With Amex Platinum, you have access to over 1,400 airport lounges worldwide. So your experience before takeoff is a taste of what's to come. That's the powerful backing of Amex. Conditions apply. Blaze Radio Network. And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. A prominent Japanese scientist with apparently nothing else to do has been developing and testing a groundbreaking, treatment aimed at extending the lives of cats. Do we not have better things for our scientists to be

doing that we're worried about extending the lives of cats? Apparently not. So those are suffering from chronic kidney disease, CKD, is one of the most common causes of death in older cats. Oh no. Which leads to a progressive kidney failure. Dr. Toru Miyazayaki. I'm sure I know. I'm sure I nailed that perfectly. Miyazaki. Yeah, that's what I said. Dr. Toru. Miyazaki.

Yeah, with nothing better to do. He believes that the treatment combines gene editing techniques where specific genes promote the production of healthy renal cells and enhance the kidney's ability to filter toxins. With regenerative medicine, such as bioactive compounds designed to reduce inflammation and fibrosis, two key factors that accelerate kidney failure. Early trials have shown positive results. with some cats experiencing improved kidney function and an extended lifespan.

In some cases, the treatment has increased a cat's life expectancy well beyond the typical 15 to 20 years, potentially reaching up to 30 years. Well, if this experimental trials that Dr. Toru... Miyazaki is doing is going to end up helping humans, then I guess I'm all for it. But if it's just for cats, please stop it. Welcome.

Welcome to chewing the fat. So what else has scientists been working on? Because I was digging into the scientific journal Advanced Sustainable Systems. You can't tear me away from the Scientific Journal, Advanced Sustainable Systems. They told us that, or the, you know, the journal told us that the scientists have invented an artificial plant that can simultaneously clean indoor air while generating enough electricity to power a smartphone. Okay, well, then we just need a bigger plant.

And we could power the house then, right? A team from Binghampton University in New York, love them, created an artificial leaf for fun using five biological solar cells and their photosynthesetic bacteria before realizing that the device could be used for. practical applications. The proof of concept plant with five artificial leaves was capable of generating electricity and oxygen while removing CO2 at a far more efficient rate than natural plants. Oh, so traditional CO2 mitigation methods such as ventilation and filtration are becoming less effective as outdoor CO2 levels increased due to global warming. Okay, stop. All right, so whatever. The researchers

noted in a study detailing the artificial plant titled, uh, science, no bacterial artificial plants for enhanced indoor carbon capture and utilization. That's what I tell you. That's what you get in the advanced sustainable systems scientific journal. So these artificial plants used indoor light to drive photosynthesis, achieving 90% reduction in indoor CO2 levels from 5,000 to 500 ppm, far surpassing the 10% reduction seen in natural plants. Okay, so I care very little about the,

the whole CO2 mitigation methods and all of that. What I do care about is the plant creating electricity. That's what I need. That's what we need. With these leave levels connected in a series within the artificial plant structure, the system produces an OCV of 2.7V and a maximum power of 140 UW, which is sufficient to power portable electronics. The researchers wrote, adding that the device's performance demonstrates its potential as a dual-function system for an improving air quality and providing sustainable energy. Okay, I'm all for it. If what we need to do is make sure that we're providing sustainable energy.

And as a byproduct of that, if we're, you know, taking care of that horrible CO2 level that I'm all for it. But I need a, I need one of these giant plants outside my house to power my house. And I don't want like three plants and one plant powers the coffee maker and the other plant powers the toaster, and the other plant powers my Bluetooth speakers? No. I want a giant plant that powers my entire house. That's all of it.

So make that happen, and I'll look for it published in the Scientific Journal, Advanced Sustainable Systems. So remember, I don't know, a month or so ago, we talked about the report that found 406 CEOs across all industries have stepped down from the top spot and into other sea level advisory or board roles while 361 left without giving a reason and another 33 retired. I mean, the CEOs are, you know, dropping like flies. Well, then we get a report that the Nike veteran, Elliot Hill, takes over his CEO today.

So we have a new CEO at Nike. The Stalantis CEO said, you know what? I'm going to retire early. I don't want to do this anymore. I am out of here. Sure, sales are down. And, you know, share prices down 40%. Sales are down.

I don't know what to do. Oh, yeah. And by the way, the United Auto Workers are suing the company right now because they want to strike mid-contract. Oh, really? Yeah, that's all. Don't worry about it. So we have new CEOs there.

Then we find out that. Last week we talked about the Boeing production workers for the Boeing strike. We're going to restart negotiations today, or that was last week. And then we find out, ooh, you know what? We're going to lay off 17,000 employees. Well, how's that? I thought we were negotiating. Yeah, we are.

But we're going to lay off another 17,000 employees. You know, you guys are still striking. And we are delaying development of our 7-7, our triple-7x aircraft. I like the sound of that triple 7X aircraft. And we're going to haul production for the future 767 orders. So you guys can keep talking if you want. But all these people are going to be out of work until you come back to work from your strike. Okay?

All right, good. Why can't politicians just be, I don't know. What's the word I'm looking for? I don't know. Honest. You know, last week, the Michigan governor, Gretchen Whitmer, who is a nightmare in and of herself, was on that stupid chip. chat podcast with Liz Plank.

And they, of course, you know, their big discussion was abortion, which is great. We want to talk about how we can kill babies. Fine. And she even joked about giving her daughter's post-birth abortions. I mean, while, you know, not funny to many, she's just trying to be funny. I get it. In the video, though, you see where Whitmer is placing a Dorito into Plank's mouth while Plank Neals,

followed by the camera panning to Whitmer, who's wearing her Harris-Walt's hat. and, you know, everyone was saying that it was bashing the Catholic faith for communion. I personally did not think that. I did not take it that way. I just thought that it was a stupid bit that this Liz Plank was doing on her podcast. Well, come to find out, there's a trend on TikTok where people eat food from friends' hands in a suggestive matter, followed by awkward reactions.

okay and so and then all it did to me when I saw the video was want to sing the nelly song dilemma because I guess the trend is dilemma and that's why the music from nelly's dilemma was underneath the video I don't know that's what I was that's what I was reading about but when I get to reading about Whitmer's reaction is where I think just tell the truth that it was a stupid bit that you were part of you got caught up in the moment for this podcast with this Liz plank and this was a stupid TikTok uh and she could say stupid or she could say it was just a you know it's just a trending thing on tic-tok social media that i played a part of probably shouldn't have looking back on it but i did sorry was in no means

uh slam to catholicism but she then says you know that it was that she wasn't uh you know she wasn't blasting catholicism and by any means would she never blast catholicism she's 25 years in public service she would never do anything to denigrate someone's faith Oh, really? Because does abortion denigrate some people's faith? Oh, never mind. I won't ask those questions. I know. Too deep. So she claimed that she wasn't about Catholicism, which I do believe. But then she goes on to say, really, it was claimed the Dorito reference was tied to the Chips Act, which aims to boost semiconductor production.

Really? That's what you're going to want us to believe? that you did this stupid TikTok Mick with this podcaster and it was, I thought it was about the Chips Act. You know, the act that aims to boost semiconductor production. Is that the same semiconductor production that you're bringing in the Chinese company

in Michigan and then handing over all the land and everything to them? Is that part of your Chips Act, their governor? Okay. All right. I mean, they just can't, they just can't even lie right. It's just sad, sad, really. Boarding for flight 246 to Toronto is delayed 50 minutes.

Concerned by your gambling or that if someone close, you call 186653310 or visit comics ontario.com. Okay, so crispy cream. We talked about crispy cream and their deal with McDonald's and they claim now that we're going to have crispy cream donuts available at 1,000 McDonald's restaurants by the end of this year

and at 12,000 locations by the end of 2026. I guess some McDonald's in the Chicago area are going to start serving donuts tomorrow. October 15th, 2024, which, you know, if you're listening today, today is the 14th of October. So,

McDonald's around the country are accepting a deal. So this is going on, oh, today's the last day. Oh, no. So if you went to McDonald's, if you went to McDonald's, anyone in the country in the United States

from October 10th through today, and keep the receipt, you can go to a Krispy Kreme and get a free glazed donut when you show the paper or digital receipt from the McDonald's order that you placed in that time frame. Wow. Okay. So they've given away a free donut if you go to McDonald's because, I mean, they announced back in March that they were going to, you know, work together. And the donuts were on their way. I mean, Krispy Kreme had to fire up their machines and the delivery process. No doubt about that.

to eventually keep all the McDonald's filled with fresh crispy creams and delivered on time? Amazing. It's a big job. And they're going to do it too. It was a big deal. So you can still get a free crispy cream today, the 14th of October,

with just your McDonald's receipt taking it into your local crispy cream. And don't worry, you'll soon be able to go into McDonald's and get yourself a donut and a Big Mac. That thing says America. Like getting yourself a Big Mac and a crispy cream. Am I right? Yeah, of course I am.

I see where Domino's, speaking of food, I see where Domino's is going to, they continued their emergency pizza program. They had that big deal, I don't know, last year or the year before, where customers got a free two-topping pizza whenever they needed most. Well, now they've extended it through January 19th of 2025.

Customers who place an online delivery order or a digital carryout order for $7.99 or more, will earn a free pizza on a future order. That would be your emergency pizza program. So customers have 30 days to use the offer in their Domino's Rewards account. It's limited to one per person and can't be used on Halloween or New Year's Eve.

So there's that. I just had a Domino's pizza not very long ago for the first time in a long, long time. It was a thin crust. Pepperoni. It was really good. I know. I'm not, I've not, usually not a big Domino's fan. Domino's, you know, is, I don't know where it would rank. It's usually Papa Johns. There's a local place here that makes really good pizza that we get from time to time. Little Caesars is down at the bottom of the list, really. I mean, Sam's Club pizza is better than that. But the dominoes I had the other day, the thin crust. And it was like, I don't know, seven bucks for a small or medium. I forget what size it was.

It was really good. So maybe Dominoes is trying to make, you know, make the turnaround. And go back to the Dominoes we used to know and love 100 years ago. So we'll see. We'll see. But you can get yourself your emergency pizza from Domino's through January 19th of 2025. Be sure to follow me on my social media sites at Jeff EJFR on X.

I need something cold to drink. desperately. So this past weekend, as I said, if you're listening live today, is the 14th of October, 2024.

This past weekend was the Game of Thrones auction. Remember we talked about all the stuff that the Game of Thrones was going, or that Heritage Auctions was going to auction off from the Game of Thrones. The series in the auction brought in over $21 million. Wow. Okay, so the top dollar item was the throne, the Iron Throne. They had a six-minute bidding war on the Iron Throne sold for $1.49 million. Wow. So they had brought in $21.1 million, more than 4,500 bidders. The auction marked Heritage's second best entertainment event. Now, I will give you a million dollars that I don't have. I don't even have close to a million dollars. In fact, I'll give you a negative. I'm farther away from a million than someone who's on their way to a million.

But that would give you a million dollars. If you can tell me what the record-setting heritage auction entertainment bidding event was for. Because there's no way I knew this. The record set was, and Game of Thrones is second now, behind the record-setting Debbie Reynolds' a sale from 2011. I'd like to see the numbers on that. It can't be. It cannot be that much, that far behind.

We have to look that up. Okay, here we go. So in 2011, Debbie Reynolds auctioned off her Hollywood memorabilia. She had Marilyn Monroe's subway dress. That went for $4.6 million. Aubrey Hepron, My Fair Lady Gown. sold for 3.7 million. Wow, she had a lot of stuff.

And it totaled $22.8 million. So Game of Thrones was 21.1. So she was $1.7 million more than the Game of Thrones. Okay. Then I feel a little bit better. I wanted to know the numbers on that. So they were all found out. John Snow's signature sword, long claw,

that he wielded on screen. sold for 400,000. His night watch ensemble, which would be cool to have, with the heavy cape, went for $337,500. Both items kicked off a prolonged bidding war. Starting bids range from $500 to

$20,000. Several items went for thousands of dollars more. The cloaks, the dresses, worn by, oh yeah, worn by Amelia Clark and as Danarius Targaryen and Lena Hedias, Circe, Lannister. Yeah, they all went. went for over $100,000, easy.

Cersie wears your final appearance, the red velvet dress. That went for $122,500. Oh, no, I'm sorry, I apologize. I went for $137,500. Wow, okay, suits of armor. Jamie Lannister's black leather armor ensemble, fetch $275,000 and his King's Guard armor. Yeah, $212,000.

The Queen's Guard armor worn by the mountain, $212,500, that would be cool to have. So, I mean, everything is sold now. We've gotten rid of the dust figures from Game of Thrones. And it still came in second place to Debbie Reynolds. Wow.

So one of the shows that I've been watching just ended A Bad Monkey on Apple Plus with what's his face Vince Vaughn and it was really good 10 episodes I really enjoyed the 10 episodes of Bad Monkey

Will there be a season two I don't know They have not announced Whether there's going to be a season two It ended So they could pick up Right where they left off For a season two

And it also ended Where you just leave it like that And it's over And you just enjoy the season one I was bummed One or two people died That I did not want to die in the show. I know I won't give you a spoiler yet, but

why not? It's already over, Jeff. I know, but you know, maybe you haven't gone to Apple Plus to watch it, but well worth the watch. It was fun. And Vince Vaughn was great in it, and there were plenty of really good characters throughout the show. So a bad monkey on Apple TV Plus, really good 10 episodes, well worth the watch. So I know all the new shows for the networks are hitting the screens, at least have started hitting the screens and I think this week and next are the you know the big time uh releases of the shows for the new season but I was reading where reality TV is starting to take a hit I know uh I guess series orders peaked at 637 in Q2 of 2022 they plummeted only 493 in a quarter 2 of 2024

uh Darcy and Stacy which I mean who doesn't love that show the The D. Amelia Show and F. Boy Island have all gotten the axe. I don't know that I've watched. I think I've watched an episode of F. Boy Island. The D. Amelia Show and Darcy and Stacey, I don't think I've watched an episode of those. The newcomers, like Couple to Thruple, are facing indefinite holds, so they're not going to do a new one of Couple to Thruple. 86% of some sound pros clients' rosters have vanished in just three years. years. Wow. So there's a big deal, major shakeup on the unscripted world. And they call it

unscripted world. It's pretty much scripted, but we get that, right? You do. And production companies are packing their bags, many leaving L.A. and NYC for cheaper filming locations, both domestically and internationally. Interesting. Interesting, isn't it? You've got the end of peak TV, a peak, you know, reality TV. You got studio consolidation, streaming disruptions, what they call the post-pandemic correction. Yeah, because people are not in their homes watching whatever the hell they want when they can watch.

Budget tightening and raising costs. Advertising shifts. So we'll see. I know they're not throwing in the towel on reality TV, no way. But we'll just see what happens with that. And there was news that Netflix was going to. change how they dealt with new programming. I think Netflix was trying to walk that back a little bit.

But times are changing. And you can quote me on that. Times are changing. And they're changing into where Fandango is launching a new movie ticket membership program, the Fandango Fan Club. So for a monthly fee, everybody wants a monthly fee, for $9.99 a month, fan club members will receive $10 movie ticket promo code per month. Okay, so I'm paying $9.99 a month and then I get a $10 movie ticket promo

code per month and waived convenience fees on all ticket purchases. Okay. New monthly membership program, Fandango Fan Club, to reward moviegoers with new savings on movie ticket purchases and more. What is the and more? Starting today, and this was last week, the story last week, Anyone who purchases a ticket. So it's available as we speak. Anyone who purchases a ticket on Fandango will present it with an offer to unlock savings with FanClub

for a monthly fee of $9.99. Fan club members will receive one $10 movie ticket promo code per month and waive convenience fee. What are those convenience fees? What are the more perks? Early access to special bundles and offers planned for coming months. They're not saving anybody any money.

Unless, you know, I guess you you paying 10 bucks to get the ticket and you're saving convenience fees for other tickets that you're purchasing to go see the films, that's saving you money? Okay. So the promotional movie tickets will be delivered to fan club members via email once their membership benefits kick in will be good to use for up to 30 days from the issued date. Ticket purchasers with limited time offer of two free movie tickets to use on any format. Okay, so if you sign up now and I don't know, I don't I guess it's still available. It may or may not be.

You get an extra ticket. See benefits going to 30 days. He's constantly looking for new ways and exciting ways. This does not sound like this is that good of a deal. But hey, okay, Fandago, good for you. Keep it up. I mean, Fandango offers tickets for more than 31,000 screens nationwide and is offering a seven-day free trial with waived fees on one purchase of up to four tickets.

I don't know. It doesn't, this, if I, the benefits of the deal doesn't seem worth the $9.99. I mean, you're saving what? Maybe, okay, so you spend $9.99, you get a ticket. And then I buy, let's say, three more tickets to go to the movies. I'm saving, um, I'm saving convenience fees, which is what, a couple of bucks? Uh, is that worth it? You know, if a couple bucks is worth it, then, yeah, do it.

but I feel like they better start making the deal a little bit a little bit more shiny. Otherwise, it's going to go away fast. 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. Marshals, we get the deals. You gift the good stuff.

So as I'm surfing the web this weekend, I run across the death clock, and I almost filled it out. Have you ever asked yourself, when will I die? Our advanced life expectancy calculator will accurately predict your death date for you depending on where you live, how much you smoke and your lifestyle to show your own death clock countdown.

To predict your death date, simply input your date of birth, sex, smoking habits, your BMI, and the country you live in. If you don't know your BMI, simply used a BMI calculator form. And I almost filled out the death clock. I went to see, when will I die? And then I thought, what am I doing? Stop it. I don't want to know.

If you do, it's out there. Deathclock.org. Death dash clock.org. It's probably more of them other than this one. Also on their home screen, it says the letter you see reveals your ADHD type. And it has X, K, or R. And I see a K, but I don't know what that means. And I'm not going to take the test because I know I have ADHD.

It's okay. I've lived with it forever. and I'm like 100 years old now. Well, I think today marks 125. Anyway, and so it's okay. My ADHD is just part of my life. It's all good. I'm not going to fill out your form.

But I almost filled out the death clock. I don't want to know. And I mean, if you want to know, have that it. I mean, I kind of want to know. Like, if I could know without filling out everything and then just kind of peek at what the death clock says so that I can either believe it or not believe it, then, you know, I'm good.

But I don't want to fill out everything because then I feel like I'm asking for it. So if I could go see, you know, like a psychic and they could, you know, hold my hand and go, oh, yeah, ooh, whatever a psychic, you know, you go to a psychic and the psychic starts out with, oh, yeah, just stop and walk. walk out right then. Don't take any more.

Okay, I have been a Walking Dead fan forever. You know that we still do Talking Walking Dead, although our schedules have kind of, we've kind of neglected the last couple weeks. So we will get Talking Walking Dead with Jason Butchell and my son Maximus back up and running this week because Daryl is back up, the book of Carol. And it's been really good, really enjoyable. And I love talking about it. And so Talking Walking Dead will get back up. So back off me. We'll have an episode this week. But how many times on our Talking Walking Dead podcast have we said they should have

Halloween costumes and Halloween characters and they should do that. Well, now apparently, Tadda! Of course, the AMC Networks has teamed up with Luxanthropi, Luxanthroppy, at L-U-X-A-N-T-H-R-O-P-Y, to launch an exclusive sale of 30 authentic, walker costumes and a portion of the sales will be donated to uh uh wc kitchen which is world central kitchen and i've been crying for this for years and they finally oh you know what we should do we should come up with some Halloween characters and stuff and get costumes from our walkers and our

characters and stuff because people have been dressing up as your main characters for years and you haven't really provided them with any authentic merchandise to use in their character uh makeup they just do it on their own. I mean, my son was Neagan, and he was awesome looking like Negan with the leather jacket and the bat and the whole thing. But it wasn't, it was no thanks to you AMC Networks, I'll tell you that. And now they're finally decided, oh, you know what? I think we should have some Walker outfits for Halloween. Yeah, good idea. Good idea. AMC. You know, another story that was, I don't know, printed in the, it was detailed in the mega journal of surgery, according to scipost.org.

So, I mean, we've heard from a lot of scientists today. This in particular was detailed in the mega journal of surgery. The man in Austria reportedly amputated his own man part with an axe after ingesting a hefty dose of psychedelic mushrooms. Huh. So he had some psychedelic mushrooms. And then apparently he... severed his man part off with an axe. Now, I guess he kept the man part in a jar of snow after eating the magic mushrooms and then

cutting his man part off and then kept it in a jar of snow. So, according to this, doctors in Austria were able to reattach the severed man part. So the patient's shocking story was is the first of its kind, according to cypost.org. And according to the detailed report of it in the mega journal of surgery, the 37-year-old man was reportedly suffering from depression, I'll say, and alcohol abuse at the time of his psychotic break. psilocybin is a naturally occurring compound in so-called magic mushrooms with the power to thrust humans into hallucinatory states if ingested. It works by altering the brain's serotonian receptors, alternating our senses and heightening emotions. throughout history, several indigenous cultures have used the drugged in spiritual seminars

and to bring enlightenment to the physically ill. Yeah, yeah. And I guarantee, I don't know that the indigenous cultures were chopping their bamparts off. Maybe they weren't as depressed. I don't know. So if you're thinking to yourself, man, I am depressed. And you know what will help magic mushrooms? You might want to think again, because I don't think you want to be chapping your man parts off.

for the Chicago Marathon by running 26.2 miles in two hours, nine minutes, and 56 seconds. Now, I'll give you three guesses, and the first two don't count on what country she's from. Kenya, yes, you are congratulations. Yes, now, you might have said Ethiopia because the record holder was from Ethiopia in the Berlin Marathon, but sorry about that. The Kenyans are the top in Marathon running, and they're top again.

The female Kenyan won the female edition of the Chicago Marathon. and the male. Kenyon won the Chicago Marathon on the mail side as well. He won the race in a time of two hours, two minutes, and 44 seconds. And so they were all running in honor of the late Kelvin Kippem, another Kenyan superstar runner who died in a car accident a few months ago after setting a world record in last year's Chicago Marathon. I mean, his record last year, two hours and 35 seconds.

He blasted. I mean, John this year, the Kenyon who won it, was like a minute, two minutes over that. Man, you wouldn't even be able to see him. When Kelvin crossed the line, you couldn't even see John last year. But congratulations to all the Kenyans for running their marathons and winning in Chicago. And I know, congratulations to everyone else who just runs marathons because they enjoyed and they're racing against their own time. That's unbelievable to me.

How anyone could want to run out of just for fun? No, thank you. There were some great college football games this weekend. That is for sure. A lot of fun watching college football this weekend. Texas remains number one in the country. Oregon moves up to number two in the country. Penn State, Ohio State, and Georgia,

rounding out the top five. Congratulations to Pat Gray's BYU, BYU, 13th. They actually should be 10th in the country. The 12th, 11th, 10th, and 9th teams,

Iowa State, Clemson, Tennessee, and Notre Dame have all lost. BYU has not lost. Okay, they should be 10th. Maybe even 9th, because LSU, well, Alabama's lost one too. They're really good teams.

I know they're really good teams. There's not a lot of movement can take place because all these teams won. But when they lose that second game, BYU continues to win. need to be moving up that ranking. My Missouri Tigers are still 19th, well, they moved up a couple. They're still in the top 25, is what I meant to say.

And they're 19th right now. They beat a UMass team that's, I don't know, a high school team, and we didn't even hang 70 on them. So I'm a little disappointed. We'll see how things go next week against Auburn. And then Army Navy, the Army team and the Navy team separately are both in the top 25. Army is the 23rd ranked team and Navy is the 25th ranked team. They're both undefeated.

That, I mean, if they stay undefeated until they play each other, that would be awesome. That'll make that a great game. Anyway, some great college football. NFL was still going on. There's been, there was some pretty good NFL games yesterday as well, and some terrible ones as well. I love the fact that the Dallas Cowboys, I mean, were embarrassed in afternoon drive. And I will say this, as a side note,

on Tom Brady being a color commentator, he is kind of coming into his own. You know, he sounds so much better than he did the first couple of weeks. He's found his rhythm. He's found the idea of how he could still be Tom Brady, talk about how he did things, and do it in that 20-second time frame between plays.

Really good. I was really impressed with Tom. He's gotten a lot better. Big surprise. Tom Brady is getting better at what he does. I know. Okay, so tomorrow we have to talk about robots. I didn't do hardly any robot talk on Friday.

I should have. I did a lot of robot talk on Pat Gray unleashed in the overtime show. I didn't really get to it on chewing. We've got to talk about that. I loved Elon's Tesla Optimist Robot. I want one desperately. And we also have to talk about, I mean, he, SpaceX launched a starship yesterday and caught it, caught the booster rocket back at the launch pad.

It was incredible. I know it doesn't seem like that big of a deal, but it really is. It's no one thought he could do it. He talked about it a couple years ago, and he did it. So the super heavy booster detached from the starship and began to come back to Earth. And then the starship continued on its voyage. And Starship made a controlled splash landing in the Indian Ocean. It was supposed to do.

But on its descent, the booster used four fins to steer itself. into the right waiting arms of the two chopsticks, which gave it a bear hug similar to the one you get from a, ah, just got the bear hug. And it's the first time that SpaceX attempted to catch the booster back at the launch tower. So now, before the boosters were coming to those launch pads out in the ocean, nope, no longer we're going to bring them back to the launch pad.

That is so freaking cool. And, you know, before we're wasting millions, of dollars on expendable boosters and you never use them ever again. Now Elon was like, well, we need to reuse these bad boys. Yeah, we can reuse them. So that is awesome. And I know that Starship is, you know,

part of NASA's ambitions. Yeah, Elon is helping that out. Even I see where California, what a bunch of duches. The California Coastal Commission, and I love them, rejected a request from the Air Force for additional launches Oh, oh, because he launches some from Texas, some from Florida, and some from California. And it was not because the nation and the community

would not benefit from them. Rather, it was reportedly because, according to one commissioner, Musk has aggressively injected himself into the presidential race. So? This is not about that, but it is for them. Very, very, very, very sad. And I see, sadly, this pisses me off so much. And I love him.

And maybe I got to say, maybe I'm falling out of love with Elton John. Elton John publicly renounced the Rocket Man. No, not the 1972 song. He called Elon Musk an asshole at an award ceremony. Sir Elton, 77. And let's see, one of the celebrities and punists to denounce Musk for his support of former President Donald Trump. See, when Elton said not long ago that he was, that he laughed at Donald telling Kim Jong-un that he was a rocket man.

He thought it was funny. Everybody thought, oh, see, he's friends with Elton. He likes the fact that Donald Trump comes to his shows. And he likes the fact that Trump talks good about him, but he doesn't like the fact that Donald Trump was president. Here's the deal. Elton John, is he even a citizen of the United States? I don't think so.

I mean, maybe he does have a citizenship here in the U.S. But I just, here you go, Elton. Why don't you shut your face? All right. I love you. I love your music. You know, I got it. You're, you know, you're all out, you're all in for AIDS and you're probably all in for abortions.

But just shut your face on American politics. I've had enough of you and your ilk, okay? Because as we saw, what's his face this weekend, too? And what's his face from Breaking Bad? Brian Cranston. He's out there promoting Kamala Harris because he's for abortion. He wants his. his daughter to be able to kill their grand kid.

Isn't it special? He's for abortion. That's great. Good for you, Brian. Ugh. You and Elton can go traipsing down the happy trail yourselves, okay? Together hand in hand. Okay, sorry.

I got carried away there a little bit. And so we might as well get out of here and end it today. Thank you for coming along for the ride today. I'll give you a quick joke for the day. Actually, it goes with the death clock. So. That's a joke about dying. Well, you know how funny those are.

I already know how it will end. One of my children will unplug my life support to charge their phone. Think about it. Stream and subscribe to more Blaze Media content at theblaze.com slash podcasts.
