Blaze Radio Network.
And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher.
My answer is no.
The question, has anyone received their government-approved COVID test yet?
I ordered the first day because our tax dollars paid for it and still haven't received them.
This was a question that I was tagged in from at which way E.J.
underscore 513.
It's got to be a better Twitter handle than that.
I mean, I realize you're naming yourself maskless meanderer,
but at which way E.J. underscore 513.
Got to be a better hand.
Anyway, the question is, no, I haven't,
and I want to know why.
Now, this person, at which way E.J. underscore 513,
said that they ordered the first day.
Now, I ordered their original announced
first day, but they opened the site early, and some people ordered then as well.
Now, I've seen pictures online from people who claim to have received it and taken pictures,
and we're all supposed to be mad and upset that they're made in China, which I don't
necessarily disagree with, but I have not received mine.
And I would like to know why, because I ordered mine early the first day.
the announced first day of that website opening.
And I want to know where my tests are.
It's a good question.
And I thought the USPS was supposed to be on top of it.
And apparently they need me now more than ever to run that joint.
Just saying.
Welcome.
Welcome to chewing the fat.
Well, congratulations to Afghanistan.
I know.
You don't really congratulate Afghanistan.
for much anymore, but their opium production has skyrocketed.
So it's going to provide the Taliban government a pretty good source of revenue.
They're looking at between $1.8 and $2.7 billion this year.
So congratulations to Afghanistan, and you're welcome for getting out of there helping you get that production back online because that's good news.
That is good news.
Now, I guess that's 9 to 14% of Afghanistan's gross domestic product.
What else comes out of Afghanistan?
I'd like to know.
According to that, that means there's, what, 86% of other stuff that comes out of Afghanistan?
What is it?
I'd like to know.
I mean, is it a jacket?
Are they making clothes?
I don't know.
Honestly, I don't know.
I just want to know.
I thought that that was what Afghanistan did.
Opium production.
That's what they did.
The drug lords in Afghanistan rule from the growing to the shipping to the exporting,
shipping in country and then exporting out of country.
That's what they do.
And they do it pretty good.
And they do it pretty good.
I mean, it's a multi-billion dollar industry for that country.
And apparently, we're still sending.
them money. Yeah. Now, they claim that they have suspended all contact with the Afghan government
and terminated, suspended, or paused, all on-budget assistance. Oh, okay. Really? Well, yeah, but you know what?
Some, that was all what they're calling on-budget assistance. So apparently there's a thing called
off-budget assistance,
which we are giving them money.
And we announced that we're giving them
$308 million in humanitarian aid.
And we've announced that.
Oh, that's to, you know,
obviously combat poverty and hunger
that runs rampant.
I don't disagree.
I hope that we are doing something
that actually reaches the people.
I doubt it.
Whether it be on-budget or off-budget.
Ugh.
I mean, that's why I said originally,
when we went into Afghanistan,
how many, you know, hundred years ago,
that what we needed to do
was create another crop
for these farmers to grow
so that they weren't dependent
on the opium.
We haven't done that, and we never did.
Now, originally my plan was
is that they should, you know,
raise bees.
Really, that should have been what they've done.
I mean, we're talking about
bees shortages all over the world.
Afghanistan could be the honey
leader and just raise bees and honey.
I mean, and they should have done that years ago.
Did they listen to me?
No.
Should they have listened to me?
The answer is yes.
Still, though, congratulations to the Taliban government for getting that opium
production back up and running and getting that to almost $3 billion,
according to the latest report.
However, Afghanistan's Taliban government did not make the war.
the world's most admired companies list.
Now I know,
well, that's a country, Jeff.
Okay, I got it.
But I see where Fortune
has their most admired companies list,
which is wonderful.
Now, they pull some 3,700 corporate executives,
directors, and analysts,
and they say,
who's your favorite company?
Your favorite company?
please tell us who you love.
Well, Apple, for the 15th straight year, number one.
And then, you know, they've, of course, added the, thanks to the global pandemic, Pfizer has hit the list at number four.
But, and really the COVID test, the drug development equipment company, the Donaheher, they only made it to 37.
So they need to pick up the pace a little bit.
But the top 10 most admired companies, thanks to fortune.
You're looking at J.P. Morgan Chase.
Number 10.
Number nine, Netflix.
Number eight, Starbucks.
Number seven, alphabet.
Number six, Berkshire Hathaway.
Number five, Walt Disney.
Number four, as I already stated, of Pfizer.
Number three, I bet you can guess the top three.
If you already know Apple's number one, what's number two?
Amazon.
And number three, Microsoft.
So congratulations to the top 10 most admired corporations,
thanks to the polling of 3,700 corporate executives, director, and analysts.
Congratulations to those companies.
Some would say that those companies are,
Part of that whole great reset kind of thing, but that just be silly.
So never mind.
Just congratulations to them.
And I don't think CNN made that fortune list either.
I see where Jeff Zucker, I just resigned yesterday.
Have a nice day.
Taking care of a little bit too much of business at the old CNN headquarters.
Now, it's come out that he was taking care of a little business with his assistant,
the marketing officer, Alison Golas.
And they said, look, the relationship,
we've been together for a long time.
And she's a senior colleague.
And during the pandemic, you know, you're locked up.
You can't go any place.
What are you going to do?
Hey, Allison, come here.
Hey, Allison, you want to come in here for a second?
I got a little business to discuss.
And so he was supposed to disclose the relationship
under, you know, company rules,
and he failed to do that.
So they kicked him to the curb.
Well, I mean, he resigned.
Have a nice day.
Apparently, she gets to stay.
Under the new Me Too world rules, she gets to stay.
Wasn't she supposed to disclose the relationship as well?
Oh, he was her boss.
She was the power.
She goes, the power dynamic.
Oh, okay.
All right.
Whatever.
That's fine.
So according to Zucker, he's led the company since 2013.
Boy, what a great job he's done.
And the romance was revealed during an investigation into the former CNN host, Chris Cuomo.
Now, we're finding out more about that that Chris Cuomo, once they fired him, he said,
I'm taking you all down.
Unless he was, he was trying to get like, I don't know, a few million dollars, 18 million bucks from CNN.
And CNN didn't want to pay him, the 18 million.
And so, all right, you know, the thing about playing chicken is knowing when the other guy is going to flinch.
And so maybe Zucker said, I'm not paying you the $18 million.
Go ahead.
And the attorneys were like, ooh, Jeff, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
We're not going to pay him the $18 million.
And you are going to say that you had your affair and we are getting out of here.
Okay.
And everybody's happy.
Have a nice day.
Okay.
all right no problem now I know they've got they've had a few how should we put it
dirt bags I don't know the whole love story between Zuck and Allison but I
to be fair this is you know while it's a you know it's CNN and it's Jeff Zucker
this is what you get I got yeah I got it this is what you get but it wasn't it wasn't
like the other dirt bag cases that are going on throughout CNN, right?
So this was just a consensual relationship, according to Zuck.
And, you know, they were, you know, it was during the pandemic.
I think the relationship's been going on for quite a while now, more than the pandemic.
The pandemic was just an excuse.
But I know that Zuck's been divorced since 2018, and I heard some stories and read some stories
and read some stories about her,
and they were living in the same building.
And so I'm sure that there's, you know,
for a number of years,
I'm sure Allison and Zuck are just, you know,
working together.
Look, during the day, what are you going to do?
You get, it's a busy day, it's a long day.
He was putting in long hours at the office.
And so, you know, you get, you get tired.
And you got a lot of work filled.
to do for the day. You need a little pick me up. Allison, can you come in here for a second, please?
I understand, Jeff. I'm with you. I got it. But them's the rules, baby. Them's the rules.
All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink desperately. Oh, my gosh,
it's so cold here in Texas now. Still doesn't change the goodness.
of a nice cold, refreshing beverage.
Anyway, so it's really cold here in Texas.
I mean, 100 million people across 25 states from New Mexico to Vermont are under winter storm alerts through tomorrow.
For those of you listening live, today is Thursday the 3rd of February 2022.
I guess this storm is named Landon.
Okay, I gotcha.
So 6,000 flights have been canceled already.
And I mean, there's going to be more than that.
Southwest Airlines called a snow day for St. Louis and Dallas on Thursday.
I mean, they're just shut down.
Nope, we're not open.
Have a nice day.
Oh, you had flights?
Tough.
And I know they're going to do their best at these airports.
Are they?
But for those of you that were wondering, you know, I was filling in for Pat this week
because he was on vacation down in.
Florida. And I said yesterday on the morning show, I doubt that Mr. Gray is going to be able to get out of Florida and get back here in time to do a show on Monday. So I could be sitting in on Monday. But we decided I was going to stay at the studios yesterday last night and do the show this morning. And if those of you are listening to this and have, you know, do watch and or listen to Pat's show, you know, it was a replay this morning because we decided, you know what, I'm just going to, we'll just play.
We'll do the best of.
We'll see what happens for Friday, because Friday's probably going to be,
tomorrow's probably going to be worse than today.
But I didn't want to get stuck at the studios for three or four days.
I know.
I know.
Don't you care about your job, fat man?
I do.
I do care about my job.
But I feel like had I stayed there last night and then did the morning show and then recorded
this show there.
I would not have been able to get out.
And it's getting worse here as I speak.
It's gotten colder and snowing.
The roads are ice.
It rained all afternoon yesterday into the evening.
So now all that rain has turned into ice.
And I know that they were out on the roads.
They had the express lanes shut down yesterday.
Yesterday morning when I went to work, the express lanes were shut down.
So driving home last night because Wednesday is a late night for me.
I don't break up my schedule for you.
But I'm usually at the studios late on Wednesday.
And, you know, so I'm driving.
I'm driving when I was going into work at 4 a.m. Tuesday, right? Tuesday into Wednesday,
Wednesday morning. The express lanes were already closed. So I'm on my way home at, I think it was like 7 or 8 o'clock last night.
You know, the express lanes are all closed. So the regular road lanes are backed up. I mean, what kind of,
I don't even get me started on who's running this joint, but it's just agonizing. So,
you know, they shut up down early, and that's what happens here in Texas.
Oh, there's going to be snow and ice.
Shut it down.
You just stay home.
Oh, okay.
No problem.
And we better not lose power.
Okay?
I know last year's winter storm that caused, you know, the electrical outages, and, I mean,
hundreds of people lost their lives.
And so I know that it's not supposed to be as cold for as long this storm.
But Abbott has pretty much hung his hat on, oh, you know,
you're not going to lose power, no problem.
Now, he started to backtrack that yesterday.
Well, no one can guarantee there won't be any power outages during the storm.
Wait, what?
You said that there weren't going to be any power outages at all.
Well, if it's ice and the stormlines come down and, you know, one thing leads to another.
Uh-huh.
But that's not what you said, Governor Abbott.
And look, I'm with you.
I know that we can't, you know, can't carry it.
guarantee that no one is going to lose power. I got you. We lose power. You know, places lose power
every day. However, some of the work that they claimed to have done to the power grid really
wasn't enough. And their promises fall on deaf ears as far as I'm concerned. And I mean,
at least the, I didn't realize that they were here in Texas, but riot blockchain, one of the,
biggest Bitcoin miners is here in Texas.
And they have shut down to conserve electricity ahead of the storm.
Gosh, darn it.
Good for them.
Thank you, Texas.
Riot blockchain.
And if that keeps the power on at my house,
thank you.
So we'll see how it goes.
We'll be probably back on in the studios on Monday, I'm guessing.
Because I look out my way.
window right now as I'm recording this and I'm planning on being right here. Okay. Got plenty of food,
got plenty of drink. I'm warm. I'm staying right here. So I hopefully you are too. No matter
where you're listening to this show, wherever you're a subscriber to this show at, I hope that you are
warm and safe. That's what I want for everyone. That's all I really want for you. Yes, you. I'm looking
right of you. That's all I want for you
is to be warm and safe.
I think that's the new
chewing the fat.
That's my slogan for chewing the fat.
Warm and safe.
Okay, I see where
Whoopi is being reported now.
You know, whether true or not, I don't know. I guess we have
to believe that it's true since it's being reported, right?
she is livid over her suspension over there at the view and according to this headline
the old egot winner will be a 66 now wow and she is an egot winner i mean there's not many of them
in the world uh she is as i said livid and she's threatening to quit the view over her suspension
now I would say that
you know
oh well
boy what a shame that would be
huh and maybe ABC does say
bye go ahead
have a nice day
whatever we owe you here
get out and that's very possible
and who'll be you know as I said yesterday
I think it was just anyway she's just been busy
she's working she's and she's
and she's not hurting for cash
Okay, she, whoopee is warm and safe.
Clearly,
Woofie is warm and safe.
But I get that she feels humiliated
at being disciplined.
And it is kind of silly.
I mean, it is kind of silly that she was suspended.
She probably should have been fired.
But what are you going to do?
It's Whoopi Goldberg, right?
And ABC.
So, you know, to her, I was asking questions.
Yeah.
Well, we found out other hosts.
in the past
have just been asking questions
and you can't ask that kind of stuff.
It'd be interesting to go back and see
Whoopi's thoughts on Megan Kelly.
Would that be interesting?
I wonder how Whoopi reacted to that
if she cared about that
at all. Huh.
I wonder what her reaction was when
Sharon Osborne got the
axe from The Talk.
I wonder what that was.
Huh, it just makes you wonder.
And those people lost their gigs
over presumably
nothing racist comments, right?
Sharon was saying
she wasn't racist
and Megan was talking
asking questions about dressing
as black face
and dressing up as other characters
that were not your race
and asking questions both got on the acts.
Whoopi is saying that
the Holocaust wasn't about race
and she was just asking questions, right?
but she didn't lose her job.
She got suspended.
So I would say, you know, like I said with Jeff Zucker,
them's the rules, whoopee.
You went ahead and made them, live with them now.
I don't agree with the rules.
I think the rules are stupid.
I think anyone being fired or suspended for thinking
and saying something that they think is crazy.
You should be able to say and think whatever the hell.
you want. Oh, you still can, Jeff. Can you? Can you? You can't hear on the blaze. That's for sure.
There's a few other places available to do that, but it's getting smaller and smaller.
I mean, you see where Rudy Giuliani shows up on the masked singer. Okay. Now, the mask singer,
I do not watch the mass singer. I have watched it in the past. I got bored with it. It's agonizing.
They all, it's too much. They try to be too fun.
and the singers and whatever.
But I know of people who watch the show.
And, you know, whatever, it's fine.
It's a stupid network TV show.
However, they're filming the latest season.
And Rudy Giuliani was revealed to be one of the contestants on the Masked Singer.
I don't think he was a contest.
I think he was a special performance.
Right.
He was, what did they call?
He was...
Mystery singer.
Yeah, he was their mystery singer.
And so during the taping, two of the judges walk out.
Robin Thick and Ken Jung.
Is that how you pronounce his last name?
J-E-O-N-G?
Half expect to see him.
Orphalas.
No, that's him.
You know the comedian guy.
Anyway, so they walked off.
Oh.
Okay.
Now, Jenny McCarthy and Nicole Schooner, who, you know, would love them, man.
You can't get enough of them.
they remained down the stage and bantered with Giuliani
and then eventually Thick and John just returned to the stage.
Oh, they realized that they weren't going to shut the show down.
That's what needs to happen.
You want to walk off? Walk off, duches.
But you know what?
We're not going to stop the taping.
All right?
He's part of the show now.
So get on with it.
So we'll see.
Is Rudy Giuliani going to bring down the end of the math singer?
I think not.
But you never know.
Marshall's buyers travel far and wide, hustling for great deals on amazing gifts.
So you don't have to.
They've bagged this season's Italian leather handbags.
Designer.
Hand-picked the finest sweaters from the rest.
Ooh, cashmere.
Landed makeup pallets from the brands you love.
Rushes too.
And hustled all those wishless topping toys.
So plush.
Our buyers have got you covered.
Marshalls.
We get the deals.
gift for good stuff.
Okay, a couple of stories that came through email.
Those of you that want to contact the show, you can email Chewing the Fat at theblaze.com.
Anytime.
You can always follow me on Twitter at Jeffrey JFR.
Facebook and Instagram is Jeff Fisher Radio.
And Getter is at Jeffie JFR as well.
I never get to that Gether story I got to talk about too.
Anyway, these are stories come from email.
This one from Zach reading Jeffie.
read this story and first thought I had was this is so a Jeff Fisher type of story.
Love you guys at the blaze except Stu.
We only like Stu.
You don't have to throw that in there.
All you got to do is say, we love you guys at the Blaze except Stu.
That's good.
You need to know when to end the sentence.
So anyway, thank you.
The story that Zach sent was about a Bismarck woman who has been charged with assault.
She attacked a police officer.
Oh my gosh.
This is why people don't like police.
Okay?
I support the police, okay?
100%.
I love the, well, I don't love the police.
I support them.
And I know they have a job to do.
And I respect that job.
I truly do.
I get it.
I know how difficult it is.
But this kind of story is what makes you not like police officers.
Okay?
And this, I hope there's a judge that has some sort of common sense.
I kill me sometimes.
I hope there's a judge with common sense.
Sure would be nice to see a couple around America, wouldn't it?
Anyway, this Bismarck woman has been charged with assaulting a police officer after she slapped the officer's butt.
Okay, so the officers from the Merleigh County Sheriff,
office, and I guess it's Burleigh, B-U-R-E-I-G-H, and I'm sure I'm pronouncing it wrong, so I apologize
to Burley County people that are listening to this. I apologize, and those of you that know
how it's supposed to be pronounced, I apologize, okay? But they're conducting a bar check. Okay,
what are you doing? You know what the bar. You know there's a bar, people are drinking. Get out.
All right. You want to pull people over for DUI, sit outside, but don't be walking through.
making a bar check.
Okay, so then,
50-year-old,
she does not look 50.
Maybe I ought to think about not drinking.
Anyway, Sandra C. Cobbz-Sabbo
slapped one on the butt.
Then the officer takes her into custody.
She asked if he was married and told him,
I love a man in uniform.
Loves a man in uniform and slaps him on the ass.
Come on, you're doing a bar check.
What do you do on?
That's why people don't like police officers right there.
The lady said she can't,
I can't believe I'm going to jail for slapping a sexy cop on the ass.
Yeah, no kidding.
Now she's out on bond now,
charged with misdemeanor, sexual assault,
and a felony, simple assault on a peace officer.
If she's convicted on both these counts,
first of all, America is done if she's convicted on both of these.
but if she's convicted, they say she faces up to six years behind bars.
This is embarrassing.
That police officer should be embarrassed.
That is agonizing.
I can't believe that this happens in America.
I really can't.
And if you can, please, officer, call me here at Chewing the Fat.
Email me, Chewing the Fat of the Blaze.com.
And let me know why you would arrest a woman in a bar that you're doing a
bar check on as you walk by and she slaps you in the ass.
I mean, she's, that's just unbelievable.
America is doomed if this lady gets charged.
If the judge does not say, officer, stop it.
Then we are doomed.
Then I got an email from John asking the question,
how do you always get ahead of the curve and then someone else cashes in?
I know, John.
That's the story of my life.
Thank you.
I'm aware of my own history.
I don't need to point it out by you.
I pointed out on this show often enough,
but he's tagged that email with the story
about the space cryptocurrency
announcing the launch of the new token
aimed at cleaning up space debris.
Ain't I been saying it?
Ain't I been saying it?
Name that movie.
So they announced the launch of the first
space crypto currency.
Now, they launched this the first of this year, and so it's interesting that they are using this cryptocurrency,
and it's designed to support the space economy by funding the cleanup of space debris,
as well as funding planetary defense efforts.
Wonder where most of the money will go.
Just asking, I'd just like to see a breakout of where the money is going,
because we really, the maximum number of Skittal tokens, SKTL, token,
will be set at 300 million tokens.
200 million tokens will be airdropped out in the token's initial distribution,
which will consist of 100 million tokens that will be airdropped on January 1st,
so those have already been dropped.
Users who enter their wallet addresses into the Skittles AirDrop Registration page on
Skittles.com, and 100 million, which will be set aside for the space.
Okay, 100 million of those will be set up as for the space cleanup fund,
which is governed by the Skittles Advisory Board.
I'd like to be a part of that advisory board, please.
The purpose of the space cleanup fund is to fund space cleanup as well as planetary defense from asteroids and comments.
10% of the Skiddle tokens held in the space cleanup fund will be donated each year,
the first Thursday of each May, Space Day, to fund these efforts in a process outlined in the Skiddle government's document.
Okay, well, we have got to go to skittles.com.
And why am I not a part of the Skittles Space Crypto, helping to clear the way for the
Space Revolution.
By supporting Skittles, you support a new incentive of social good through profit motive.
Oh, man, do I want to be...
I don't know that I actually want to be a part of this, but I love the social good through
profit motive.
Isn't that?
And that is perfect.
That is perfect.
So, anyway, they do, we do need to do something with space debris.
And whether we need to bring in the new space debris mafia, I don't know.
but somebody needs to get up there and get rid of that trash.
We're already trying, thinking about we can sue, can we sue Elon Musk for having all this stuff and all this trash in the space?
Well, no.
And now they want to know if they can sue him because, oh, that's tomorrow.
Okay.
So today's the third.
I got a little nervous for a second.
I thought today was the day.
If you're listening to this, it is, again, it's the third of February.
So there's a rocket going to be crashing into the moon on the fourth tomorrow, February 4th, 2020.
And I am looking forward to it.
I want video.
I want to see it all.
But what they're talking about is, could we sue that?
Oh, you know, for the space size rocket smashing into the Luna surface at 5,700 miles an hour,
it should create a decent size crater, one that's got, you know, it should be about 19 meters.
Okay.
Well, first of all, we don't know how big 19 meters.
How about you let us, you know, talk in American sizes?
Anyway, so if littering is illegal, then why can I must throw trash on the moon?
Ah, that's funny.
That's funny because it's space debris and nobody's responsible and just get out of the way.
And it's hitting the moon.
Who cares?
I thought we were all.
The moon is all of ours, right?
So no one can own the moon, although the United States is the owner of the moon.
I believe that. I will fight for that until the end of time.
Don't even talk about.
The moon is the world.
We all see it.
Okay, that's fine.
But for right now, for right now, in this space-time continuum,
the moon belongs to the United States of America.
If you're listening to this podcast, outside of America, I'm sorry.
I love you.
I love your country.
I love all of your little funny little idiosyncrasies.
that only you and your country do but the moon is the united states okay that belongs to us i know
i know look i'm sorry you can i'll wipe away the tear here let me let me get a little piece of
towel and here come here baby and i wipe that tear away from you there you go but it belongs
to us okay it just does that's just that is just science

You know, talking about the space
And the space garbage got me looking at
I've got plenty of stories under my space heading
these days. A lot going on in space.
Plus, I've been proved correct again
that we are not ready for prime time space travel.
I mean, just this past weekend,
the SpaceX launch was scrubbed multiple times.
The first few times,
the first two or three times
was because of weather-related.
issues. So there was too many clouds in the sky. And then the last postponement was it was scrubbed because
there was a cruise ship in the waters off the coast. Are you kidding me? So I know that we were concerned about,
you know, what if it blows up and crashes and debris and it could get hit? Well, you know, I didn't
realize anybody were on those cruise ships anymore, but whatever. And so, again, we are not ready
for prime time. Now, they ended up the next day. Everything was fine. I guess
All the clouds moved away, and there were no other ships on the ocean,
and we went ahead and launched the rocket into space.
Okay, great.
But we're not ready for prime time.
I'm sorry.
Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, what's his face?
Richard Branson, make it ready for primetime space, okay?
Let's just make that happen.
NASA, I don't know, work together.
Maybe figure it out.
I know we've got some partners in India, some partners in China, some partners in China,
some partners in Russia.
Maybe we work it out a little bit.
Figure it out how we come together
and get ready for prime time space travel.
Okay.
All right, good.
I see where astronomers are now
identifying an exoplanet
with a layered earth-like atmospheric structure
filled with metallic gas
known as a hot Jupiter.
Oh yeah.
Oh, yeah.
talking about some planet business.
The planet orbits its host star in under 10 days.
So, I mean, hot Jupiter could be the place to move.
I'm ready.
Let's go.
Well, we're not ready for prime time.
I mean, if we were ready for prime time,
we could hop on a flight and get to hot Jupiter right now.
Open up a club and we could just hang out.
What are you doing this weekend?
I'm heading to hot Jupiter.
Oh, okay, cool.
See you then.
And we have astronomers predicting signals from the merger of two giant black holes.
You can write your own jokes on that.
Don't stop it.
Quit looking at me like that.
It's just a joke.
So there's a merger of two giant black holes.
They're located.
Would you stop?
I said write your own jokes.
I'm not going to write them for you, okay?
I've got my own.
They're located.
roughly 1.2 billion light years away and are expected to reach Earth in roughly 100 days.
That's not that long, my friends.
The long predicted mechanism for the black hole growth has never been directly observed.
I don't know that I like the sound of that.
We don't know what's going to happen.
It's the eminent merger of the giant black.
holes and it's a never-before seen event uh-huh and it could spark cosmic fireworks uh-huh and uh okay
okay uh I don't necessarily want to see it I'd like to keep it out there okay I know it's
hundred of millions of sons are gearing up for their cataclysmic merger as soon as a hundred
days from now but let's uh let's not let's keep it
way out there.
Okay?
That's all I want.
That's all I care about.
Just keeping it way out there.
And I see where we have the blasting radio waves coming from the mysterious nearby object in space.
We have seen that documentary be before.
Okay?
The radio is blasting into her.
That documentary has been part of our life.
before. So I don't know. They've spotted this object letting out giant blasts of energy three
times an hour, but we don't know what the object is. Oh, and it's, uh, you know, four thousand
light years away. And so our astronomers, again, have never seen anything like it before. And the
object was disappearing and appearing and, you know, a few hours, it would show up and then it would
disappear and you know would blast these radio waves and we don't know what it is so we've got the
merging of black holes we've got blasts of radio waves coming i mean can't we just go to hot jupiter
