave. Okay. All right.

Go ahead, Randolph. So, between a screech and a whistle. White says he didn't realize it was a plane at the time, so he didn't call anybody. The first thought came to me, I said, must what, see it a meter right? come out of space or something. That's what it was. I said, well, if the airplane, it needed to be reported, but the thing was flying is too low.

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. And the thing was flying, it needed to be reported. That was too low. That was too low. Randolph White, an ear witness to the crash of the F-35 in South Carolina. Fantastic. As I said yesterday, It is that time of year again for new polls and studies and lists.

And of course, we have one for the largest work of study. It's the largest study of work well-being. Yay. So, indeed, a leading global matching and hiring platform, you've seen the ads, I bet. Indeed. Indeed, indeed. Has announced the inaugural 2023, Better Work Award.

honoring the top 20 companies for work well-being. They want to spotlight companies in the U.S., UK, and Canada that prioritize their employees, that prioritize their employees well-being. You know how you feel at work, happiness, are you stressed, are you satisfied? Is there a purpose to your job? Now, these awards are going to help job seekers

discover better work and help company leaders understand how winning companies foster environments where their people can thrive. Yeah, that's what companies will be thinking. You can count on that. So I was looking at the top 20 companies in the well-being list, number one, with a score of 83. I was guessing the scores go up to 100. Yes, it is out of 100. and there are four indicators that are weighed equally when calculating an employer's work well-being score.

Happiness, I feel happy at work most of the time. Purpose. My work has a clear sense of purpose. Satisfaction. Overall, I'm completely satisfied with my job. And stress-free. I feel stressed at work most of the time. These and they have a few other questions that they ask.

answered on a five-point scale ranging from strongly disagree to strongly agree. Points are assigned for each response on a scale ranging from 40 to 100. And then you get your points altogether up to 100. So number one, the number one place to work for well-being from Indeed is loves and travel stops and country stores. And when you think of a huge company to work for well-being, that's what you should think of loves travel shops and country scores stores they scored an 83 out of a hundred number two h and r block they have a work well-being score of 79 number three delta airlines they have a work well-being score of 78 you know i actually have a relative a nephew of mine uh works for delta and he

loves working for them and uh he would give them i'm sure their work well-being score was well from him. Number four in the top awards, top businesses for work well-being. Tata Consultancy Services, TCS, and man, there's another place that rolls right off the tongue when you think of work well-being. Tata Consultancy Services.

Yeah, number four, the 78. Tide, wait, there's a number of 78s here. So one, two, three, so tied for, fourth, which in their fourth, fifth, and sixth place, so they all have 78, I'm not quite sure. Tata and then Accenture and then IBM. I'll have a work well-being score of 78, although something inside of those ratings

might be a little bit off. Number seven with a work-well-being of 77, work-well-being score, L3 Harris. Number eight with the score of 76 is Whipro WIPRO WIPRO

WIPRO They have a 76 So does InfoSys Has of having a 76 So does Nike With a 76 Wow And the number 11

Nike is in 10th place Number 11 vans Yeah man Vans off the wall 75 In and Out Burger With a 75 Tide at 75

Tide at 75 are number 12, 13, and 14 in a nutburger, a conza zan technology solutions. Hallmark, okay, Microsoft, okay, Northup Grumman, FedEx Freight, Dutch Brothers Coffee, the Walt Disney Company, and coming at at number 20,

So if you're looking for a place to be happy, have purpose, have satisfaction, and work stress-free, those are the companies that you should be applying to. Good luck. Good luck. All right.

product, Quinn Pittman and his goat soap. Most people, as I said, when you buy soap from the store, you know, it's drying out your skin. Sure. Then, you got to buy moisturizers, usually from the same company. Funny how that works, isn't it? Now, soap doesn't do that when it's made the right way with goat's milk. And that's what Quinn Pittman discovered when he first started learning about soap and he's been making it the right way ever since. So if you want your skin to be clean, but also retain its moisture, you need goat soap. And you'll want Quinn's goat soap.

As I record chewing the fat, I see where Lachlan Murdoch, the son of Rupert Murdoch, has finally pushed Rupert out the door. Rupert is going to step down as chairman of both companies, 92 now, and he's going to shift into an emeritus role. Yeah, the moves are expected to be approved in mid-November by shareholders. Rupert would appear to still be in control of the family trust that governs both companies,

but he is stepping down as Fox and a News Corp chairman. Huh, isn't that interesting. It's 92. He's had enough or the son said, yeah, you've had enough. You're done. Get out. I mean, they've been paying a lot of money out in lawsuits. They've lost their top performer, and they're trying to fight back from that.

And most of them, you know, we'll see. We'll see how it goes. Rupert was a force, man. That guy was a force. So, I mean, he still obviously is. But in his day, I don't know, when he got, he started 70 years. ago and you know it's worth

20 or 30 billion dollars something like that oh here 21.7 billion yeah yeah okay so according to according to Forbes he's like the 31st richest person in the United States 71st richest persons in the world so he's done fairly well

for himself so go take a break Rupert and you know let Lackland run the joint would you while more breaking news as chewing the fat progress today. We've talked about Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas and their divorce and how he took the kids and said, you know, if you don't hear anything from me, it didn't happen. I'm the only one that tells you the truth. Well, we know now that Sophie is suing the estranged husband, Joe, now to allow the two

young kids to return to her forever home of England. So that. The deal was that he kept the kids. Take care you can go party, do whatever you want. They're ages 3 and 1. And she believes they're being wrongfully retained in New York City. So the fight is on for Sophie and Joe's kids. She says I want my kids and I'm taking them back to England. Oh.

Okay. We'll see how that goes. No one from either camp has responded to the filings of Sophie, but she took a beating for not having those kids. And that looked so much better for Jonas to say, yeah, we're splitting up and times are tough, but I've got the kids and we're good to go. Everybody was like, whoa, Sophie, you don't want your own kids?

I mean, whenever a woman doesn't take her kids, everybody thinks there's an issue. I don't. Don't look at me. I'm fine with it. If you don't watch your kids, don't have them. I mean, have them. You know, birth them.

You got pregnant. You did what it takes to get pregnant. Have your kids. But if you end up getting a divorce and you decide that they're better off with dad than with me, make that happen. It doesn't always just have to default to the mom. that's an issue in and of itself.

But that's still where we're at in the world. And women are frowned upon for not taking their children. And so she can't have that. Instead of coming out and saying, look, I don't want my kids. I love them, but they can stay with their dad. And they're happier with their dad. And I'm going to go back to my forever home of England. And now I'll see my kids when I can.

Nobody wants to hear that. And most definitely she, Sophie Turner, does not want to hear that anymore because she has sued to get the kids with her. So, man, that's going to be, that'll be fun to watch. At least, you know, some of it will be fun. And I'll believe it when I see it,

but Hollywood Studios, writers are near agreement to end the strike. This headline says they hope to finalize the deal. deal today. So apparently they're near an agreement that will end the Writers Guild of America strike. What about the SAG After?

So this is just the writers. So SAG After has to come on board with that. On Wednesday evening, the WGA and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television producers released a joint statement that the two groups met for bargaining and would meet again today, which would be Thursday. Writers and producers are near an agreement to end the Writers Guild of America Strike after meeting face-to-face on Wednesday. Two sides met with hope to finalize the deal on Thursday.

Let's see after a face-to-face. So I guess it's close. We'll see, as I said. I mean, it's been way more than 100 days now on this strike, and everybody's getting just a little bit wound up because nobody's making any money. Ha! Yeah, nobody's making any money. so good luck

God bless you did the the Jonas story and I just did it and you didn't cover about the juiciest part What do you mean the juiciest part

Not that she got judged by all her friends Saying what a bad mother you are For not getting your kids here Yeah so she's gonna take it back To the motherland Or forever home England Okay Even I roll my eyes on that one

But according to her Oh boy According to her Which I don't believe this I found out through the media that Joe was found divorced. Really? So what's her point for that, though? So what?

I mean, is that her attempt to feel sorry for her so she gets the kids? So in the lawsuit that you covered and you completely missed the whole thing about, I found the divorce through the media, she says, after the four-year marriage, quote, breakdown. Happened very suddenly. That's because she's agonizing. It didn't happen suddenly. Found out through the media that Jonas filed for divorce. Yeah.

But the cool thing about this whole thing. Oh, here we go. The cool thing about this whole thing is, then I know this part, Jonah filed for divorce three weeks after a birthday argument. His or hers? I believe it was hers. Birthday argument because she wanted to go party?

probably which it tracks. That's when she came to New York, right? Yes. That's when she came to New York to party. To New York and she was partying. Because the kids were down in Florida, right? Yes. So I don't know.

You know, I don't wish anybody divorced, but I thought this was one of those where Jonas was like, hey, like you want to do something, do your thing. I love you, but I just, look, you want to party and you want to do all this stuff. I've got to be on tour with my brothers.

Oh, sorry. I got to watch my kids. It was Jonas' birthday, 34th birthday. Oh. on August 15 that had an argument. Oh, so she, and then,

that still could be partying though. Yeah. She still wanted to be the party in generally not good. Stay here. I believe he was in Miami. Yeah, he was in Miami. Yeah, he was in Miami.

So, I don't know. I don't know. She's, it caught her by surprise. I don't think divorce catches you by surprise. No, it doesn't. I think is her judgment of her close friends. were like, dude, this makes you look like a horrible human right now.

But it really doesn't if she stepped up to it. See, that whole the mom has to take the kid's mentality. This is coming from the guy that believes the woman should be barefooted pregnant in the kitchen cooking for them. Don't worry about it. Don't worry about that. Don't worry about that. Okay. I'm just saying. So this is the part that you're not traditional on?

Yes. Okay. God. Everything else is traditional. I'm just saying it seems like it's an over-dramatic kind of thing. I mean, men get to say, I don't know. I can't do the kids. They're yours. But see, that's the normal. I know. The women should be able to do that too. No. Yes. It's literally, you know, a mom, I can hear the moms listening to this podcast saying, Jeffrey, it's in my nature. I can't say no to the kid, which is why I say when a mom, dismisses the kids, I say there's something wrong with that person. Instead of just so lady doesn't have. Exactly. There's something wrong. There's something not right about that person, mental health. Because it's instill in a woman to care for the children. Do you know how you care for children? Stay in the kitchen, do the laundry, clean the house. It's just that simple. By the way, doing the laundry means you wash you,

You wash it, you dry it, and you fold it. Thank you. You don't wait to the end of the week. Man. So if we're going to go traditional, if we're going to go traditional, that means from the laundry basket, goes to the washer, goes to the dryer, goes back to the laundry basket. And you don't need to leave it sitting in the washer for a day. Oh, no.

No, that's moldy. That smells. Well, sometimes. No, that's moldy. Get it into the dryer. as soon as possible. And with the dryer, beep, beep, beep. In fact, my dryer plays a little song.

Mine just go. And you go and you get it out. And you fold it. While it's still warm. So that creases, there's no creases. Fold it. Yes. And put it away.

And put it away. Now, if you don't want to put it away, I don't mind that. Put it on my side of the bed. And then I can put it away. But minimal. Fold it. Don't let it sit in the laundry. I am not paying you to set those clothes on my side of the bed.

Those clothes need to be put away. All right. Let's be clear about that right now. With Amex Platinum, $400 in annual credits for travel and dining means you not only satisfy your travel bug, but your taste buds too. That's the powerful backing of Amex. Conditions apply. According to this story, Cher is aging beautifully. That's 77.

Is she? Is she, though? Yes, she is, Jeff. Okay, fine. There are certain choices that she made for her diet and overall lifestyle that have likely contributed to her longevity. Really? The three cuts to clown face didn't come into mind?

Oh, that's not diet, Jeff. Okay. All right, fine. You know, it's in her jeans as well, and not the blue jeans that she wears. I guess her mother lived to be 96, and according to an interview way back in 1991, her grandmother was exercising every day at 72. So, you know, she's part of her DNA. And she talked about how she decided back in 1991 that dairy products are not good for us. Oh, okay.

So when she spoke to People magazine, 32 years ago, she said having access to unhealthy junk foods while filming for movies made it very hard for her to make healthy eating choices. So she got advice from a sports nutritionist named Robert Haas and co-authored a book with him about diet and fitness. Haas helped share come up.

with a wellness plan that would influence her to stay in shape and get healthier. So her dietary choices in 1991 included choosing healthier foods. Wait, is that a dietary choice? Yeah, just choose healthier foods. She opted for brown rice over white rice. She satisfied her sweet tooth with fruit like bananas, papaya, and nectarines. Her meals included vegetables, pastas, and legumes, like, lentils, pintoes, limes, and kidney beans. Oh, yeah. You got to give yourself a fighting chance, said

Cher. She decided to drink less milk. I weaned myself from whole milk to non-fat milk. If I'm having milk at all. Yeah, that's right. I was just going to say, why are you even having milk at all? I thought you were giving it up, but no, if she has it, it better be non-fat. And she said that she tries to avoid foods with a high fat content because they make her sluggish and they keep my weight up. And dairy products are not good for us. Okay. I think cheese is one of the worst things the body,

oh, oh, that's one of the worst things the body can have. It doesn't digest well and most cheeses are too high in fat and cholesterol. all. So cut cheese from the diet. There's a joke there somewhere but I'm going to let it go. Boy, that's a tough ask to cut cheese from the diet.

I get it. I want to make fun of share, but she's probably right. Not about the three cuts to clown face thing, but she's probably right about the diet. But man, I can't do it. I can't do it. I can't give up cheese. Yes, you can, Jeff. Just try really, really hard. Okay?

Then I see a report that talks about ultra-process foods. Now, that doesn't have, I mean, cheese, that's not ultra-processed, man. That's from the cow. It's right there. You're just blocking up. Speaking of being blocked up. Anyway, so a new study found that there could be a link between eating large amounts of ultra-process foods and depression.

So while there's a lot of data linking such foods to physical health issues like strokes, heart attacks, and high blood pressure, this is the first significant study that suggests that eating ultra-processed foods and drinks could increase the chances of depression. So now we're, I can't drink Diet Coke. I can't drink artificial sweeteners. Is that count as ultra-processed or is that just, that's just a little side note. Because when I think of ultra-processed foods, I think of, you know, the nasty generic cheese slices and, you know, some of the lunch meats, right? But not a Coke Zero. Man, back off me with that.

So I wonder if they're having second thoughts over there at Adidas. The CEO said in a podcast, Bajorn Goulden, who is the CEO of Adidas, said he doesn't believe that Yeh meant what he said when making anti-Semitic comments last year. That includes threatening to go death con three on Jewish people and accusing the CEO of LVMH of killing his best friend. The sportswear company dropped Yeh.

I mean, it cost Yeh. and them millions of dollars. Now, according to this, their stance has not changed, so they're not getting back together, and it's no big deal about all the money. We don't care. He's just saying that,

yay, oh, I don't think he really, I don't think he believed that. Oh, okay. And yet, you didn't come out in his defense when, well, it was probably too late by then. I mean, once that narrative is written, you're fighting it up here, uphill battle. And so I'm sure that's what

Bajon was thinking back then. And that's what he's thinking now. At Desjardin, we speak business. We speak startup funding and comprehensive game plans. We've mastered made to measure growth and expansion advice. And we can talk your ear off about transferring your business when the time comes. Because at Desjardin business, we speak the same language you do. Business. So join the more than 400,000 Canadian

entrepreneurs who already count on us and contact Desjardin today. We'd love to talk, business. So a company in France is touting the results of a new study involving its experimental cancer vaccine. The early data is quite encouraging, according to OSCE immunotherapeutics. OSEI immunotherapics. Patients with certain types. types of lung cancer saw their death rates decreased by 41%.

Also encouraging is the fact that non-small cell lung cancer treated with the vaccine is not only the most common, but also notoriously difficult to treat with other types of therapy. So another great vaccine and an experimental cancer vaccine. I mean, we've so tainted the use of the word of vaccine. I mean, I hope it, if it works, it's going to be an even harder cell because it's a vaccine. But if you have cancer, you're going to be fine with it because you're going to say, do anything you can to make this go away.

Speaking of anything, I've got some more, I've got some more health stuff too about vaping. But speaking of stuff that just won't go away. I see where Rudy Giuliani is in trouble again. Casey Hustigen, I'm sorry, Casey Hutchinson, a former Trump aide known for speaking at the January 6th congressional hearing. Yeah, remember her? She has now accused Rudy Giuliani of groping her on the day of the January 6th insurrection. It's in her upcoming book, enough. She described the moment as a wolf closing in on its prey.

She alleged that the Trump lawyer put his hand under her blazer, then her skirt. Okay. And the team, Giuliani's team has denied these allegations and calls them disgusting. And in fact, they called them a disgusting lie. made to promote her book. And how do you refute it by saying it's a disgusting lie? But it's out there. It's in the book.

Have a nice day. So, I mean, things just going bad to worse for Rudy Giuliani. Okay. Back to help. Male e-cigarette users. If you vape, you may think twice about it now because new research on male rats. And I know what you're thinking.

Those are just rats, Jeff. know, I know. They have shown that vaping can shrink the size of testicles, hampering sex drive, and reducing sperm count. I don't know if we've done this story before. I feel like I have. I've had this for a while, but if I haven't, man, you need to know this. And if I have, sorry, you need to know this.

So Turkish scientists took readings of the rat's testicle size before and after. I mean, that's a good job, right? What are you doing today? Well, I've got to go in and measure some rat testicles the size of. Well, that's me. That's what I'm doing today. I've got to do the west wing of rat testicle size. Anyway, after exposing the animals to cigarette smoke and e-cigarette vapors,

as well as identifying biomarkers of stress in the blood and genitals. Okay. So the impact of conventional cigarette smoke, as previous studies suggest, is even worse on the male organ. Oh, I don't like the sound of that. A sperm count of rats exposed to e-cigarette vapor was 95.1 million sperm per milliliter compared to 98.5 billion per millilator

in a group who were not exposed to any nicotine. I mean, it's only, you know, a little over 3 million sperm per milliliter. You can give or take a few. However, the group of rats exposed to cincoleteen, cigarette smoke had the lowest of all three counts with 89 million sperm per milliliter. I will say, just as a side note, I was a full-time smoker when I fathered all my children. So it should be considered that e-cigarette liquid has been introduced as harmless in smoking cessation studies.

It could increase oxidative stress and cause morphological changes in the testicle. that was a report published in the Spanish language journal Revisita International Dianzokalad. So Danish researchers in 2020 found that men who used e-cigarettes daily had a significantly lower total of sperm count than non-vapers. But authors of the current study say more human data is needed to support these findings. Now let me ask you a question off of that line. If you're a scientist and you spend your day measuring rat testicles to see if vaping and smoking affects the size of rat testicles, when someone comes to you and says, well, is that it? Are we good? Vaping, you know, makes your testicles go small, right?

That's the deal. We're done. Well, you know what? We've shown that the total sperm count is lower when you vape than when you're not, when you're not, when you're not, you don't vape, but we need more data. So we need to continue on, and if you could just continue

giving us study and grant money, that would be great. So you could just continue and wait for more research to be done. And we'll publish it, for sure, but it's going to take a while. But for right now, yeah, sure. It makes testicles smaller.

That is the story of science.
