And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher
For a little perspective, something I found on the interwebs.
At this moment, imagine you were born in 1900
when you're 14 World War I starts
and ends on your 18th birthday with 22 million people killed.
Later in the year, a Spanish flu epidemic hits the planet
and runs until you're 20.
50 million people die in those two years.
When you're 29, the Great Depression begins.
Unemployment hits 25%.
Global GDP drops 27%.
That runs until you're 33.
The country nearly collapses along with the world economy.
When you turn 39, World War II starts.
You're not even 40 yet.
When you're 41, the United States,
States is fully pulled into World War II. Between your 39th and 45th birthday, 75 million people
perish in the war and the Holocaust kills 12 million. At 52, the Korean War starts and 5 million
perish. At 64, the Vietnam War begins and doesn't end for many years. Four million people
die in that conflict. Approaching your 62nd birthday, you have the Cuban Missile Cross. You have the Cuban Missile
A tipping point in the Cold War.
Life on our planet, as we know it, could well have ended.
Great leaders prevented that from happening.
As you turn 75, the Vietnam War finally ends.
Think of everyone on the planet born in 1900.
How do you survive all of that?
A kid in 1985 didn't think their 85-year-old grandparent understood how hard school was.
Yet those grandparents and now great-grandparents survived through every.
everything listed above.
Perspective.
Respective is an amazing thing.
And so as 2023 begins,
let's try to keep things in perspective, shall we?
Yeah.
That sounds good, doesn't it?
Welcome.
Welcome to Chewing the Fat.
Well, well, well, no one won the lottery.
no one hit the jackpot.
The jackpot that we had last night, for those of you listening live, today is Wednesday,
the 4th of January, 2023.
Last night, the Mega Millions drawing was $785 million.
Pretty sweet.
No one won.
So now, as of right now, it is $940 million.
$483.5 million.
That drawing will take place on Friday, 16.
It's a Friday night, this coming Friday night,
for those of you listening live today on Wednesday the 4th.
So they did, there was a million dollar winner in Texas.
I haven't checked my tickets.
It's possible I could have won a million dollars.
It is possible.
Highly unlikely with my luck.
But it is possible that I want a million dollars.
And that would be pretty sweet.
I could definitely use it.
I don't know about you, but I could definitely use it.
So good luck.
Good luck to all the people playing Mega Millions.
Before the break, or actually right after the break, it was mid-December,
we got an update about spinach in Australia that is being considered toxic.
Now, we get recalls all the time.
Yesterday I talked about a recall of alfalfa.
I talked about the recall of alfalfa today on Pat Gray-on-leashed
with the midweek chewing the fat segment,
which happens every Wednesday on Pat Gray-on-leashed.
And I don't, you know, those recalls are all because people are getting poisoned from some illness.
This spinach, apparently, the symptoms were delirium, spiked heart rate,
and blurred vision.
How come I can't have this happen to me
when I eat spinach?
So spinach from Riviera Farms
say that, yeah,
we think the spinach was contaminated by a weed,
but we don't know.
And no other products have been affected.
Oh, okay.
So they're asking for people to seek hospital care
if you get any symptoms from eating spinach from Riviera Farms.
Riviera Farms said they've taken action.
We've asked shops to remove from their shelves.
And there's no suggestion and to our knowledge no possibility
that any other products have been impacted by this weed.
That's a darn good weed.
And why can't we have that in all spinach products?
I'm willing to eat spinach if it,
lets me have a little spike to heart rate,
some blurred vision, and a little delirium.
I mean, yum, yum.
And speaking of food you might want to be careful with,
I see where pickle me everything,
the TikTok creator has now apologized
because she was packaging her homemade pickled products
and selling them online.
And there was a little bit of an issue
with how she was packaging them.
So Pickle Me Everything's products first came under scrutiny after Food Nutrition Tick-Tocker,
Food Science, Babe, made a video last week criticizing the creator,
saying she was incorrectly packaging her pickles.
Damn it!
So Pickle Me Everything products are now under fire.
And in the video from Food Science, Babe,
Pickle me everything.
She talks about how her products may come with minor leaking.
And they're hand sealed, not pressure sealed, not pressure cooked, nothing involved.
Food Science, babe, was like, this is clearly not canning them correctly.
But pickled and canned foods are actually not even allowed under cottage law in California.
Damn it!
So have you purchased it?
purchased anything from the TikToker pickle me everything you may want to question that purchase because of the nutrition ticotker food science babes on happiness with pickle me everything now tick tocker chef pie was questioned about the safety surrounding the viral homemade dipping sauce pink sauce and uh that's an issue too so i remember the pink sauce that had such a
big deal. They had partnerships
with creators and
I would go out, I'm just going to go out on a limb
and say that if
you purchase
something from a
TikToker
that is being made
food wise, food wise, not products, but
food wise from a TikToker,
you're doing so at your own risk.
So if you get sick, and I
want, get over it. Okay?
I know there's a risk of botch
So what?
According to this,
less than five of every 100 people
with botulism die.
So shut up.
110 cases are reported annually
in the U.S. I mean, that's nothing, really.
As the CDC estimates that
48 million people get sick,
128,000 are hospitalized,
3,000 die,
from food-borne diseases each year in the United States.
So, I mean, the odds are probably in your favor that you're going to be fine.
So just know that if you ordered something from Pickle Me Everything
or the Pink Sauce guy, the Pink Sauce TikToker, I said, guy, I'm sorry, I don't want to just threw that out there.
The TikToker, Chef Bye.
Just be careful.
Do so at your own risk.
That's a good rule of thumb on most everything in life.
Do so at your own risk.
And just to be clear, Pickle Me Everything has apologized to everyone and said sorry.
So shut up.
Pickle me everything.
She said in her video, everything happened just so fast.
And I'm going to be refunding everyone's orders.
And recently I rented a commercial kitchen.
I'm working on getting all the licenses to permit.
whatever it is I need to get done.
Uh-huh.
So anyway, she apologized, and she's going to give you your money back.
So it's fixed.
Okay?
I'll be interested to see if and when pickle me everything is up and running with all the licenses, permits,
and whatever it is, she needed to get done.
So I'm not sure how it happens, but I know how they told me, or they're,
tell us it happened, but I don't know that I believe it.
So, Fairfax County on the East Coast over there by D.C., apparently an off-duty police officer
inadvertently broadcast audio porn over the police radio.
Oh, okay.
So it occurred around 1230 a.m. on January 1st.
Right after New Year's, a little audio porn celebration.
coming at you
was a channel primarily used
by dispatchers and first responders.
So the inappropriate
radio broadcast
five minutes of the audio
matched what was broadcast
on the police radio overnight.
The police officer
was off duty
at the time in his vehicle
when the incident occurred. Oh,
okay. So
the off duty officer had his portable
radio in the trunk of his car and forgot to turn it off. How many times? How many times that
happened to you? Me too. I forget to turn my police radio off all the time. So our investigation,
according to the Fairfax Police Department, revealed that the officer was off duty and was listening
to audio porn over his Bluetooth in his vehicle, which was captured on his activated police radio.
Oh, okay.
No other person was in the vehicle with him.
Right.
The off-duty officer had his portable radio in the trunk of his car,
forgot to turn it off.
The portable radio was inadvertently activated while the officer was driving.
Our investigation revealed that the off-duty officer was listening to audio porn over his Bluetooth.
in his car.
I mean, that happens all the time.
Who doesn't just drive around listening to audio porn?
I'm not sure what that is, actually.
No, don't get.
That's the wrong thing.
I know, I understand what audio porn is.
Remember they used to call the 900 numbers and get audio porn.
But with the internet,
maybe he was watching some kind of porn.
on his phone over his
Bluetooth and that's the porn that they
got picked up so it's only audio
because they're only listening
there's no video right
so that's what you're just listening to
maybe
he's listening
he's calling 900 numbers over his
Bluetooth I don't know
but I doubt it I'm sure he's watching
some kind of porn and
you know the audio
goes over the
radio that was in his trunk while he was off duty and had inadvertently turned on.
That just happens all the time.
So it's fine.
Don't worry about it.
Stop your whining.
It was just a little porn over one of the police channels that they use for
first responders and dispatchers.
So shut up.
Okay.
Amazing times.
We live in amazing.
times. You know, I was looking at the
year in review, the
porn hubs, 2022
year in review.
And just some
amazing stats from porn hub.
I mean, the United States is definitely
the number one country.
United Kingdom, number two,
France, Japan, Mexico, Italy, Germany,
Canada. And then you get into
Philippines, Brazil, blah, blah, blah.
All the other countries around the world. I'm not
blah, blah, blah, blah, in your countries, but
I don't want you to feel bad.
Okay, so it's Brazil, Spain, Poland, Netherlands, Australia, Ukraine, Argentina.
Ukraine still has time for porn.
Oh, now, maybe it slowed down.
That's why they're so low on the list.
Argentina, Colombia, Egypt, Sweden, Belgium.
Okay, that's the top 20 countries.
79.3% of the daily traffic from those top 20 countries right there.
I will say that Egypt was up 7% and everybody else was up, well, Canada.
was down one.
Ukraine was down a couple.
No kidding.
Australia was down a couple.
Rest are up, though.
Good for them.
Good for them.
So in Egypt,
they spend
11 minutes and 12 seconds
time per visit.
The average visit
duration worldwide,
down a second
to nine minutes and 54
seconds.
Female visitors, however, were up six seconds compared to male visitors.
So just saying everybody's right around 10 minutes.
I know it's 9 minutes of 54 is the average.
Mexico is 8 minutes and 45 seconds.
Then, man, all these countries, the top 20 are just under 10.
And then you get to United Kingdom, France, Netherlands, Germany,
Philippines, Japan are 10 minutes and under between 10 and 11 minutes.
So the United States is 9 minutes and 41 seconds.
We're below average.
And then Egypt, of course, is number one.
Egypt coming at at number one with 11 minutes and 12 seconds of viewing time per visit.
Wow.
In the United States, the number one state, Alabama.
although everybody is
well let's see
Mississippi, Arkansas, Missouri
South Carolina, Louisiana
and Alabama are
all over 11 minutes
North Carolina, Georgia, Kentucky
and Indiana are between
10 and 11 minutes
and then the shortest
amount of time, Ohio, Ohio,
the worst state in the union.
All right, stop it.
Eight minutes and 44 seconds.
And then
Utah, Utah coming in at almost above average, actually,
nine minutes and 52 seconds.
So congratulations to Alabama for being number one
in the time spent per visit at 11 minutes and 22 seconds.
And I was looking at the different categories of searches.
and you know they have the gen z's number one in gen z's was threesomes and the gen y's
three sums was number two but then you get into gen x and boomers threesomes isn't they're
not even on the list wow so gen x 35 to 54 uh does not have threesomes uh and then uh boomers
it does not have threesomes
Gen Z, threesome's is number one
And Gen Y, three-sumstimpses number two,
coming in behind Asian.
And then,
Gen Y gets to milf and feet,
virtual reality,
transgender, tattooed women,
FFM.
And then if you don't know any of these abbreviations are,
look them up.
And Z has three-sims virtual reality, cosplay, cartoon, uncensored, and die.
Vertical video, scissoring, role play.
So just saying those are right there, the top ones.
The 2022, Pornhubs Year in Review.
Top Porn Stars, A Bella Danger.
It's number one.
Of course, I didn't have to tell you that.
Lena Rhodes comes in at number two.
Riley Reed comes in at three.
Violet Myers comes in at four.
And Angela White comes in at number five for the top porn stars.
The top categories,
Ebony, lesbian, threesome, transgender, milf.
So I looked around at the top relative searches in the United States.
and it's kind of, well, some of the states are a little disheartening,
is all I can say.
For instance, I broadcast from the state of Texas.
The state of Texas top relative search was panties.
I think we can do better than that.
I think we can do better than that.
Can't we?
All right, let's go to the break room.
enough of the old porn hub
2022 let's look forward to the future
please
let's go to the break room
I need something cold to drink desperately

the new year is here
and whether you're making big changes
or just settling back into a consistent
routine chances are you could use
some audio accompaniment on your journey

I mean, I have a bunch of new music that I've been trying to get to.

Okay.
Well, good luck. God bless.
This, I tell you what.
This is why I need to be U.S. Postal Inspector.
I need to be on the board of governors,
but I need to be part of the U.S. Postal Service
because many of these stamps, while nice,
while cute, while beautiful, while collectible,
really serve no purpose.
So we need to pull the plug on whatever it cost
of making these stupid things.
I don't know how much it costs.
I haven't sat in on these meetings.
But I would save the postal service some money on stamps.
That's for sure.
So vote for me for a U.S. Postal Inspector or the Postmaster General.
Yeah, I don't want to be a postal.
I don't want to be just an inspector.
I want to be the Postmaster General or put on the board of governors.
So vote for me.
Can't vote for that.
But wish you could.
Okay, so I guess we are all about DeMar Hamlin now.
He is still in the hospital.
He is on a ventilator.
I guess he is not at 100% oxygen from the ventilator.
The brother said that he needed 100% oxygen from the ventilator when he first arrived.
Now he's improved to 50% and he's still in a coma,
but everyone is optimistic.
And he seems to be getting better.
They said they resuscitated him twice.
Wow.
At the stadium, they brought him back to life.
And then they did it again, you know, at the hospital or in transit, you know, in the ambulance.
So everyone is still trying to get over it.
As far as I know, we're playing NFL football this weekend.
Be prepared, as I said yesterday, for it to be all Damar Hamlin.
every fan in the stands will be carrying a number three.
And that's fine.
It's great.
They need to.
And I know his GoFundMe page is up at this time over $6 million for his charity, which is fantastic
because no one, everybody was amazed at how fast this thing grew.
Well, everybody wants to do something and they don't know what to do.
So we just donate to his charity on the GoFundMe page.
and that's our way of saying,
hey, we care, we love you,
we're praying for you,
we're hoping for you,
we want it all to turn out,
here's some money for you charity
for us to show it to you.
And that's wonderful, that's great.
But I guess we're just going to move on
from, remember the Franco Harris tribute
that the NFL had in Pittsburgh
at halftime,
the NFL network just broke away.
I don't get it.
If they had broken away,
at the right time, we would have been okay because they left it.
So the owner of the stadium, of the Pittsburgh Steelers,
were they were there at the stadium,
Axiore Stadium, and they were saying, you know,
we're honoring Franco Harris, its tribute is the anniversary of the
Immaculate Conception or whatever they called it.
Yeah, it was some sort of thing.
There wasn't a conception or wasn't a reception?
I don't know.
It was either one of those.
That's a, you know, one of those.
Anyway, so the ceremony, they said hello.
They were, you know, they talked and they had the family and they're, you know,
they're retiring his number.
And then they say, and we're just going to now play a video honoring Franco Harris.
And then the NFL network goes to a commercial.
Oh.
Okay, so we don't get to see that.
That was nice of them.
I appreciate doing that.
So I guess we're just, you know, we're just going to let that one go.
We're not going to care about that.
We're only care about DeMarer Hamlin now.
Well, I guess we also have the NFL officials lying to the fans of the Detroit Lions game.
We're just going to let that go.
Don't worry about it.
And I actually didn't think it was a lie.
But apparently an NFL referee made an announcement during their game against the Buffalo Bills and the Miami Dolphins,
where he cautioned that any fans throwing snowballs onto the field
could incur a 15-yard penalty for the home team.
Now, I guess they claim he was just bluffing,
but I thought that they were already telling fans
that they were going to penalize the home team
if they were yelling from the stands at the referees and everything.
They were going after them.
Maybe they were just trying to tell people not to do it
and that it was possible that they could penalize the team.
But anyway, they claimed they were just bluffing.
So apparently the NFL rulebook says, does not say anything about allowing officials to penalize a team for the actions of its fans.
Isn't that interesting?
So he lied to the fans.
From now on, if you're watching football in any city that it snows, which you shouldn't be, by the way, because there should be a dome over every stadium, go ahead and throw snowballs out of the field.
Hit pause on whatever you're listening.

Good news.
If you're in New York, you can now compost human remains.
Yay!
Democrat Governor Kathy Ochole signed legislation that legalizes human composting.
New York is now the sixth state of the nation that has legalized.
the practice.
It's, look, natural organic
reduction accelerates
the process of biological
decomposition in an
above-ground container,
naturally converting human remains
to soil.
The method will provide New Yorkers
with the option of choosing an environmentally
sustainable and cost-effective
alternative to burial
and or cremation.
The natural organic reduction
was legalized in Washington State in 2019.
I remember we were talking about that.
And we have other states as well.
The process takes 60 days
and works by placing a person's remain in a vessel
and filling it with a mix of wood chips,
alfalfa, and straw.
I mean, I always wanted to go to maybe a body camp,
you know, where they do different things, do you?
You know.
For testing.
The body farm is not a body camp.
It's called a body farm.
But, you know, then I know that there's going to be a number of religious entities
who are not going to be for the old body composting.
But it's already a bill.
You can complain all you want.
It's already done.
Go ahead and stick them.
in a box and let them sit out back for a while
until they become dirt and then we'll
use them for fertilizer. You can put them
in around the bushes out front, okay?
Now they claim
a lot of human bodies are not household waste.
Okay. Cannibalism is not far
behind.
People.
Soilet green is made out of people.
People.
you're just composing the bodies i'm not sure where you get the cannibalism with that but okay
all right fine no problem all right who died today who died today well i need a pointer
of the pointer sisters dead at 74 years of age she was the second oldest of four sisters
who were uh the pointer sisters were huge at one point i don't just

And I am so excited to hear what music, modest mouth put out, modest mouse, mouse,
modest mouse put out, you know, before the death of Jeremiah Green.
But Jeremiah Green dead at the age of 45 years.
age. Joe
Mercer Marley, Joe
Merza Marley, Bob Marley's
grandson, dead
at 31. I mean, he was
following the family footsteps,
taking the stage with
Ziggy Marley and the family
band and the melody makers,
and cause of death was not immediately
disclosed. Huh.
Wonder what it could have been.
So,
reggae musician, Joseph, Joe
Mercer Marley,
grandson of Bob Marley
and Stephen Marley's son.
I guess that's the way I'd have to work,
has died at the age of 31 years of age.
And the iconic, Vivian Westwood,
the British designer, and I mean iconic British designer
who helped popularize punk fashion,
died. She was 81 years of age,
and they didn't say,
what killed her, but they did say that
she died peacefully
surrounded by her family in
Clapham, South London.
And, I mean, she was
definitely a punk rock
icon. She was
born Vivian Isabel Swire
in Glasshop, England.
She was,
she had a store in London
called Sex.
And she ran it with
Malcolm McLaren.
And Malcolm was, you know,
manager of the
sex pistols and
I think he was in the
Bawa-wow-wow days. I mean, he was definitely
a punk guy and
her designs included, you know,
the bondage inspired pieces and
slogan T-shirts. And she was
still working to this day. But she
was a big-time punk rock icon
and very sad.
Vivian Westwood
dead at the age of 81.
So that's our musical
themed.
Who died today?
You know, rest in peace, of course.

Ooh, European chocolate for the crossing guard?
At these prices, could I find something for everyone at Winners?
Stop wondering, start gifting.

Now, I feel like this story, $65,000 is not enough.
I know. Maybe it's just me.
Because $65,000, you think, okay, well, that's, you know, that's a good,
a little chunk of money, but a French hospital has had to pay a man nearly $65,000, nearly,
not even $65,000, like $64 something.
After a series of alleged errors resulted in the unnecessary total removal of his man part,
I feel like $65,000 ain't enough.
It just seems like it's not worth it.
his uh his reparations were decided recently by an administrative court in france uh i have hatred towards
this doctor who did not listen to me uh yeah uh these uh i had all these procedures he's got cancer
and so he's claims the doctor played russian roulette with him he's a father of three he has cancer that forms
in the effeteal tissue that
lines most of the person's organs.
That's according to the Cleveland Clinic.
And an effort to remedy his condition,
the urologist at the hospital attempted
to excise as much of the tumor
as possible while
minimizing the damage to his manhood.
Uh-huh.
Unfortunately, through a series of
faulty breaches,
the cancer metastasized
throughout his entire man part.
And that caused the patient
such crazy pain,
that at one point he contemplated amputating his man part himself.
My wife stopped me.
I had a cutter.
I was preparing my thing in the garage.
Wow.
Over the years, the old man part tumor snowballed to a point that the doctor claimed that he had no choice,
but to remove the man's man part.
And it was either that or he'd most likely die from cancer.
And so he decided to literally take.
cut it off. And so, you know, okay. So he said he left the testicles, cut at the base.
Now, the man says I'm really devastated. Yeah, and really shameful. Now, I guess the patient, this guy has now adjusted because they have some sort of coping mechanism that can help.
but he said you can't replace the feeling of a man part with several sensors.
So he received just under $65,000 for wrongful breaches that led to the total removal of the man part.
I feel like that's not enough.
That's just me.
His attorney sued for a million euros, which still seems like it's not enough,
which the French court rejected, and so they're going to file an appeal.
that the grounds of psychological damage was not taken into account.
No kidding.
The good thing is the cancer is in remission.
So maybe the doc was right.
Maybe the doc was all I couldn't quite get it all.
So let's go ahead and get it all.
That does not sound fun.
That does not sound fun at all.
But, you know, I'm glad the cancer is in remission.
I'm not glad of.
and I don't know that the removal of the man part
had anything to do with the cancer being in remission.
But I'm still going to go on record as saying
that the removal of a man part on a man is, you know,
from a doctor that's not trying to, you know,
transgender you.
That's not enough.
It's just darn near not enough money.
I don't know what the number is,
but $65,000 isn't it.
