Starting point is 00:00:36 Congratulations to whoever won the Powerball in Connecticut. You won $183 million, $122.4 million cash payout, unless you know, take the 30-year annulments, which, you know, it's not really anulments, is it? No, it's annuities. But why would you do that? I mean, just give me the cash payout and let's go. Plus, they had a million dollar winner in Michigan from the Powerball. And then, of course, the Mega Millions winner was sold in New Jersey.
Starting point is 00:01:19 And that was only for $42 million. So congratulations to all the winners of the Powerball and the Mega Millions. I'm sure that you are very, very happy. And I am happy for you. I said congratulations, right? Yeah, yeah, I did. Okay. Welcome.
Starting point is 00:01:44 Welcome to Chewing the Fat. So a while back, we talked about a couple weeks ago, we talked about the priest, Father Andres Arango, who did the baptisms wrong, right? Apparently, he said a word wrong. He was supposed to say, we baptize you, and the proper form, I baptize you. And they said, and now he has resigned. What? He said he was going to dedicate his energy and full-time ministry to help remedy this and heal those affected. I mean, can he still do that if he resigns? I mean, maybe he's still a priest, right? He just resigns from the church.
Starting point is 00:02:33 I don't necessarily, you know, the church said those baptisms are invalid. Yep, through June 17th, 2021. I mean, he's been in Phoenix and San Diego. And he said the baptism's wrong. He said, we is not the community. that baptizes the person, rather it is Christ and him alone who presides over all the sacraments. And so it is Jesus Christ who baptizes. The bishop said he did not believe Arango had intentions to harm the faithful or deprive them of the grace of baptism and the sacraments.
Starting point is 00:03:13 Okay, well, I mean, first of all, first of all, saying we, I mean, he's speaking on behalf of Christ. So, I mean, we could, because there are technicality in there somewhere, doesn't God get a little, you know, he could say, ah, you're fine. I don't worry about it. But now this story said he resigns. So, I mean, holy cow, he's looking for a gig. Man, he didn't win the lottery. That's a shame.
Starting point is 00:03:42 And then we have the mayor, so he's looking for a gig. And then we have the mayor in Hudson, Ohio. Remember the mayor who joked around, he claimed, joking around. of a grossly misunderstood, I believe is the quote, the mayor said, where he talked about ice fishing leads to prostitution. Another problem. And if you then allow ice fishing with shanties, then that leads to another problem.
Starting point is 00:04:14 Prostitution. Now he released a statement after that saying that, hey, my comment about ice fishing and permitting of shanties on lakes and prostitution stems from my experience as a former television news reporter covering law enforcement agencies which have made arrests for acts of prostitution in fishing shanties. Okay, have they? I mean, maybe. When discussing proposed legislation, it's wise to discuss the potential for unintended
Starting point is 00:04:45 consequences. My statement was to enlighten the council for the future permitting of ice shantings may lead to other issues. You know, if they, this was, uh, uh, uh, done as a bit on the social media that brought light to this and then I'm sure, you know, overwhelming, uh, the Hudson, Ohio people about, uh, ice fishing, you know, leading to prostitution. So he has, uh, resigned. Yep.
Starting point is 00:05:13 He's giving it up. He's, you know what? I, it's been, was grossly misunderstood. And I just, I can't do this anymore. he talked about how he just lost his wife. And I've got to quit. This character assassination on me is just too much. And everyone is blaming me for the negative international press.
Starting point is 00:05:36 Yeah, because you're the one that was using ice fishing and shanties that's going to lead to prostitution. Sorry, mayor, but you're the one that I know you tried to, you know, inject your dry sense of humor. But it wasn't funny. And I get it. Had you said that, had you laid the groundwork for that, but you didn't. So he's quitting.
Starting point is 00:06:04 So he's looking for a gig. He's looking to win the lottery too. So you got the priest and the mayor looking for work. There's probably more than one joke in that story. Write your own jokes. Now I can't stop thinking about it. So a priest and a mare walk into an ice shanty. Hey.
Starting point is 00:06:27 Want to dip your stick in the old hole? All right. Stop it. I told you to write your own. I'm going to stop now. I don't want to, but I'm going to. Spent the rest of the show just writing jokes about the priest and the mayor. No, you can do that on your own.
Starting point is 00:06:44 Those of you that follow me on Twitter and Instagram, Twitter at Jeffrey JFR, Instagram is Jeff Fisher Radio. You saw I posted war and lawsuit headlines, join the fat guy today. So the top three headlines all under breaking, breaking, breaking, Prince Andrew agrees to settle the sexual abuse lawsuit. We'll talk about that. I'm going to do a special Royals podcast. this weekend on Saturday. There is so much news to talk about with the Royals. So if you like to have insight from myself and Chris Cruz,
Starting point is 00:07:26 we'll do that on Saturday, special Royals podcast this weekend. We have Putin saying that Moscow is not ready for talks with the U.S., you know, about NATO, and we're going to pull back a few of our troops. I mean, Putin is just playing games. We were talking, you know, Macroon, the cookie went over and talked to him, and now we're talking to Macroon. I mean, it's just, are we the world leader or not? Well, you know the answer to that.
Starting point is 00:07:57 And Sandy Hook families settle with Remington for $73 million. The settlement comes over seven years after the family sued the maker of the Bushmaster XM15-E2S. semi-automatic rifle that was used in the 2012 mass shooting in Newtown, Connecticut, as horrible as that shooting was. To find the gun manufacturer guilty of something wrong is just amazing to me. Oh, they settled out of court, Jeff. There was no guilt found. I know.
Starting point is 00:08:38 I know. But, wow, that's something. I find that's a new world we're living in. It's a new world. Thank you for listening to Chewing the Fat, though, and follow me on social media. No question about that. And I didn't mention Facebook, which is Jeff Fisher Radio,
Starting point is 00:08:55 and, of course, Getter at Jeffrey JFR. At some point, I mean, I know that Getter is supposed to be the new thing. Is it? I love the Prince Andrew settlement, too, because it just goes away. I thought Virginia was not going to give in. But when asked to, provide the picture that, you know, the world knows is her and Prince Andrew with his arm around it. Now, he, you know, has always claimed it.
Starting point is 00:09:23 I'm not saying he's, you know, Mr. Clean Cut guy, but he's always claimed that he had no recollection of that picture being taken and that he's, you know, the royals have said, nah, the prince would not be putting his arm around people. He's a prince. He's not touching people. Okay. You know, whatever. But she couldn't provide the photo.
Starting point is 00:09:45 So we don't even know if it's real. I mean, you can claim that it's real. She claimed she gave it to the FBI. Okay, well, where it is? Where it is? Where it be at, Virginia? And so that's why I'm pretty sure that's why the settlement, right? She can't provide the photo.
Starting point is 00:10:05 And so now she's going to have to give in and just take whatever the prince gave her. And she already got some money out of the guy. I mean, don't spend it all in one place because you can't come back again. All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink desperately. Oh, good. So rumor has it that Wanda Sykes and Amy Schumer and Regina Hall will be hosting the Oscars this year. Man, will it be good, won't it?
Starting point is 00:10:48 Right. All right. So ABC, owned by Walt Disney, of course, is hosting the ceremony. And, you know, okay. Let's hope it works out for them. I mean, the Academy Awards have not featured a host the past three years. Now, let me ask you a question. Did it hurt the awards? I mean, I guess they thought it did. We'll see. We'll see. I mean, is Wanda and Amy and Regina Hall? They're fine, you know, whatever. I guess, you know. I loved her character, actually, Regina Hall. I loved her character in Nine Perfect Strangers. And, you know, Amy Schumer is sometimes funny. and Wanda Sykes is sometimes funny
Starting point is 00:11:53 but to make such a big deal it'll be agonizing because you have to walk a really fine line for the Oscars these days just say no just say no let them just introduce the stars here you go I think we've decided that it's time to give up on it right It's time to give up on the Oscars, and let's just give, you know, send the awards in the mail. Congratulations.
Starting point is 00:12:21 Go to the website for more details. Good news for Trevor Noah, who, you know, I mean, you, whew, man, I mean, he's so busy with the Daily Show, which is so good. He's going to be the entertainer at the next White House Correspondents Association dinner that returns on April. 30th. Now, I mean, I know you're going to say to yourself, wait, that still is going on. Well, it's been two years. And, you know, COVID knocked the correspondence dinner out. And then, you know, Trump skipped the dinner the four years he was president. I wonder why. I wonder why Donald Trump would skip that dinner. I don't know. That maybe you could figure it out. Now, there is expectation that Joe Biden will attend the event. I, who,
Starting point is 00:13:13 hope that happens. If they have the correspondence dinner and Joe shows up, I mean, it's going to be nighttime. He's going to have, be full of whatever medications they've got him full of. It will be, that will be fun. You know,
Starting point is 00:13:34 I hope that happens. And Trevor, of course, isn't it? and incredible talent. So it'll be great to have him, you know, get us back to, you know, perceived normalcy and get that White House Correspondents Association dinner
Starting point is 00:13:55 back up and running. And my gosh, I hope the president can be there. That'll just be great. So you know me in world records. I like them. And I'm disappointed that I don't actually hold a world record right now. I will. I will.
Starting point is 00:14:12 some point in my life soon hold a world record on something i don't know what it was going to be but i am going to hold a world record but i'm not going to hold the biggest bum in the world i know you're going to look at you say jeff man i've seen you're pretty close actually i'm not so this natasha crown that's her instagram crown official one
Starting point is 00:14:41 2 million followers, by the way. She has spent $150,000 on surgery to have the biggest bum in the world. And she's a Siberian-Swedish woman with a super-sized booty. Now, Natasha is saying that she's struggling to find love because men are afraid of her surgically enhanced posterior. I got news for you, Natasha. I know you've undergone five Brazilian buttlifts in a bid to have the biggest bum in the world. But I don't think that's what they're afraid of.
Starting point is 00:15:25 When you look at some of the pictures of before and after your quest to have the biggest bum in the world, you also did some other cuts. You're on your way to clown face and clown ass. And maybe that's the problem. I mean, you want to do it. Go ahead. Who am I? Who am I to stop you?
Starting point is 00:15:46 You've got your five Brazilian buttlifts and you're ready to schedule your six. She knows, she says, I will have the world's biggest bum. My goal and I'm going to reach it. Oh, okay. Now, she loves, she claims she loves having the big bum when she walks. She feels the jiggling, jiggling, jiggling, jiggling. But she has and she admits to a range of other cosmetic enhancements. Yeah, no kidding.
Starting point is 00:16:17 You can really see, man. Breast implants, lip fillers, and, you know, butt implants. So, I mean, she's got three cuts to clown face and three cuts to clown ass. Man, it is scary looking. It's not, it's not your big ass. keeping potential love interests away, baby. No, look, I'm okay. You fine.
Starting point is 00:16:43 If you want to do that, whatever makes you happy, Natasha, you go right ahead and do it. But don't kid yourself that it's because of that big ass that they don't want anything to do with you. Okay? It's because you are, uh, yeah, I know. She's on the, she's got some series. She appeared on the Trullies series, hooked on the. look where she was set up with a blind date. She,
Starting point is 00:17:13 the man was turned off by her bountiful body and had no interest in going on a second date. Yeah, that's not the bountiful body. It's because you're whacked out of your mind. Now, what is the biggest bum in the world? That's what I want to know. There was a YouTube story that talked about the biggest natural bum in the world that was 60 inches. Now, she claims, Natasha claims, that the world,
Starting point is 00:17:37 the world record is a 90 inch, or if she gets to 90 inch, that's the world record. So she's got to continue to eat food so she can gain weight because the extra fats then get to be transferred to her backside. That is tremendous. So she claims to have six feet broad backside. She feasts on pizza and pasta. in addition to six kilos, I don't know how much that is, of Nutella each month, 15 jars.
Starting point is 00:18:14 Oh, there you go. With the intention to acquire as a lot of weight as possible, anxious by the intense food regimen essential for the process. Does she really want to do it? Yes, I have a purpose. I have to have the world's greatest bum. You really don't, though. You really don't.
Starting point is 00:18:38 I mean, I know even if you get to the largest bum where you set the world record of the 90-inch circumference, that doesn't really mean it's good. But good luck. Natasha, gosh darn it. Good luck. Do I hope you get it? You bet, baby.
Starting point is 00:18:58 You bet. I want you to get that supersized booty in. I'll be first in line to congratulate you when you get that world. record, but I mean, you are one, I will say this, I believe that you are the first of this program of chewing the fat. To be three cuts to clown face and three cuts to ass face. So congratulations on doing that.

Starting point is 00:20:08 Magazin. Well, I will say this, for NBC and the NBC umbrella of platforms that are airing the Olympics,
Starting point is 00:20:18 they're doing their darned us to get me to watch some of it. And I just can't bring myself to do it. I mean, they're running stories. They've got press running stories on the American curler, Matt Hamilton, who's got, you know, shoes that stand out at the Olympics. I just don't care. They're doing stories on the fluffy panda mascot. Apparently, it's all the rage at the Winter Olympics.
Starting point is 00:20:53 Is it? But the stuffed animal version has become so sought after that the people are camping overnight to buy it. Are they? But I don't care. Okay? I do care about the doping scandal that they're talking about. I mean, the star Russian figure skater,
Starting point is 00:21:13 Kamala Vali, has been cleared to compete though. Don't worry about it. Yeah, she had that drug in her, but it was a heart medication. And so what that it's banned? And so what? That it increases blood flow and endurance.
Starting point is 00:21:26 So get over it. It's fine. She can compete. Huh. That's weird. Because, I mean, they had the last Olympics,
Starting point is 00:21:39 Richardson couldn't run because she smoked a little dope. but it's okay for the Russian to compete even with a little heart medication that's not cleared in the rules. That's okay. Yeah, okay. All right. You got me. I mean, I was looking at a rundown of the athletes who lost medals to doping scandals.
Starting point is 00:22:02 It's kind of, they have a running theme in the athletes who lost medals to doping scandals. Like they have a list of them here. And it starts off with Alexander Tretyatkov, Elena Nicatina, Olga Fattucklina, Alessi Nygdialo, Alexander Legov, Maxim Velleganan, Alexander Zubkov, Dmitri Trangov, Olga Velugina,
Starting point is 00:22:37 Y... Ooh, Olga's a couple times. Ooh, that's not... Ooh, Ogo's trying to sneak through a couple of times. Yana Romanova Olga Zaziva Alexi Vojava Albert Dimchenko
Starting point is 00:22:52 Who did Jimenko? Did we mention him before? He's got another one going in there? Tatina Ivanaova Larissa Lazutina Olga Denanova, Olga Oh, that's Denanova
Starting point is 00:23:03 That's not Velocuchina Alexander Krudiski Olga, a lot of Olga's Olga, but just not the same last name. Pivalva, Jeanne Muleg,
Starting point is 00:23:16 and Galina Kulakov. Now, and there's one name here, Elaine Baxter. What do all the one have in common? There's a running theme outside of Elaine Baxter. So according to this, Russia has the most
Starting point is 00:23:42 the doping scandals at the Winter Olympics. They've lost 10 gold medals in the process. Wow, that's pretty incredible. And they give a huge timeline of the doping scandals in the Olympics. I mean, okay, I'm okay with that. You know, it started, I mean, they've go way back. This list goes down to 89 positive doping cases. Those were metals lost, right?
Starting point is 00:24:11 was his 33 total, but 89 positive doping cases. And the most was in Sochi. 55. Wow. I mean, that's what turned Russia. I mean, that's what kicked them out of this Olympics. They can't be in this Olympics. Oh, wait.
Starting point is 00:24:28 They had 10 in Salt Lake City. So those are the top two events. Salt Lake City in 2002 and Sochi in 2014. And it had the most doping cases in them. Really incredible. So it's just, you know, maybe, you know, I like this kind of timeline. I like the storylines of, you know, the Olympic Village and business. But if you're in the Chinese bubble, there's no business going on this year.
Starting point is 00:24:55 I'm sorry to tell you, business is closed. It's very disappointing. And I shouldn't say it's closed. I mean, they're offering the free condoms in Beijing, but they, you know, are saying that they, the athletes need to avoid hugs and handshakes and, you know, they're in the COVID bubble. So that means that they are in the closed loop. They're doing, you know, behind closed doors business.
Starting point is 00:25:21 It's not out in the open in China. So, man, don't get busted. Do not get busted, man. I know. I did the whole layout of what's happening. So, I mean, in 2016, they gave out 450,000 condoms. I know. And Rio de Janeiro.
Starting point is 00:25:43 I mean, that was party time, right? And then Tokyo, they handed out only 150,000. So I guess the Tokyo Olympics were anti-sex. No, they actually had more. There was a problem with the different type of material that were used. It was a company. I remember the story. Now, the company had ordered a different kind of condom.
Starting point is 00:26:05 And I have to find the story. But they were kicked out. There are thousands of these condoms that they wouldn't allow in the village because of what they were made of. Anyway, so I know that they've got the, you know, they've got the closed loop in China. So, man, if there's a, you know, a little sneaking business going on in China, hopefully we'll get some stories, you know, after. I am interested in that. I am interested in the story about how the Olympic village that China is created. has a kind of dystopian feel.
Starting point is 00:26:44 We have robots. They're populated with hundreds of robots that are helping people maintain distance. Hey, get away from you. You are touching. And so they're delivering packages and flipping burgers and assisting with medical care for the athletes, collecting garbage, dispensing hand sanitizers. I mean, there's roving robots all over the Olympic Village, which is kind of cool.
Starting point is 00:27:10 And I'll be interested to hear some of the stories after our athletes get out of the bubble to see, you know, exactly how that happened and how it worked. They have the app that keeps everyone sealed, the athletes and media, spectators alike. They have the special app that they developed just for the Olympic Village that helps track all the participants, the health data, Vax info, as well as. the results for the daily tests. You can't leave your room and travel between facilities. Everyone inside the loop got to receive a green signal signifying the negative PCR results
Starting point is 00:27:53 within the previous 24 hours by scanning their passes. If you're not a green signal, you're not leaving your room. Sorry, man, wish we could, wish we could unlock the door for you, but we can't. They have the smart beds. The athletes will be equipped to come. count more than just sheep. The story, ha, ha, ha. They have the smart beds.
Starting point is 00:28:14 So the Olympic Village, the apartments are fitted with memory foam mattresses that monitor breathing and heart rate. And they're designed to capture the athlete's body signature and can even send reports to their coaches about changes in vitals.
Starting point is 00:28:30 If you think they're not keeping that, you absolutely are, because you want to know how the athletes are sleeping, how their body is cooling down and slowing down and getting up. I mean, that's information that every country wants for their athletes. No question about that. That's incredible. They have 5G all the time in the village, which is cool.
Starting point is 00:28:54 No cash or credit cards. It's all the games that are going to serve for digital currency. That's it. The central bank digital currency enables Chinese authorities to trace how money moves. through the country and is intended to be frictionless to use his popular digital payment platforms. Okay. I mean, those are the stories I like. Do I care?
Starting point is 00:29:17 I mean, I love the athletes and I appreciate all the work they put into it. And I do like watching them, but I just can't bring myself to watch them. And I'm sorry, I just can't. I wish I could, but I just can't. But you want to tell me about robots delivering your condoms in the middle of the night, of the closed loop. I'm in. This episode is brought to you by Peloton. A new era of fitness is here.

Explore the new Peloton Cross Training Tread Plus at one So good news from the IRS.
Starting point is 00:30:26 They claim that they don't want to see your face anymore. They'll receive that backlash from all the privacy advocates and bipartisan lawmakers. And they're abandoning the use of third-party facial recognition software ID me. They announced that by the summer of this year, all taxpayers would need to provide documents and a video selfie to the third-party company IDME in order to use the agency's website. in order to use the agency's website. What they were talking about was going back in if you wanted to get old records and everything
Starting point is 00:30:56 you needed to have that ID. But they pointed out, oh, no, yeah, what about taxpayers without smartphones or web cameras? Facial recognition tech has been criticized for misidentifying people of color, gender non-conforming people, and women. IDME uses one too many matching,
Starting point is 00:31:19 meaning it keeps a database of users, or images, IDME's terms of service grant the company, the right to share data it collects with the police, government, and select partners. The transition away from IDME will take place in the coming weeks and won't cause any problems for tax filers. Uh-huh. And if you think that they're not tracking you, move on with your life because the CIA, we've already admitted, has a secret program that collects American data. Wait, what? Yeah, the CIA has a secret undisclosed data repository that includes information collected about Americans. And we found that out during the Senate Intelligence Committee meeting.
Starting point is 00:32:04 Oh, really? Yeah, the agency, we don't want to disclose any of the specifics about the data. But the details of the program and any of that, we don't want any of that to get out of the public. But it's there, and we know about it. So don't you worry about it. Of course the CIA is keeping information on you. Duh. I don't know why you think it's any different.
Starting point is 00:32:31 I mean, we found out the postal service has been hacking into hundreds of seized mobile devices tracking users and social media posts. So what's it to you? Okay? Okay. So the Celebrite Premium and Gray Key tools acquired in 2019 and 2018 allow the Digital Evidence Unit to extract previously unattainable information from seized mobile devices. I am all about the Digital Evidence Unit being able to use the Celebrite Premium and Gray Key tools to extract
Starting point is 00:33:16 previously on attainable information from seized mobile devices. Man, I am all about that. So apparently, 331 devices were processed. 242 were unlocked or extracted by these services. The success of the program at ever-increasing demand for services required the purchase this year of a second gray key device for use on the East Coast. Huh.
Starting point is 00:33:48 Isn't that interesting? Huh. And that's just the United States Postal Service. Of course they're doing that. What are you worried about? So don't worry about the IRS saying they're going to get rid of facial recognition because are they? Okay.
Starting point is 00:34:07 I know that's what they said. It's all good. You know, don't worry about the CIA's secret program. it's collecting data on Americans. Don't worry about the postal service hacking into those cell phones and then tracking on top of those. Don't worry about Facebook and Instagram and Twitter and Getter and everybody tracking you and knowing where you're at.
Starting point is 00:34:29 Stop worrying about it. Okay? Get over it. I mean, I know that Texas is suing MEDA. They're calling it a massive lawsuit against META, claiming that Facebook's recently discontinued use of the facial recognition technology violated the state's privacy protections. So they say that it's $25,000 per violation on the penalty,
Starting point is 00:34:56 which is a part of the state law here at Texas. That, you know, they're talking about tens of millions of dollars in violations. So I know the suit is seeking, you know, hundreds of billions of dollars in penalties. We'll see what happens. I mean, okay. I mean, you know what? I don't want them, you know, using that technology against me, but if I'm for sure they will. I'll tell you one thing that's going to get them, though, is the huge rise in insurance claims thanks to the VR headsets.
Starting point is 00:35:33 31%. Insurance companies are going to be going, ooh, yeah, meta. So is meta going to cover that? or are you just going to have to cover it as part of your insurance? Do you have meta? Do you have virtual reality glasses? Yeah, your insurance is going to go up. Okay.
Starting point is 00:35:51 I mean, they talk about a man landing an uppercut on a ceiling fan, a woman slamming into furniture, a guy smashing through a lighting fixture, and the headsets are causing quite the havoc. So according to this, 31% jump in home content claims involving VR headsets last year alone and a 68% overall increased since 2016. So when the new, you know, headsets start becoming popular, insurance claims are going up.
Starting point is 00:36:29 So, so is the cost of that insurance. Have you got a headset? Yeah, the cost is going to go up. No problem. I know that, you know, they're kind of cool. I don't know if you have one. We do have one. I got a couple of them, I think, a couple of the Samsung ones.
Starting point is 00:36:44 I don't have the new meta ones. But it's fun. I get it. But if you're going to actually go into the world, you may want to have a room, right? A padded room, the meta room or the meta chair. Maybe that's what needs to happen. I mean, we've never seen any.
Starting point is 00:37:03 There's never been any documentaries or movies that have showed you what could happen when that starts going on. Just stay in your little apartment and don't go outside, okay? And go back into your meta room and go out into the world that way. All right, but don't leave your little apartment in the real life apartment. Okay, only leave through meta. What could possibly go wrong? Okay, so we're seeing some of the satellite burning up into our atmosphere.
Starting point is 00:37:37 We're seeing videos of, you know, Elon, I don't know, he lost, 40 or more satellites. You know, and there we see them burning up into our atmosphere. I've been seeing people send videos of those that they've got off their ring cameras. But this story we talked about, I think a while ago, about the Empire State building-sized asteroid that's headed toward Earth. And it's headed toward us like this week. I mean, if you're listening live, today is the 15th of February, 2020.
Starting point is 00:38:07 and they're talking about this being here on Friday, which would be the 18th of February, 2020. That's the way calendars work. Now, the headlines are all, ah, worry about it. It's not going to hit us. So thankfully, it's not going to hit us. Yeah, it's about as big as the Empire State Building.
Starting point is 00:38:26 It's large enough to cause major continent-wide disaster, but thankfully, it won't hit us. Oh, okay. Well, it's called 202,000. to BH7. I'm all right, I'm really scared of that. But the asteroid tracker from NASA says impact is very unlikely. That doesn't say it's not going to hit us.
Starting point is 00:38:54 I guess maybe a NASA speak in asteroid tracker speak, that means it's not going to hit us. Oh, it's very unlikely. So I guess that means it's not going to hit us. But it doesn't say, don't worry about it. So, 2002-B-H-7, I apologize, I want to make sure I, you know, call it by the correct name. Estimated between 170 and 380 meters, which is about the size of the Empire State Building. It's about the same size as the asteroid's maximum estimate. Okay.
Starting point is 00:39:29 The space rock is unlikely to hit Earth. However, with current NASA calculations stating it will safely pass by, on Friday at a distance of around 2.9 million kilometers. Okay. I mean, the moon is at, what, 384,000 kilometers? So, you know, it doesn't go between us and the moon. But, okay. I mean, if it does, let's say, you know, bounce off moon beam and start heading toward us.
Starting point is 00:40:04 I want it to hit over there. Okay? Let's have it hit over there. Yeah, no, I don't want it to hit Earth at all, okay, at all. But if it does, I want it to hit, you know, over there. I guess the last major disaster that we had with an asteroid hitting the Earth was in 1908. And it produced an explosion greater than that. than a nuclear bomb.
Starting point is 00:40:36 It was one of the largest explosions ever. And it was estimated to be about 100, at most, 190 meters in width. So it's, you know, somewhere in this size range that hit us the last time.
Starting point is 00:40:54 I would also say there's a lot of things that have changed since 1908, if that were to hit the earth. So I want it to take, hit, you know, over there. Do I want it to hit the earth? No, I do not. And I will be thankful and wipe my brow when it passes by and we say, see you later. 2022BH7. Take care. Thanks for coming by. But if it's going to hit the earth, hit over there. Okay? Not here. Hit over there. Stream and subscribe to more Blaze Media content at theblaze.com slash podcasts.
