So 23 and Me, the genetic testing company, has now confirmed that hackers stole the personal information of about 6.9 million people. That's only about half of their total customers. Now, the company's findings come after its investigation, which started in October, when the day, Data breach allegedly happened. Well, I don't know why they put allegedly in the story because the company is now confirming it. So the investigation, I guess it was allegedly back then. 23 and me said hackers used compromised passwords to tap into customers family tree and DNA relative profiles. They got access to DNA info, zip codes, birth years, and family names, publishing some of the information.

online. Now, the stolen info definitely could help other hackers commit identity theft. Duh, that's what it's for. Still, though, 23 and Me says, hey, we haven't learned of any reports of inappropriate use of the data. So don't you worry about it. Everything is fine so far. Just incredible. So if you, we've said it before on the show. If you think that your information is safe, you're wrong. I know everybody needs to do what they can to keep it as safe as possible, no questions. I feel like I should go into some sort of commercial for data safety, but I'm not. I'm just telling you, do what you can to keep your information as, you know, as safe as possible.

The only way to keep it, keep all your information safe would be not to go online, ever. And that's almost impossible in today's world. It can be done. be done, but it's almost impossible. So just know that everything's fine, though, because 23 and me has not learned of any reports of inappropriate use of the data. So it's fine. Don't even worry about it.

Welcome. Welcome to Chewing the Fat. So if you're listening live, today is the 5th of December, 2023, and tomorrow will be the announcement of Time Magazine's 2023 person of the year, the annual selection. of the individual group or concept that has had the most influence on the world throughout the previous 12 months, how excited are you? Started way back in 1927, and man, it was a good thought then, and it's even a better thought now. So previous selections have been Joe Biden, Gamala Harris, Martin Luther King Jr.,

Angela Merkel, Pope Francis, and Greta Funberg. The 2022 time person of the year was Ukrainian president of Vladimir Zelenskyy. And the spirit of Ukraine. Oh, yeah, man, who could forget that? So there's nine candidates whose names were revealed that are in the running, all right? So the nine candidates that are in the running are the Hollywood strikers, Xi Jinping, President of China, obviously, Taylor Swift, Sam Altman, the Trump prosecutors, Barbie, Vladimir Putin, King Charles III, Jerome Powell.

And so I wonder who's going. to win. Who could win out of that group? I'm sure the, you know, big money's on Taylor Swift, of course. It's her year. She's taken over the globe. So she will definitely probably, definitely, probably. You can quote me on that. Definitely probably win. But, you know, I'm all for as you Jing Ping. You know, hey, what a great guy. And what a super world. leader that he is. Vladimir Putin as well, man, he could he could just, King Charles too. He'd be happy to be on the list. Are we going to give it to the king? I don't think so. But he's proud to be on the list. Jerome Powell,

the chairman of the Federal Reserve. Stop it. Barbie. Okay. All right. I know you were a big movie and everything, but no. Sam Altman. Okay. Mr. Open AI. Okay. Fine. We're to give it to him? I think not. Hollywood strikers? All right. Come on now. You know Taylor's going to win it, right? Definitely, probably Taylor Swift. Since it is that time of year, I mean, everybody announces their top thing for the past year. You know, last, I think it was last week we heard Marianne Webster's word of the year was authentic. So now we have to hear what the Oxford Dictionary's word of the year is. Go ahead. take a guess take a guess if you already know just don't say anything

but if you don't know take a guess nope you're wrong the uh Oxford word of the year is Riz R-I-ZZ it's a term Gen Z is mainly embraced and it beat out words such as prompt situation ship

and Swifty that were considered by the Oxford University Press so under the Oxford definition of Riz, Riz, Rizz, it's a noun that means style, charm, attract or the ability to attract

a romantic or sexual partner. Riz was a shortened form of the word charisma. It can also be used as a verb, often in the phrase, Riz up, which means to attract, seduce, or chat up a person.

So, congratulations to Riz for becoming the Oxford Dictionary's Word of the Year. Don't forget last year, the term goblin mode took the prize as Oxford's 2022 word of the year, which described a type of behavior

when someone is unapologetically self-indulgent, lazy, slovingly, or greedy. Typically, in a way that rejects social norms or expectations. I mean, I kind of feel like I live goblin mode, but maybe that's just me. Back to Riz, though, interesting that they say in the story, you know, what, who's had it, who did it first. So they claim in the story that the origins have been pegged to a Twitch streamer, Kai Sennett, who has been credited with popularizing the word on the interactive live streaming platform.

If you don't know what Twitch is, he told, he said that he came, uh, from him and his group of friends before he said it on Twitch and it spilled across social media. So he claims that the word was not short for charisma, but instead it meant game. But if you go to the Miriam Webster's time travel site and type in Riz, it talks the meaning of definitely what Oxford says that it is. You know, I, the boys are attempting to Riz up nearby hotties. so they claim that the word was first known use was in 2021 they don't say that it was from kaisan it just say it's first started being used in 2021 so now we've completely turned the meaning of

riz around and that's what happens on social media you start using a word and it starts becoming different like my word uh bougie which is being used in the wrong way but i don't want to go back to that. I'll just let that one go for a little bit. Still hurts a little. Talked about that on yesterday's show. As long as we're wrapping up things for 23 from companies, IBM has unveiled the first quantum

computer with more than 1,000 qubits, Q-U-B-I-T-S. That's the equivalent of the digital bits in an ordinary computer. I mean, you know that. The company says it will now shift gears and focus on making its machines more error-resistant rather than

larger. Now this particular chip unveiled is called Condor and has 1,121 superconducting quibbets arranged in a honeycomb pattern. It follows on from its other record setting bird named machines. They had the 127 quibbit chip in 2021. That was called Osprey

and the 433 quibbitt last year, which I believe was called, oh no, I think last year was Osprey. The first one, the 127 quibbett chip, was called Eagle, and then this year was called contour. So, I mean, these quantum states are notoriously fickle and prone to error. So we're just trying to coax it through and to make it work on you know, state of the art error correction techniques. It's going to require more than a thousand physical qubits to each logical quibbit.

The machine that can do useful computations would then need to have millions of physical qubits. Duh. I mean, they're working on the alternative error correction scheme. That's called quantum low density parity check. You know that. small case Q, capital LDPC. And it promises to cut that number by a factor of 10 or more,

according to a preprint by IBM researchers. The company says it's going to focus on building chips designed to hold a few QLDPC corrected qubits in just 400 or so physical qubits and then networking those chips together. So that's good news, right? I mean, this new roadmap on IBM's quantum research sees its reaching useful computations, such as simulating the workings of a catalyst molecules by the end of the decade.

And according to IBM, it's always been the dream, and it's always been a distant dream. Actually, having it come close enough that we can see the path from where we are today is enormous. And I would say, isn't it? Isn't it, though?

All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink desperately. I know many of you on social media. If you follow me at Jeffie JFR on X, Jeff Fisher Radio, on Instagram and Facebook. And, of course, you can follow me on YouTube, Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher. And you can always email the show Chewing the Fat at the Blaze.com. I have been asking me whether I was going to, you know, run for Pope again.

Pope Francis is seemingly on his last leg, very sad. This was the second weekend in a row. He announced he would not be delivering the traditional Sunday comments. He offered a short statement similar in tone to the prior week, during which he revealed that bronchitis kept him from reciting his entire message. He also, of course, this Pope wanted to show up at COP28, to talk about the climate and how devastating the climate is, to the planet.

He's not going to be there in person. I'm sure he's sending some of his due people from the Vatican, but he's not going to be there. So it's a thought. I don't know that I will run for Pope again. It's a grueling campaign. And then you have to wait for the white smoke to show up. And your hopes get, your hopes are there that they're going to choose you.

And then the last time that I ran, they didn't. It was very frustrating. So I'm thinking about it. Just know, I'm putting together a research team. to look into whether I should, you know, look into running again or not. It's possible. You never know. I see everybody's all happy. The new Grand Theft Auto trailer dropped this morning.

And like I said today is 12-5, 2023. However, they leaked the video yesterday. They leaked the video yesterday. And they saw the first female protagonist on Grand Theft Auto, the latest one. It's been 10 years since the last installment of GTA dropped. And this one will be released in 2025. So we're just got the promo. It's incredible.

And don't forget, Netflix is trying to capitalize on the growing hype. So they are adding three classic GTA titles to its catalog on December 14th. So you can play your games on Netflix. I looked at a chart of the streamers and how much they have in their catalogs. Pretty incredible. Not that when you look down the list, Prime Video has the most. They have 14,206. Wow.

Videos on their platform. Netflix has 6,472. Peacock has 5,121. Hulu has 5,075. Max, HBO, has 3,533, Disney Plus has 1,976, Paramount Plus has 1,582, and Apple TV Plus only has 208. Wow, they need to do something with that, I'll tell you that. So now, currently an Apple TV Plus subscription costs you $9.99 a month, while a Paramount Plus essential subscription without Showtime is $599.9.

a month. I think that's what I have. Because my Paramount Plus subscription has commercials which drives me insane, but that's just the way it goes. I sit through them. Okay. I do. I may mute them, but I sit through them.

And some of them I like, so just leave me alone. I mean, I do like commercials. So they're looking at putting those together. And so, you know, with, I mean, they're all increasing their prices and they're looking at all the content. they have and they want to bundle their stuff.

So we'll see if Paramount and Apple hook up together to bring all that stuff together. You know, the subscription I don't have is to Peacock. And I know that they've got some stuff on there and they're adding some new stuff. And I see they're really driving coming up, I think, next week. But soon they're going to be having a dual NFL night. Only one of them is going to be available on Peacock. So, I mean, that will drive some subscriptions for Peacock. I'm still like, there's nothing that's been on Peacock yet that will drive me to get a subscription.

However, you know, if you have a Peacock subscription, you can email me your password. Or direct message me your password on any of the social media platforms. And I'll try it out and check it out and see if it's worth subscribing to. or I'll just use your password. But, you know, just you can change it after a week. Just let me have it for a week and then you can change it. And then I can, you know, say, you know, that I watch some stuff on that particular platform.

And I'll let you know what it's like. All right? Make that happen. Please. I mean, all the networks are promoting that their shows, they're busy, you know, the strike is over and they're busy producing all their shows that are going to be available after the first of the year. That's what they're promoing. All these shows are going to be out in the first of the year.

You know, the television. shows from the networks, not shows on the streamers. I see where they're promoting the House of the Dragon, the Game of Thrones prequel. They're saying that's expected. They released a trailer for it, and that's expected to come out the summer of next year. We'll see. I don't know.

The way they talked about it, when they say they expect something to come out by the summer, that means they've got a lot of work to do on. the old show. So we'll see. You know, it could come out. We'll see what happens. You know, who knows? I mean, somebody on the show could come out and say they voted for Donald Trump.

And that would just shut production down. I mean, I doubt it. I doubt very much that someone on House of the Dragons on HBO, I'm sorry, Max, would come out and say they voted for Donald Trump. But I see where Kelsey Grammer, the Frazier actor, he was on an interview with BBC Radio fours today. I love the BBC Radio 4 is today. And when asked whether he is still a Trump supporter, he added that he would and let that be the end of it.

That's kind of a weird way to respond to that. I guess the radio host, after the interview said Kelsey was perfectly happy to go on talking about it. Paramount Plus PR people were less than happy that he talked about. They decided, okay, interviews over. Have a nice day. We're done. We're done. take care. We don't want any of our

stars saying they would have voted for Trump. We don't want that. We can't have that. So I remember a couple years ago with Christine Amampur. Grammar said that conservative, he voted for Trump and then Christine asked

the actor whether he had taken hits for it and he said I'm unaware of taking a hit for it. So he just says what he believes. I'm working, I'm acting, I'm doing my stuff. And yes, I voted for Trump. And so I'm still a supporter of him.

Whether you like it or not, that's just the way it is. Okay? So I guess the season finale of the latest Frazier comes out later this week. I have not finished it yet. That's on Paramount Plus. I've watched, I don't know, I'm about four episodes in or whatever. I haven't caught them all yet. It's okay.

I enjoyed it. I mean, I like Frasier. We talked about this before. I mean, I liked it. It's okay. Nothing superb yet, but it's enjoyable. and it's a Phil show for me. The Bass Reeves, Law Man Bass Rees on Paramount Plus, awesome.

Two episodes left, there's only eight episodes of Lawman Bass Reeves. And number six was just dropped this past week. It's been really good. I really want more. And two more episodes is not going to give it to me. But there's some really good storylines throughout. So hopefully we'll get season two ASAP. Oh, that's right.

That's what made me think about Peacock. is that I saw Peacock is debuting a new Monk movie with Tony Shalub. He's returning as Adrian Monk on Peacock. This week, actually on Friday, Mr. Monk's last case of Monk movie. And it reunites the detective with his old crew. It's a personal case involving his stepdaughter. And so it would be fun. I loved Monk the TV show when it was out a high.

hundred years ago. So we'll see if this actually, you know, holds up to the original monk. But awesome stuff. I mean, Mr. Germ, or I should say, Mr. Anti-Germ monk, we'll see how he survived the pandemic because people like him were already doing what they were telling us to do during the pandemic.

So it should be fascinating to see what the character monk has, has survived. So it's been 14 years, I said 100 years. I was a little off. 14 years since the last monk.

So we finally heard from Jamie Fox a little bit. He was apparently overcome with emotion at the Critics Choice Association Award celebration of cinema and television honoring black, Latino and AAPI achievements the other night and what a beautiful night it was.

I must have missed my invitation to the Critics Choice Association Award Celebration of Cinema and Television honoring Black. Oh, that's why. Honoring Black Latino and AAPI achievement. The Oscar winner, 55 now, fought back tears as he accepted the Vanguard Award from presenter and burial co-star, Journey Samalit,

in his first public appearance since his mysterious medical complication. Yeah. So it wasn't that. Don't be thinking about that. It was just a mysterious medical complication. All right. So after receiving an overwhelming standing ovation from the audience, of course, he walked across the stage, and he, of course, talked about the health scare. He said, you know, it's crazy. I couldn't do that six months ago. I couldn't actually walk. He began his 12-minute speech before taking a pause due to being overcome with emotion. a clone. I know a lot of people were saying I was cloned out there.

I want to thank everybody. I've been through something. I've been through some things. I cherish every single minute now. It's different. I wouldn't wish what I went through on my worst enemy because it's tough when it's almost over when you see the tunnel.

I saw the tunnel. I didn't see the light. I have new respect for life. I have new respect for my art. I watch so many movies and listen to so many songs trying to have the time go by. Don't give up on your art, man. Don't give up.

Okay. He spoke about his health woes in July, saying he went to Helen back as he praised his sister and his daughter for saving his life. I went through something I thought he would never go through. And so he said he's not paralyzed. Yeah, yeah, we talked about that. And so just know that he's back.

and we're all, I mean, we're thankful that Jamie is back, and I know that we are all wondering about the mysterious medical complication that definitely isn't that. Otherwise, they would have told us. So, why don't you just shut up about that, okay? As long as we're talking about the mysterious medical complications, I see where, it was nothing mysterious about executions. Fewer states use capital punishment,

but more prisoners. were executed in 2023. All right. Texas, Florida, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Alabama carried out executions in 23, while the majority of U.S. states have banned or paused

the practice by executive order, according to a new report by the Death Penalty Information Center. There was an increase in executions in 2023, however, from the previous year. 24 people were executed in 2023, only 18, 18 were executed in 2022. This year was the ninth consecutive year with fewer than 30 executions.

Man, we need to get those numbers up. The report also found that people of color were overrepresented among those executed in 2023 as nine of the 24 prisoners executed were people of color. What does that say? Oh, I go ahead and just, you know, know what it says. And I just, that just drives me and saying, okay, I got you, I got you. Nine of the 24 prisoners executed were people of color. Okay. Does that mean that they were overrepresented? Okay. All right, if you say so. The report attributed the increase in

executions from 2022 to 2023, thanks to Florida governor, Ron DeSantis, resuming the practice in the state ahead of his presidential bid. Yeah. And I'm sure the people were proud of it. I don't think he's fired up old sparky yet again. But I'm not opposed to it, okay? The report also noted that earlier in November, Gallup found that a record high percentage of Americans said the death penalty applied unfairly in the U.S.

The highest percentage since Gallup started asking the question in 2000. Yeah, so 50% say it was applied unfairly. Yeah, but we have gone down the list of what the people on and death row have been sentenced from their crimes, and it is not unfairly. It's only unfair to the people that they murdered, okay? So I know everybody opposes, I say everybody, 50% oppose the death penalty,

but I do not. And when you look at the crimes that these people did, and I know, although the capital punishment is too flawed and risky, cruel and dehumanizing, look at what they've been. convicted of what they're been convicted of is cruel and dehumanizing and they don't deserve to be on this planet i'm sorry everyone deserves life jeff okay all right all right you you tell yourself that no problem you go ahead it's a this is still america isn't it yeah not really but it is and so if you

want to believe that you go right ahead i however uh do not i also see long as we're going down the of death, suicide deaths reached a record high in the U.S. in 2022. Now, there were decreases, thankfully, in children and young adults, but more people died from suicide in the United States last year than any other year on record. Wow. So I guess they've gone back to 1941, according to the provisional data from the U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention. and of course you trust all the data that the CDC gives you.

So at least 49,449 lives were lost due to intentional self-harm. More than 14 deaths for every 100,000 people. Really sad. Men were about four times more likely than women to die by suicide, and rates were highest among senior men. But the suicide rate increased twice as much for women in 2022, with especially significant increases among white women and those ages 25 to 34. Wow.

Suicide rates have been rising in the U.S. for the past few decades. In 2021, the U.S. Surgeon General called for the implementation of a national prevention strategy and issued an advisory focused on protecting young youth mental health amid a spike in suicide rates and alarming increases in mental health challenges among young people. There's a lot of speculation on women. what is causing that and what has caused that. And they break it down even more inside this story.

Just amazing. But if you, you know, we've all had suicide touch our lives and it's never, it's never good. You know, I, I don't know. I mean, I guess I understand the thought of, now I won't say that either. You know, it's just, it's a terrible thing. And it's never what the person who's committing suicide. Not all of them, obviously, but the person who commits suicide believes that everyone's life around them will be better without them in it.

And that just isn't true. And so, you know, get some, look, they've created the 988 suicide and crisis lifeline. So if you or someone you know is struggling or in crisis, help is available. Call or text 988-8, or you can chat the 988 lifeline.org. and they're there to help you through it. Okay, so at least try and attempt to get some help. 9-8-8 is the suicide and crisis lifeline. With Amex Platinum, $400 in annual credits for travel and dining

So apparently ancient mosquito fossils found trapped in amber suggest males of the species used to suck blood hundreds of millions of years ago. Only female modern day mosquitoes have that ability. What are we doing?

Messing with mosquitoes trapped in amber. Perhaps we haven't seen the documentary Jurassic Park. But when we find mosquitoes trapped in amber, how about we let them be? Okay, that's all I'm saying. So now, if you've been bitten by mosquito, it was a female insect that bit you. Okay, female mosquitoes are hematophagus. Yeah, that's a female mosquito.

And that's what they are. Male mosquitoes living today are not. Hematophagus. So they survive on plant nectar because they're piercing mouth, parts they aren't strong enough to pierce skin. Okay, but I guess 100 million years ago, they were hematophagus. But the female went out and said, no, look, you are not going to continue sucking blood, okay? We're the female, we're going to take over.

So why don't you just back off and go die over there in the amber, okay? So hematophagy is the ability for insects to suck on blood of other animals. It's believed to have evolved from a shift to using piercing, sucking mouth parts to extract fluids from plants instead of animals. Fleas that currently suck animal blood possibly arose from earlier species of insects that primarily fed on plant nectar. The evolution of hematography has, been more difficult to trace, partially due to gaps in the insect fossil record. Yeah, well, what are you going to do? You're going to dig them out of the amber and start messing with them, and the next thing you know, we're going to have giant dinosaurs roaming around, and that just

can't happen. Okay, it just can't happen. So stop it. And then we have a new species of sea spider that was reportedly discovered crawling around the frozen waters of Antarctica. Okay, so we're finding new species all the time on this planet. Things we didn't know existed before. I don't know that I wanted to know that this particular species existed. Okay. So this was discovered in the Ross Sea, which is the sea about 200 miles from the South Pole. Okay. They found this new species known as Ostrapelein Helanchi. Amorphophalus. Nope. That's not it. A-U-S-T-R-O-P-A-L-L-E-H-A-L-A-N-Y-C-H-A-Morphal.

No, no, that's not it. So the details of the discovery were laid out in a new study published in the journal Zoo Keys, and I love the journal Zoo Keys. The report noted that in 2013, so 10 years, ago, scientists were working aboard the ship R-VIB, Nathaniel B. Palmer, reeled in a net, and realized that the unusual specimen did not fall into any pre-existing descriptions of spiders. So the new sea spider was apparently discovered around 1,900 feet underwater. It turned out to be much larger than other sea spiders, with his legs measuring more than 1 inch in length.

And the report stated that it has four pigmented eyes and a shone, and a short, you know, short, swollen abdomen, and a wreath of bristle-like follicles around its mouth. It looks beautiful. I mean, you just want to hug it, don't you? So one of the most unique elements, according to Andrew Mahan, one of the co-authors of the study for Zoo Keys

that was published in Zookees, is that the new Sea Spider has vital, organs originating in its legs. The species appears to use its legs to breathe. Again, you just want to reach out and hug it, don't you? So according to the study's abstract, the sea spider is a new species of cyanogonid within the family of the

Kalapelaninatea. Pesanagania. and it's pronounced just like that. And it's named after Kenneth M. Halanch, who is a prolific marine invertebrate scientist. And if you know anything about invertebrate scientists, you know that Kenneth is the prolific marine invertebrate scientist. According to his LinkedIn profile,

he helps lead the center of marine science and has focused much of his professional career on the genomics and evolution of marine invertebrates. So I hope we just put that thing back into the sea and we'll just kind of forget that it's there. Okay? All right, good. Well, today we've given you the Person of the Year nominees, the Word of the Year, stuff that happens, you know,

every December in, well, the world, but here specifically in the United States. So why not end as long as we're talking about animals, with the 2023 top trending pet names in the U.S., according to Rover. Rover is an online marketplace for pet owners, and it has released the result of its 11th annual most popular pet names. I mean, Fluffy is my favorite, but apparently it's not the most popular. The top 10 trending dog names for 2023, Chia, Robbie, Emma, E-M-M-M-E,

Estrella, who names their dog Estrella? Smoky, Minnow, Laney, Oak, Wednesday, and the number one dog name is Kelsey. Of course, K-E-L-C-E. Cat names, who, I mean, okay, if you have a cat, then here you go. Masey, Luffy, Munch, Knox, Suki, Fuzz, Choco, Snoop, Sojo, and Norbert, number one. The top trending dog names, according to Rover.

Now, those were the trending names, but there's also the most popular names, according to Rover and the American Kennel Club. So that's different than the trending names. Okay, so the popular names, the top 10 popular names for dogs, Duke, Leo, we're going 10 to 1. Duke, Leo, Bear, Rocky, Teddy, Buddy, Milo, Cooper, Max, Charlie. And then they have the female names for dogs, Bailey, Stella, Sadie, Zoh, Lola, Lily, Lucy, Daisy, Bella, Luna.

The male cat names, who, okay, Jasper, Ollie, Simba, Max, Loki, Loki, Charlie, Leo, Milo Oliver. Female cat names. Stella, Willow, Cleo, Kitty, Callie, Nala, Lucy, Lily, Bella, and Luna. Oh, wow. Luna is number one for female cat names and number one for female dog names. So Luna, excellent choice. Lucy is, came in fourth for a cat and dogs. So there you have it.
