And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher.
We now have the largest study on cannabis.
And they studied its impact on brain function
that suggests the use of the substance
has a statistically significant effect on working memory.
Yeah, right.
Okay, so, I mean, how many people did they?
look at. I probably don't even know
how many people they looked at.
Well, the researchers,
they examined 103,
1,000, I can't even say the number.
What is it? I've got to get the smoke out a little bit.
Oh,
that's pretty good.
So they examined 1,03 individuals
ages 22 to 36
using brain
imaging technology.
and participants were categorized based on their lifetime usage.
Heavy users had used cannabis more than a thousand times.
I bet you I probably used more than a thousand times today.
Anyway, moderate users had used it between 10 and 999 times and non-users
had used it fewer than 10 times.
Who are those people?
So, results show that 63% of heavy lifetime cannabis users and 68% of recent users
experienced reduced brain activity.
Yeah, right.
When performing working memory tasks, you know, working memory allows individuals to
retain and manipulate short-term information, you know, memorizing directions.
That's why we have it on our phones, dude.
We don't need to memorize it okay.
solving math problems
I mean
everybody's got a calculator
we don't need to settle
anyway
they said that
heavy cannabis
use
negatively impacted brain regions
responsible for decision making
I mean
come on everybody knows
that you just don't want to do anything
you don't want to just want to sit here in front of the screen
memory, attention, and emotional processing.
So apparently, there's some kind of problem.
It affects you.
So if you're a heavy user,
which means that you've used cannabis more than a thousand times,
you may have some issues with decision making,
memory, attention, and emotional processing.
That's what the study said.
I mean, this studies took place in Colorado
at the University of Colorado School of Medicine
on the University of Colorado,
Anshut's, I guess it's Annshutz, A-N-S-C-H-U-T-Z medical campus.
And so they can't be wrong.
Can they?
welcome
I almost forgot what show this was
welcome
welcome to chewing the fat
so I know it's
the year of the snake
technically the year of the wood snake
the Chinese New Year starts today
but this is kind of
a disheartening news
on the new year
for China
Japan
has
defended their championship
and won
France to be the gold medalist at the 2025 Pastry World Cup.
So congratulations to Japan as they beat France in the pastry world cup.
Japan beats France.
Boy, you talk about a country that's slipping, man.
Holy cow.
And if I'm Japan, I'm asking for making sure my gold medal is in proper order.
I don't want it rusting in a week or two.
So Japan's winning creations drew on a number of traditional elements,
including some kind of orange.
I'm not going to pronounce that word.
Rice-based wifers and a recurring dragonfly theme.
So the question was put to 18 national teams
competing at the 2025 National Heritage themed Pastery World Cup
in Lion this past weekend.
And they had nine hours to come up with an answer.
Now we know that finding the balance between appealing to an international jury
and retaining a national identity is an essential part of the competition.
Duh.
So, you know, team Italy, who were the 18 countries that were competing?
Okay, the selected countries were chosen under the four continental selections.
Africa, America, Asia, and Europe.
so you had Egypt
Meritus, Meritus, Meritus,
yeah, Maritas, Meritus, yeah, whatever it is.
You know, where the monkeys are.
Morocco, oh, it's just a joke.
Stop it.
It's just a joke.
Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Paraguay.
Then Asia, you get China, Japan, Malaysia,
Philippines, Singapore, South Korea.
Then we had Belgium, France, Italy, and the United Kingdom.
Japan kicked their butt.
Number one. France came in second, and I'm guessing since Italy was mentioned in the original story, they probably came in third. But it doesn't say exactly who, you know, how they rounded out. Rounded out the top. Who meddled? Just says Japan got the gold. And congratulations to Japan for getting the gold in the pastry World Cup.
You know, speaking of Japan, did you see where Toyota has?
has developed what they called a woven city.
It's a living laboratory that they've constructed
near Mount Fuji in the country of Japan.
Designed to test and develop driverless cars,
smartphones, and robotics.
They're going to welcome the first 100 residents,
which are primarily Toyota employees and their families
in the fall of this year.
And the city aims to expand to about 2,000 residents over time.
Woven City features solar-powered houses equipped with AI for health monitoring,
daily life assistance, robotics, three types of streets designated for pedestrians.
I know it's pedestrians.
Fast traffic and slow vehicles.
The project seeks to foster innovation within a controlled real-life environment,
potentially driving significant changes in urban living and technology integration.
Oh, okay.
might as long as I've got a, if it gives me a Dubot, I'm moving in. Where do I? I'll move, I'll bring
the U-Haul, I'm moving in. Let's go. But it doesn't say that. It just talks about they're going to be
checking on your health and you're going to have AI assisting you with you be able to walk in the
home and say, you know, hey, turn on the lights. I want it warmer. I want it cooler. Whatever. You
can do that now. I mean, okay. Plus, this is like a, this is like a company town. All right. I mean,
his Toyota, they're putting their employees there.
It's just like you work for us. Yeah, you're living in Woven City.
And you can shop at the stores with the Toyota money.
That's what's going to happen.
It's going to be just a company town.
That definitely is coming to a city near you soon.
I mean, I don't know anybody wants to talk about it, but Elon's doing that down at
spaceport in Texas. He wants to take over the whole city.
And he'll have, you know, he'll, I'm sure.
They'll have stores and everything involved right there.
That absolutely is coming to a city near you very, very soon.
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.
So we're finding fossils all the time on this planet, and some of them are fascinating.
like they recently found an ancient crocodile that they say was a bipedal predator,
which means it was in the South Korea's Jinju formation,
indicate that these creatures measuring approximately 13 feet in length,
moved on two legs similar to an ostrich or a T-Rex.
Oh.
So the, you know, this is my.
what the crocodile evolution has now become.
They're saying that this, you know,
they could possibly prey on early dinosaurs.
Additionally, in North Carolina,
fossils of Cairnifex Carolinus,
dubbed the Carolina Butcher,
reveal a nine-foot-long bipedal crocodile
ancestor that dominated the pre-dinosaur world.
Okay.
So now we know that prehistoric crocodiles,
We're out wandering around on two legs,
devouring things.
That makes you feel better about it.
When you see them,
when you see the crocs,
you go to Gatorland,
you see the alligators,
see the crocodiles.
We already told you on a show
how to tell the difference
between an alligator and a crocodile,
right?
The alligator will say,
uh,
see you later,
and the crocodile will say after a while.
Ha,
ha, ha, ha, ha.
we've covered that already on this program.
But we're finding fossils all the time.
Yet we have not found this.
And this man, Peter Benicki,
found a fossil at Stevens Clint,
UNESCO listed coastal cliff
off the country of east of Denmark.
Okay?
So he's out searching around.
He is a self-described fossil geek.
And he said he came across an unusual-looking fragment,
which turned out to be pieces of a sea lily,
which is an underwater species related to starfish and sea urchins in a piece of chalk.
Well, he said, hey, these are kind of interesting.
So he took the fragments to be examined at the Museum of East Zealand.
And I love the Museum of East Zealand,
which confirmed that Peter had found fossilized vomit.
dating back to the dinosaurs.
So they're saying that I know.
He's underwater, though.
He's not.
You can't do that underwater.
Sorry.
And I don't think he wanted to smoke the fossilized vomit.
But I guess you could.
So I guess this vomit dated to the end of the Cretaceous period, 66 million years ago,
when dinosaurs, including T-Rexes and Triceratops existed.
So the paleontologist and the curator at the museum told the BBC that it was truly an unusual find.
Oh, thank you, Mr. Paleontologist.
And it tells us something about who was eating who, 66 million years ago.
During that period, fish and sharks would eat sea lilies, which are hard to digest,
meaning they would then regurgitate all the chalk bits.
And my man, Peter,
was lucky enough to find a pile of puke, I mean vomit, fossilized vomit from the sea urchin.
That's wonderful.
So we find stuff all the time.
We're finding stuff all the time.
That man, it makes me want to go be a fossil geek and hope to find some kind of fossilized
vomit.
And speaking of fossilized vomit, I think it's official now that, um, do you know, um, do you.
Jim Acosta is out at CNN.
He said goodbye on the air yesterday.
We talked about him.
It was reported that he was going to be, that he was out.
First, it was reported that they offered him a new gig.
They were going to take him away from his 10 a.m. morning slot
and make him move from Washington, D.C. to L.A.
get him as far away from Donald Trump as possible.
And then they said, yeah, then he's going to quit,
which is probably what they wanted in the first place.
And then he was back on the air yesterday.
as I was recording this very show, Chewing the Fat,
on the 28th of January,
because today is the 29th of January,
2025.
Wow, the 29th.
Hey, that's my birthday.
Anyway, yesterday, I look up on the screen,
and he's on his stupid face,
his fossilized vomit face is right there on the screen.
I'm like, he's doing a show.
I thought he was out.
I thought it was over.
And then yesterday, he, you know,
did his little close-out segment
that he was saying goodbye after 8.
18 years at CNN.
And he's going to move on to something else.
He doesn't know what yet.
Or he's going to tell us about it later,
which means he doesn't know what yet.
And, you know, I'm sure we're going to have the fossilized vomit.
I'm sorry.
He's not that old.
It was just a joke.
Jim Acosta.
Tiring.
Sick of him.
That's what happens to people with a hang around fossilized vomit too much.
We'll probably have the Jim Acosta podcast.
You know,
Acosta Highway or
Acosta on the news
or inside the beltway
with Jim Acosta.
You know, so
it'll be nothing but, or this
could be
fossilized in D.C.
Jim Acosta.
All right, let's go to the break room.
I need something cold to drink
desperately.
So what would you do?
There's this kid
who has,
a Paul Skeen's baseball card.
Okay.
And don't worry,
I'm not really sure who he is either,
but he played for the Pittsburgh Pirates.
And he had the,
he has an original
Paul Skeen's
debut patch card.
Okay.
So, and it's Paul Schen's MLB debut,
sign.
Kind of cool.
And I don't know the exact worth.
of the Paul Skeen's original debut
card.
I'm sorry, debut patch card.
But the Pittsburgh Pirates
offered Paul
two Pirates season tickets
behind home plate for the next 30 years.
A meet and greet with Paul Skeens.
Skeens?
Yeah, I think that's all he pronounced his last name.
Two Paul Skeen signed jerseys.
A Pirates game with Livy Dunn,
inner suite.
and more.
And the kid is like,
no, no thanks.
I'm gonna put up for auction.
I'm gonna put up for auction.
Oh, okay.
If you want it,
it'll be up for auction in March.
You could bid out of there.
Right?
I mean, it doesn't say
how much they think they're gonna get for this,
at least in this story,
but they talk about how
the most valuable card of Paul Schenings
is currently the 20,
2020, Bowman Draft Chrome Superfactor, hashtag BDC-14 Paul Skeens 1, which is worth approximately $10,99.99.
Topps believes that the Skeens card could be ultimately worth six figures depending on how his career progresses.
Wow.
Okay.
So back in 2024.
They, I guess, hypothesized that this card will be worth, I don't know, maybe 150,000 at this lowest point at auction, maybe more.
So would you tell the pirates to take a hike and let's go for the cash that you're going to get at auction?
Because you never know.
You might end up with, you know, 5,000.
And if you had to take in all the stuff that the pirates were going to give you, it would be worth more than that.
But you'd be stuck having to watch the pirates,
and that's kind of torture in and of itself.
So take the money.
Take the money and run.
I love how the kid just said,
eh, nice try.
But I'm putting it up for auction.
Be sure to follow me on my social media account
at Jeffrey JFR on X.

Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher is the YouTube page.
The email address is Chewing the Fat.
fat at the blaze.com. I'm having,
Blake, I've smoked too much pot. I'm having blanking
completely on all these
all these names. And you can also
order a cameo from me at
Jeffrey JFR on Cameo. That's
not free. I know, but
it's worth every darn penny
at Jeffey JFR on
cameo. Thank you
to all of you that email chewing the fat
at the blaze.com. I do see them.
I may not respond to them all, but I do see them.
Thank you, and I appreciate it very much.
A reminder, if you
would like to be a participant in
What's the Lie? The game
show that I play on
Fridays here on Chewing the Fat.
Email me chewing the fat at the blaze
dot com and say, hey,
like to be on What's the Lie?
And I will contact you
and we'll try to set that up
and make it happen.
Speaking of X, I see where they are now
going to partner with
Visa over
over real-time payment system
on the social media platform. It's going to
start going to effect later this year.
You're going to be able to transfer money
from Visa debit cards or
bank accounts to
X money accounts
hosted on the platform.
So I hope that when I transfer
it to the X money account, then
it turns into like Elon dollars
or something that I could spend
at the Elon store
there on X.
You can count on that, man.
That's awesome. But it is a, you know,
good and for sure Elon will just you know I'm charging you for your blue check we just take it out
of your account go ahead sign up for it take it out of your account make sure you have enough in
your in your ex account and then when you want to uh when you want to upgrade would you want
to think we can send your payments there if we owe you money that kind of thing uh you know if
you're making any money off of your ex account um some people are and they uh they just put the money there
and then you can just transfer it and be all good to go.
So that's kind of like it'll probably turn into,
who started PayPal again?
What was that?
What was that guy's name?
Who started PayPal?
What was his name?
Shoot, I can't remember who the heck started PayPal?
No, I'll lose because I've smoked too much pot.
But I think, I think it was a guy named Elan Ilo,
Iloen,
Eloan,
Milan Moiske,
something like that.
Yeah, I believe that's what it was.
Eloan Moosk.
Thank you.
Thank you.
So your ex account
will be, I'm sure,
well, I'm sure it's not
anything like PayPal was
because he sold that a long time ago,
so I'm sure it's nothing like that.
How dare me think that?
So the Louvre,
in France is, I don't know, the world's most visited museum.
Last year, it received 8.7 million visitors,
more than 75% being foreigners, mostly from the United States,
China and neighboring countries, Italy, the UK, Germany, and Spain.
But it's turned into a dump.
And it's got a lot of water damage.
And it's, you know, looking a little rough.
And it has some climate control issues.
it only houses some of the most expensive artworks in the world.
That's all.
And so now Italy is saying, hey, you know, your place is falling apart.
Why don't we just take the Mona Lisa, give it back to us, and temporarily, of course, and we'll just take it back.
And France is like, no, we're going to remodel the Mona Lisa.
We're on it.
We already started.
well we're starting today we're already on it but we're going to start today so they're going to
create this new project which we started today we're on it right now the the loo new renaissance
will include a wide new entrance near the river to be opened by 2031 it's uh if there's going to be
a room where Leonardo da Vinci's masterpieces are displayed and the amount budgeted for the project
well we haven't really talked about that but it was estimated to reach i don't know 800 million
euros something like that but uh we're also uh going to have uh budget i did not know that uh the
the the loove itself is financed by the state of course and i think they're saying like
half of it is financed by the state and then uh they have uh they have
ticket sales that provides money for upkeep,
and they also have earnings from restaurants and shops and special events,
that kind of thing.
But they also now are going to have this new area that's going to be funded by licensing
money from Abu Dhabi branch of the Louvre.
I don't know if it's still, I don't know if there's there.
now. I don't know if it's going to be there by 2031. I don't know if it's, they started construction
on this as well, but I didn't know that there was a Lou Abu Dhabi branch. So, good news for
Italy. Don't worry about the Mona Lisa. She'll be fine. And we'll be there. And if somebody
throws some soup on it or it gets too hot or
too cold. We're on it.
So you don't have to worry about
temporarily taking her back.
And in fact, what we might do
is ship her to the
Abu Dhabi branch of the
Louvre, you know, just
for a little while.
You know, because they paid for the licensing
to be an agreement. So, you know,
it'll be there for a while
until we're done with fixing
up our dump here.
It's hockey season, and you can
get anything you need delivered with Uber.
EADs. Well, almost, almost anything. So no, you can't get a nice rank on Uber Eats. But ice tea,

The J-Jew air crash in South Korea.
Maybe you don't.
I don't know that I mentioned it here.
Sometimes I mention the plane crashes around the world.
Sometimes I don't.
But this particular plane crash, the J-Jiu air crash in South Korea,
has now confirmed traces of bird strikes in the plane's engines,
but the officials still haven't determined that that's the cause of the accident.
Okay, well, the accident killed all but two.
people just horrible or 181 people on board the preliminary accident report released by south
korea's aviation and railway accident investigation board love them a man am i a fan of south
korea's aviation and railway accident investigation board uh said that feathers and bird blood stains
were found in both engines and we know that now we know that they were uh they belonged to a migratory
duck both sides so it was you know just a bunch of ducks flying along right
right right right now is it our fault is you know to the pilots say i mean do we have like a duck
horn something get out of the way duck a something that you that you that you put on to let the
ducks know hey get out of it move quack quack quack okay
But no.
Now, so we've, hopefully we'll find out more when we find out, you know,
the information on the two black boxes from the flight data recorder and the cockpit voice recorder.
Oh, wait.
They stopped recording about four minutes before the crash.
How does that happen?
How in the world does that happen?
I'm sorry.
We put these black boxes in planes so that we get the information.
And then it's like, yeah, it stopped working.
You know, like four minutes before the crash.
It just shut down.
So we don't know.
I was playing it on the ducks and we're good.
Oh, okay.
I watched the new overture plane that can fly supersonic,
break the sound barrier yesterday out in the Mojave Desert.
And it wasn't just the way.
They took off from the Mojave Air and Space Port.
And broke Mach 1, it flew.
Credible.
Credible.
And I watched it.
It's a two-hour event.
Believe me, I did not sit through the entire two hours.
I made it.
I fast-forwarded through their YouTube at Boom Technologies.
And I sat through their YouTube and watched, you know,
watched the announcers.
They talked us through it.
And they were the Boom Technology Incorporated, Boom Supersonic.
It was their plane named Overture.
And they've been testing their boom XB1 baby boom,
and they broke the sound barrier.
I mean, they don't know when it's going to be available,
overture, but it already has 130 orders,
including from American Airlines and United Airlines.
I would hope that the NFL, the National Football League,
would invest money in this because they're talking about,
you know, opening up divisions and teams playing in Europe.
And if you're going to bring,
if you're going to have divisions in Europe, that's fine.
But if you're going to bring, you know,
those will be separate teams.
And I'm not quite sure how that all worked out.
They haven't called me to sit in on any of the meetings.
So I don't have much information for you on that.
I'm willing to,
Raj, email me, join the fat of the blaze.com.
You can DM me on X at Jeffrey JFR.
I'll get right back to you.
And we'll get together
and I'm happy to sit down and assist
on, you know, a number of different things.
Sure, I've called for your job in the past.
I was just joshing.
We'll sit out and, you know,
I'll be happy to do it on a contingency basis.
Just sit down and come up with a few things.
Anyway, if they're going to do that,
they should be investing in this
so that they can fly across the ocean
in a lot less time.
You'll fly from one.
end of the country to the other end of the country
and then across the ocean
fast, you know, I don't know,
supersonic wise.
And that would hopefully
alleviate some of the
travel worries that this
would bring.
You know, just a thought, Raj.
Just a thought from me to you.
Because I know things are struggling
over there at the NFL.
The game
Sunday with the commanders and the Eagles
only 44.2 million people watched
what a losing enterprise the NFL is.
I mean, they were pissed.
Well, I don't know that they were pissed,
but they were bummed because it makes it the least watched
NFL conference title game
since the Bills and Chiefs on CBS in 2021.
So they were,
and it makes it the least watched NFC title game
since 2020.
So, you know, they were really worried, concerned
because they only had 44.2 million people watching.
Now, they said, Nielsen said,
at the time that this game got underway,
58% of all U.S. TVs
were in use
watching the commanders and the Eagles,
or at least that they had the network on.
Incredible.
And that's the beginning while it was, you know, taking place
because after a while, you knew Philadelphia was going to win.
Washington didn't quite have it.
It really stunk.
But the A.F.
It didn't stink.
I mean, go Eagles, go birds.
I got it.
I got it.
I haven't forbid.
I voted, I was cheering silently in my house for Washington to win that game
and have Jaydon Daniels be the first rookie quarterback in the Super Bowl.
because I wanted him to go ahead and win the Super Bowl
and then just retire.
Rookie year.
What do you want?
I had the Heisman trophy.
It should have been the first round draft pick,
but I was number two.
I took a team to the Super Bowl and won it.
I'm done.
I don't have anything else to prove.
We'll see you later.
I'm going to sit behind this TV desk for the next 50 years
and earn a bunch of money and not kill my body.
Hi, I'm Jaydon Daniel.
But that's not going to happen.
Now the AFC Championship game,
between the Bills and the Chiefs,
and that went up a little bit,
to 57.7 million people watching that game.
So excluding Super Bowls,
the Bills and the Chiefs game
ranks as the second most watched NFL game ever
for as long as they've been keeping records,
excluding the Super Bowls,
because the Super Bowls get huge numbers.
The game, there was one game,
in 2009.
Oh, yeah.
The championship game
between the Minnesota Vikings
and the New Orleans Saints.
That game averaged
57.9 million viewers
because that was New Orleans
against Minnesota,
Brett Favre ending in overtime.
Right, that's right.
And they went on to beat
the Colts in the Super Bowl.
And we'll see this year
the Super Bowl is in New Orleans
February 9th.
And, you know,
I'm looking forward to
it everybody says i don't want to watch it you're going to watch it we're going to watch it we're
going to watch it go oh no show taylor again and they're going to watch it and kendrick lamar is the
half-time show and i think uh what's her what's the what's her name zah zah right is that
i think that's who it is it's going to be with kendrick there at the halftime performance and then
we'll see last year was 123 million uh watched the super bowl they may not get that this
with Kansas City looking down the barrel
of three consecutive Super Bowl wins.
So if you don't want that, you're going to tune in
and, you know, if you're a New England Patriots fan
who believe that the New England Patriots
are the best team ever with their, I don't know,
six Super Bowls in, I don't know how many years.
And then now Kansas City comes along
and they're fighting for supremacy of the NFL.
with all these Super Bowls.
But if they win three in a row,
holy cow, man, that puts Patrick Mahomes
definitely in talks of being better than Tom Brady.
And if you're a New England fan,
you can't have that.
That will not be allowed.
That will not be allowed.
Not in my city.
Boarding for flight 246 to Toronto is delayed 50 minutes.

All right, before we get into some of the future stuff going on in medicine and health,
I still have a question about the South Korea airline crash.
So they found duck wings and guts blood in the engines.
So did the ducks hit the plane or did the plane hit the ducks?
I don't know how that works.
Does the plane hit the ducks or do the ducks hit the plane?
I guess the ducks hit the plane is that's the answer.
So MIT has created these robot bees
That can now hover for over a thousand seconds. There are a hundred times longer than before
Thanks to the nature-inspired design. New robot bees
Can hover for 17 minutes breaking pollination records
Holy cow the design splits the robot into two segments each with flapping wings powered by artificial
muscles made of elastometer layers and carbon nanotubes.
Duh, I could have told them that.
I don't know what their problem is.
I could have said, why don't you guys just use carbon nanotubes and
estrotometer layers?
You know, duh, took them all this long.
The setup boost stability, lift, efficiency, while minimizing strain.
Again, duh, that's why I would have told them to use the estobiner layers and
carbon nanotubes. Duh.
So currently the robot hovers for 17
minutes and then it
performs precise maneuvers
like spelling MIT.
Oh, isn't that cute?
They just, let's spell our initials.
Yes, our name.
Future goals include extending flight times to over
10,000 seconds, improving landing accuracy
and adding sensors for
full autonomy. Now, I,
you know, if we need it to collect
stuff so that it brings it back
and brings the pollen back,
and then turns it into honey.
That's what bees do.
If we're just using,
we're just having bee bots fly around.
I don't,
I'm not a fan.
I'm not a fan of bee bots that I can guarantee you
that the bees out looking for a little bee business
are going to be pissed
when they come up on the bee bot
and they're going to realize,
what am I doing?
I mean, holy cow.
I mean, maybe that's what we're doing.
Maybe there, if we can find a way
to have the bee bot
do business with the real bees, right?
And then they make more bees because of the MIT B-B-Bot.
Let's get to it.
Let's make sure that the,
what is it again that I was going to tell them to do?
Oh, yeah, the elastometer layers and the carbon nanotubes
can take care of a little bee bitniz.
And there'll be a little bit of buzzing around.
Yeah.
Just let me feel that stangering.
In the UK, all right, stop.
All right.
So in the UK, the National Health Service, love them,
is set to conduct a trial of a brain computer interface
that uses ultrasound to modulate brain activity
aiming to improve mood in patients.
I hope all their patients are women.
Anyway, developed by just a dub joke, just stop.
Developed by Forest NeuroTech,
the implant is positioned beneath the skull
and target specific neuron clusters.
The trial will involve approximately 30 patients
and can pave the way for treatment,
treating conditions like depression, addition, OCD, epilepsy.
I mean, that's what Elon's doing.
That's what Neurrelink is doing.
They're just trying to catch up to Elon at Neurrelink.
And while Elon talked about treating conditions
like depression, addiction, and OCD and epilepsy,
and it's working.
That one chip that he put in,
only a bunch of the
a bunch of the connections broke off
so it only worked minimally
but it worked and then they put the next one in
and all the electrodes stayed on
and it's been working
we haven't heard an update
I haven't heard a latest update from NeuroLink
I mean what's Elon doing
he's got he's got SpaceX
he's got Tesla he's got Doge
going on to the government he's been running around the country
glad-handed people for
Trump, I mean, let's go.
They still got neural link.
Don't forget about your baby
Neurrelink, Elon. Let's go.
But he does. He better. He's Elon
Musk. Anyway, so they're trying to
catch up to him. But I don't think
that, I don't
think that Elon is working on how to
improve the mood in women. And
so the UK is
on top of it for that.
So,
I could be a fan. I could be a fan.
All right, so if you don't want to put the
chip in, to feel
better. I just saw an article that said jumping jacks are a way to prove what kind of shape you're in
and get you in good shape. Okay. So if you could do you got to do jumping jacks in 60 seconds.
All right. So think of 60 seconds is a long time. I don't know if you know this. It's a minute.
That's the way time works. I know. I know. And so, you know, they want you to start out slow.
but you've got to try to do as many jumping jacks as you can in a minute.
All right.
So a beginner, you should be able to do 30 to 40 jumping jacks in a minute.
Intermediate?
You should be able to shoot for 50 to 60 jumping jacks per minute.
Advanced.
If you're a great shape, like most of us,
on listening to the show,
you should be able to go for 70 plus jumping jacks
in 60 seconds.
So I guarantee you
there was a time in my life
when I could have done that.
I'm still a fat guy, but I was athletic.
I was athletically overweight.
That's a fact.
But I'm just saying,
there was a time when I was able to do that.
I am not doing jumping jacks anymore
I don't want to do jumping jacks
I don't want to do it
my knee doesn't want me to do them
my shoulder doesn't want me to do them
so you go ahead and
jack jump all you want
over there
wait it's called jumping jacks Jeff
I know I know but
if you're doing it now
you do it chewing the fat jack jump
and you do it all to your own
but just know that if you're doing 30 to 40
you need to pick up the pace a little bit
and if you're doing 50 to 60
you're almost there just work a little bit harder
and get up to plus 70
and then you're in
great shape
all right let's get out of here
I need to just do a joke of the day
this joke of the day
is from John
who emailed me at chewing the fat
at the blaze.com
it's just mean
it's just mean
I don't even want to do it really
because it's just so darn mean
but I'm doing it because I want to share it with you
John worked hard.
I don't know if it's his joke.
If it is, I understand the jokes that John is presenting to the show.
I'm so excited for this one.
But why did the little boy drop his ice cream cone?
I don't know, Jeff.
Why did the little boy drop his ice cream?
Cone.
Cone.
Because he was hit by a bus.
Are you stupid?
It's just, I'm not laughing at the joke because that would just, oh, that would just be wrong.
