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. This almost sounds like it could be in America, but it isn't. It's in a small Italian village in, uh, in,

named Bill Castro. But they have been ordered to avoid contracting any illness that may require emergency medical assistance. Oh, okay. Well, we've just banned it, so that'll be good. It does sound like something that would happen in, oh, I don't know, California. But it hasn't. This is actually the Italian village of Belcastro, as I said. So the mayor said, ah, that was just.

I was trying to be humorous. I was just trying to be humorous because I have got, you know, 1,200 residents that are over the age of 65, and there's no place for them to get help if they get sick. So just don't get sick, okay? Yeah, man, I wish we could help you, but we can't. So according to this, 18 of the regents, hospitals have closed since 2009. As a result, almost half of Calabria's near 2 million residents

seek medical assistance outside the region. And in 2022, it was announced that Cuba would send 497 doctors to the Italian region over three years to work in various medical facilities. Oh, okay. What's Cuba going to do? I don't know the answer to that. We're just shipping doctors out of Cuba to go to Italy. Okay, good. So just be careful that if you live in Bel Castro, Italy, you don't get sick. Don't get sick. Okay, sorry.

You need to not engage in behaviors that may be harmful and to avoid domestic accidents. And here you go, don't leave the house. In fact, don't leave the house too often because travel or sports and, you know, just go ahead and stay home and just rest. Ah, we live in amazing times, don't we? Yes, yes, we do. Welcome. Welcome to chewing the fat. Just when you think you don't have to worry about it anymore, it comes roaring back and slaps you in the face one more time. My man, Alec Baldwin. And yes, when I say his full name, you're going to hear the gunshot.

And if I say his first name, you're going to hear the gun cocking. Because those are the rules of the show. Ever since, I don't know, 2021, when the case started, the Rust case, when Helena Hutchins lost her life due to an accidental shooting on the set of rust. We have since had a couple of people from the film crew. The armorer and the assistant director have been convicted of criminal charges and the armorer, you know, jail time. But our man, Alex, has now filed a lawsuit against the prosecutor.

of the Rust case. It's a civil lawsuit for malicious, malicious, I say the word properly, malicious prosecution and civil rights violations in the fatal shooting of cinematographer Helena Hutchins on the set of the Western movie Rust. The lawsuit was filed in state district court in Santa Fe, New Mexico,

where a judge in July dismissed the charge. Right? I mean, the trial began July 10th of last year. And then a couple days later, the judge said, yeah, you guys did not properly turn over evidence to the defense. Ah, we're dismissing all charges. Okay, have a nice day. It's over then. I mean, the insurance money is settled. We've paid money to Hutchins family. People have spent time in jail. It was a terrible, terrible accident. And, but no, we have to continue on with this. This means that he needs money.

I don't know how much money he's making for his reality show with the Baldwin's or whatever the heck it's called. But this means that he still needs money. And he is going to get it no matter what. According to his attorneys, the prosecution was supposed to be about search for truth and justice, not to pursue personal or political gain or harass the innocent. uh, Carrie Morrissey and other defendants violated that basic principle over and over and trampled on

Alec Baldwin's rights. I'm not sure that that one counts. It was in the story. Anyway, uh, they claim that, uh, they are bringing this action to hold the defendants accountable

for their misconduct and to prevent them from doing this to anyone else. Uh-huh. So, uh, There's no mention of what, you know, what the amount that they're looking for. And, of course, people in Santa Fe have not responded to this yet. But we're just dragging this case out even longer. And we're just going to drag Helena Hutchins out and her accidental terrible death out even longer instead of being done with it.

It's really sad. And you should be ashamed of yourself. Alec Baldwin. So as we speak here on chewing the fat today on the 10th of January, 2025, Friday, the fires are still raging in Southern California and Los Angeles. There are conflicting reports about how much is contained and what's happening. The last report I saw was 6% of the Palisades fire has been contained, but we still have strong winds going. So I'm not sure if that's even true. But, I mean, we have hundreds of thousands being evacuated.

And many of the fires, I think, two or three of the other fires that have started up are considered zero percent contained. J.P. Morgan said that, well, the economic losses so far are going to be at least $50 billion. Wow. and would make it the costliest wildfire in history. I mean, the campfire from 2018, the insurance damages was $12.5 billion. So, I mean, that's going to be the biggest ever. And it's going to be the insurance company's fault. That's all.

And good luck getting all your money because all the money people that were insured under the Californians fair plan. Good luck. That's a limited fire insurance program anyway. It's going to be horrific and I feel terrible for anyone involved. I know Mercury 1 is still out there. In fact, Mercury 1 posted this morning or last night that they're not going to leave any Americans behind and they want you to know that we are, they're still in Maui.

They're still in North Carolina. And they will be aiding Southern California and Los Angeles too. So if you want to help and you don't know how to help, you can help by donating to Mercury 1. Mercury 1.org. 100% of your funds will go to helping the victims of whatever natural disaster you point the money to. That's the way Mercury 1 works.

I did see. And, you know, it's nice. I want to make fun of it, but it is nice. I see where Prince Harry and Megan Markle are opening up their home. I mean, to friends, not just anybody. Oh, no, no, no, no, no. You and I couldn't go drive up to the gate and say, hey, Harry, Megan, listen, I was displaced on the fire,

and I was wondering if I could come in and, you know, hang out with you in your nine-bedroom, 16-bath estate there in a... Montecito. Could we do that? Not a chance. They went out and they talked about all the charities that they're helping and how people can get help and how they're trying to help. And I want to make fun of it, but they are doing, I guess, what they can. I don't know what I expected them to do. They could just do nothing and they're definitely not doing that. Their estate is gorgeous. I mean, those Montecito estates are just gorgeous. And they're not in the firepath, although they could be. they definitely could be and the water could actually you know be shut down in their neck of the woods

they don't know that yet in california if that's going to happen but uh just looking at their estate is just gorgeous and i don't think they spent uh well i'm pretty sure they didn't spend 15 million on the dump i think they broke i think they only paid i think they paid under 15 million for the estate. So good for them. And, you know, I know I'm supposed to be, you know, I'm trying to make fun of them, but I can't. Because they're actually, you know,

they're trying to help as best they can. And I do mean that. It just strikes me funny when, you know, the hoity-toits reach out and try to pretend like they're just one of us. Yeah. Security, somebody's at the gate that we don't know. Get rid of them, please.

Just tell the pretext. person at the gate that if they need they need to help or want to help, they can get a hold of Jose Andres' World Central Kitchen or Cal Fire and the Los Angeles Fire Department Foundation. Those are helping support local firefighter, stuff like that. And, you know, they want to take care of animals and everything.

So, I mean, they are trying to be nice, but it just strikes me funny that they've got, you know, nine baths. They've got plenty of room to pitch some tents. on that property, I'll tell you that. And I can guarantee you that ain't going to happen. A couple of other observations from this horrific L.A. fire situation. I know everybody is, you know, going after David Muir, ABC's newsman,

head of ABC News, I guess. He's their anchor because there's a shot of him doing a live report in California with his ABC yellow kind of, you know, raincoat. fire jacket on and he turns to show what's happening behind him and you can see that he's got this giant close pin uh you know keeping the jacket tight so that he looks uh they claim as well he looking svelt on the camera so he's not got this bulky jacket on and you know i i don't know i don't think it's that bad uh you know he's on he's on tv he's got to look presentable that jacket if it's too big for them it's going to be blowing and bulky and making all kinds of noise

with the microphone it might be a microphone wire uh underneath the jacket as well within that clothes pin so i know you know it looks bad and it's funny but i you know i kind of understand it but it's david muir and uh so you know we go ahead and make fun of them and the other headline that just drives me insane and i just maybe it's just me i know it could be just me uh but the headline is homeless man with the flame thrower busted on suspicion of arson near L.A.'s Kenneth fire after residents detain him. Well, good on the residence for detaining this guy. They had him in a, I mean, they had him down.

He was not going anywhere, okay? And I just have a, I have a question. All right. How does a homeless guy get a flamethrower? That's just me. Maybe he had it before he became homeless and he's just been carrying around this flamethrower for however long he's been homeless. and he decided, you know what?

Today's the day I'm going to use my flamethrer and start a few more fires. I just, just weird to me. That's all. Just weird. And I did see your email there. ML 77721. I did see your email.

I don't know what that stands for or what it means if there was 77,720 other MLs. But or if that's a lot of, a specific number, but anyway, that's the email, and I appreciate it. Thank you. I did see it. You emailed chewing the fat at the blaze.com. He sent me a listing, an interesting listing from Palisades, California, and it said that the listing on Zillow was 31 days old, and they showed the fire hydrant. It is interesting, and I, you know, again, I don't want to, I'm trying to smile through tragedy, but this particular house,

on Zillow was, they were asking 2,600,000 for it. But one of the photos, the number two of seven photos for this house, showed the fire hydrant. And it is interesting thinking about that now if that fire hydrant actually worked. And how could you, what are you getting for that land now? What are you getting for it now? It certainly isn't going to be 2,600,000, that's for sure. The whole thing is just sad.

And so much of it is preventable or was preventable, but these duffices that they've put in charge out there, and really it's not just California duffices, it's national duffices as well. But let's just blame, let's just take a look at, the good thing coming from this is it shows what many people have been saying for years, the ineptitude of these leaders, and they're doing nothing but fleecing Americans

and state, citizens out of money and provide nothing in return. And this is, you know, as terrible as it is, hopefully it's shining a light on that because these people are terrible. It's hockey season, and you can get anything you need delivered with Uber Eats. Well, almost, almost anything. So no, you can't get a nice rank on Uber Eats.

You know, since I can't get enough of terrible today, let's talk about President Joe Biden. So he was out in California

and getting a briefing on the wildfires in Southern California, but that's not why he was there. He was there because his great, grandchild was being born or was born. His granddaughter, Naomi Biden, I'm sorry, Naomi Biden Neil, gave birth to her first child a boy with husband Peter Neil at Cedars Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles. And it's not just a hospital.

It's a medical center. The baby's name is William Brannon Neal 4th. Okay, that's a good name, though. Billy Brannon, but official name William Brannon Neil the 4th. And it is Joe Biden and I guess Jill Biden's great-grandson. So he was there for that. He wasn't there because of the fires. That was just a secondary thing.

Oh, we got these fires out here? Yeah, you know what? I'll go to a briefing about that as well. Yeah, you know, I visited New Orleans to mourn with the community after the deadly New Year's Day vehicle attack, and then I'll fly out to California and see my great grandchild, and that'll be good. So Naomi is, and this is a great grandchild that he acknowledges, right? This is Hunter's kid that he acknowledges, and so he has to acknowledge the child that Hunter's kid that he acknowledges has, because he doesn't acknowledge Navy from Hunter's Trist.

from the stripper. Anyway, Naomi Biden, 31, the eldest daughter of Hunter. Wow, he's got a 31-year-old son. I know how you feel, Hunter. And his former wife, Kathleen Buell, now Hunter Biden, is now a grandfather. He has four children, including a four-year-old, of course, son Bo, who is now an uncle. So Biden is believed to be the first sitting president to become a great grandfather while in office. Isn't that great? I mean, Naomi and Peter got married at the White House, so they had to, you know, they had to go acknowledge their kid. That's great.

And the reason that you know that he was out there for the baby and not the fires is that they had said, well, she's having a cesarean section that day. So they knew that the baby was going to be born that day. It was not like, oh, she's going into labor, we have to go out there. No, it was a planned birth. So just incredible. Congratulations to Joseph Robinette Biden, our president, our still sitting president,

as he becomes the first sitting president to be a great grandfather. And welcome to the world, William Brennan Neal the fourth. And as long, we were going to stick on terrible. But it's just, it's, it is terrible. The judge Mershan in New York, the Manhattan judge, has sentenced Donald Trump to no penalty today for his conviction for concealing a hush money payoff that hit a sex scandal from voters, making the president-elect the first person convicted of a felony to assume the White House. So there's no penalty, nothing. unconditional discharge. So no prison time, no probation, no conditions.

He said, I wish you, Godspeed as you assume a second term in office. But what this does do is mean that since there's been a sentencing, that means that he is a convicted felon and everybody can say, yay. President Trump is a convicted felon and he's a terrible person. person and the Supreme Court denied postponing this. So now he'll be able to go on and appeal the verdict. And Trump issued a statement saying how terrible it was. And we all know it was terrible. And the only protesters that were there in Manhattan were people waving Trump flags

and they were there for Donald Trump. So the whole thing backfired on all of them. All these cases backfired on the Democrats. So Trump is now a convicted felon. from the state of New York and he will be president in 10 days officially. Just a side note, we are

finally done dragging Jimmy Carter around the country. He had, you know, he died last week at the age of 100, rest in peace to former president Jimmy Carter and they dragged him all over Georgia and then they dragged him up to D.C. And they had his funeral yesterday

and you've all seen the pictures of all the presidents and how they all reacted ignoring Trump and they hate him. And we saw Al Gore, we saw Mike Pence. And I didn't see at the time of Justin Trudeau was there. And they all side-eyed Trump and Kamala was there. She was pissed that Donald was talking to Barack. And Doug was stuck there kind of in between just looking straight ahead.

I mean, it was the whole thing was just awkward and really, really full of tension. So it was kind of fun to see. But then after the funeral, yesterday they dragged him back to Georgia and they did their funeral walk and they buried him next to Rosalind. So it's finally, it's finally over. So rest and peace to former president, Jimmy Carter. All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink desperately. Weird how on the same day that WWE's Monday night, Ross, it was announced that they brought in 2.6 million U.S. viewers in their Netflix debut,

which is more than double than their 2024 average. I would have guessed more viewers to Monday Night Raw, but 2.6 million is pretty good. And I did tune in for a little bit of that just to see the debut. And it was incredible. They did a great job. And so more eyes are coming to the WWE and live event. on Netflix for sure.

But the original debut of Monday Night Raw brought in 2.6 million U.S. viewers as what Netflix said. But it's weird how Disney then came out with an announcement that said so. That's not what they said. But to me, that's how I read it. Our streaming platforms have a combined 157 million global users subscribing to ad-supported tiers. Now, that's the first time that Disney has devolved any of that information. So Disney, it's streaming platforms, and they have got a bunch, a combined 157 million global users subscribing to ad-supported tiers.

That's an interesting breakup of those numbers. So, I guess that means they're trying to say we're catching up to Netflix. I mean, Netflix has, what, 260 million global paid subscribers? I don't know how many they have for their ad-supported tiers, but it just seems like, you know, Disney's trying to, you know, play the game. Good for them. They've got an awful lot, that's for sure. But those are the numbers that we have as of today.

And according to this, Wicked, you know it, you love it, They have hauled in $70 million in its first week of video on demand sales. So that's a record for a universal release. Congratulations to Wicked. And according to the streaming services that keep track of everything, people are watching Squid Game on Netflix. Yeah, I got to get to that. I mean to be watching season two of that.

The Sex Lives of College Girls on Max. Star Wars Skeleton Crew on Disney Plus. Prime Video Beast Games. You know, I haven't watched a full episode of that. I watched about half of the first episode. It looks really, really good. Beast did a great job on this. And it looks like I need to, I'm going to continue to watch Beast games.

I just haven't had the opportunity to get back to it. People are watching Landman on Paramount. Plus. Yeah, Landman on Paramount Plus is awesome. That show has been so good. And I know people have been reviewing it. Oh, I can't take the mother and the daughter, you know, Billy Bob's wife and daughter. They are an awesome, hilarious part of the show. That's what makes it. It's so hilarious. Anyway, we're coming up on the final episode of the first season this week. So I was going to be sad to see that show go, it's been really, really good. And it's very sad.

And I could give you a, you know, in the last episode, spoiler, one of the big stars dies. I know. I know. It's sad. I thought it was going to be someone else. And nope, it's going to be him. Hulu, apparently they're watching 2020, are they?

Apple TV Plus, people are watching Silo and Peacock. People are watching The Office. Jura number two is a film that people are watching on Max. I told you my view on that. Just, holy cow. We'll just leave it at that.

You know, the whole thing just made me furious. And I can't even think about it anymore. And I'm sure if you have a vote, you know it, but the Academy Awards voting has kicked off. And they claim now that they, well, there's no clear frontrunner.

Bruteless took the best drama, and Amelia Perez grabbed the musical comedy at the globes, but now there's a flurry of, you know, guild nominations that are reshaping the awards landscape. How about you watch all of it and vote the way you should instead of the way they want you to? But, you know, we just know that if you have a vote in the Academy Awards, your vote, get your votes out there. Get your votes out there. I do not have a vote in the Academy Awards, but I would, you know, if they want to, if they want to give me one, I'm happy to do it. And the Supreme Court, I guess, is supposed to rule today whether the TikTok ban is going to go into effect.

We mentioned yesterday, I don't know, I thought Mr. Wonderful was going to buy it, and there's something, other things happen, and then TikTok is setting up another streaming site that they want people to go to if they use TikTok. Now, TikTok has said or claimed that they were going to shut down the site. unless the Supreme Court strikes down the law forcing it to sell. So we'll see. We shall see if the Supreme Court says, yeah, they either need to sell it or, you know, they can shut it down. TikTok may just shut it down to pull the plug.

Uh-huh. We'll see how that works out. And I don't know what the numbers are going to be, but they're going to be huge, but how about those college football playoff games? I mean, just awesome. Last night was the Orange Bowl, which is the college football playoff semifinals this year. Notre Dame and Penn State played last night.

The game ended 27 to 24 with Notre Dame defeating Penn State in the last few seconds of the game. It was a really fun game to watch. And then tonight from Arlington, Texas here in DFW, Texas, the University of Texas, the University of Texas, Texas takes on the Ohio State Buckeyes, and that'll be a great game to watch. So one of those two teams will play Notre Dame in the National Championship on Monday, the 20th of January. So what else happens on the 20th of January? What else happens? Oh, I know.

We have the inauguration of President Trump, and we'll have the national championship game that night as well. So the 20th is looking to be a, you know, a pretty good night. And then this weekend, we have the Super Wild Card weekend for the NFL. I am, I mean, it's a good football weekend. Saturday, tomorrow, the 11th of January, 2025. We have the Chargers taking on the Houston Texans. That's Saturday afternoon on CBS. And then tomorrow night, we have the Pittsburgh Steelers taking on the Baltimore Ravens on Amazon.

Any NFL non-streamers are going to be pissed about that. that. And then Sunday we've got Denver taking on Buffalo, which is the first game on Sunday afternoon. And then we have Green Bay taking on Philadelphia, which is Sunday afternoon. And then we have the Sunday night game, which is on NBC. The Sunday afternoon game is on Fox and the Sunday early game is on CBS. The Sunday night game, Washington taking on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on NBC. That's Sunday night football. And then Monday night, we have the Minnesota Vikings taking on the L.A. Rams, and that game has been moved. That was supposed to be played in L.A.

they're now playing that game in Phoenix due to the fires in Los Angeles. So, I don't know if they're just letting people into the game. If you have tickets to the L.A. Minnesota game in L.A., I guess you can go to Phoenix and see the game there with those tickets. I have not heard what they're doing. And so they may just tell people in Phoenix, hey, come to the game. When there's no more seating, we'll close the doors. That might actually happen.

I doubt it because it's the NFL, but it could. This episode is brought to you by Peloton. A new era of fitness is here. Introducing the new Peloton Cross Training Tread Plus, powered by Peloton IQ.

All right, a couple of animals in the news story, animals in the news story, since temperatures are, you know, falling all over the country. And we actually did have snowfall here at my house in DFW. I know there were some places around the DFW, the greater DFW area, that didn't have snow or very little. But we ended up getting about five or six inches.

You know, they were out making snowmen in the neighborhood, and everybody was all happy that it was snowing. And the roads did not freeze over. At least maybe they did early in the morning. But, you know, driving was pretty bad, especially on the side roads. But the main roads seemed a lot better than what they had predicted anyway. but I know that there was plenty of ice on some of the overpasses, which always happens, and people don't realize it, and they start sliding, and everything goes to hell.

So it's just a matter of time. We'll see how the game goes tonight, you know, how people were getting to the game. You know, it is Texas and Ohio State. The Ohio State people probably already here, and they're used to it. But the Texas people probably thought, well, we're just going to drive into Dallas and we're going to go.

So we'll see. know how bad things were over at the stadium in Arlington. So I'm sure it'll be fine. That's a cotton bowl. I'm sure it'll be fine. But to those of you that were cold in Florida, I know, every year, the temperature drops down there in South Florida and the iguanas start falling from the trees. So if you're walking along in South Florida, you know, heads up.

You don't want to be in one of those iguanas as they're sitting up in the trees. They're so cold, their bodies shut down and they just thud down the ground or your head if you happen to be walking, walking underneath them. So be careful. They get so lethargic and their bodies just continue to grip onto the tree trunks until they're too cold to do so. And then they just fall out of the tree. But, you know, don't worry about it. If you want to get rid of the iguanas, now's the time. Pick them up, throw them in the trash.

I don't know. Keep them someplace where they can't get out because they're kind of like in a frozen state. This is maybe a good research project to see if this is, you know, if we can do that to humans and put them in a cryogenic state like the iguanas get into. And then when they warm up, they crawl back. back up into the trees again if you just leave them be. So just heads up. Don't want to get, I want to get hit in the head by a 25 pound iguana falling from the tree.

You don't want to fall on your car either. So, man, be careful out there from falling iguanas. Now, another story that I saw that is fascinating to me. And because why humans first? Always humans first. That is a, that's a mantra from this show, chewing the fat of myself, Jeff Fisher. I believe in that wholeheartedly.

But apparently there are saltwater crocodiles. Crocodiles are only saltwater, Jeff. Yeah, I know. The saltwater crocodiles, no, there's some that, okay, I got it. There are reports now that these saltwater crocodiles in Indonesia are hunting humans. And what they're doing is they roll over on their backs out in the water with their feet up in the air and it looks like they're drowning. And so they're doing this to lure the humans into the water so they can attack them.

That's what they claim. So I know that these crocodiles are, you know, oh, they're intelligent. And they're very, they have great adaptability. So they may have observed humans on, you know, that's what they're doing that. and humans rush out to them, so they're trying to do that. And they're mimicking this distressed behavior. Okay.

I don't know that I believe it, but it is hilarious to me to think that these crocs are pretending to drown so that a human will jump in the water. I guess trying to save them, or maybe just think that they're dead so they could go swimming. I'm not quite sure what the crock is thinking. But here's a thing.

Anytime you see a crock, maybe you just stay out of them. the water and leave the crock alone, whether they're drowning or not. And this isn't a human, but it is kind of, who died today? Who died today? The ACDC founders, Angus and Malcolm Young, they're, no, not them. Don't look at me like that. I know.

I know. I'd be very sad if Angus has passed away. I mean, Malcolm died a few years ago, and that was really sad. No, I mean, Angus is the guy. Anyway, this is a weird story. Their childhood home in Australia in this burly square, it's a burly house, it's called. And it's their childhood home, and it's, you know, an important site of Australian rock music history has been bulldozed down. And nobody knows exactly how it happened.

Well, they know why it happened, but they all, oh, no, was that there? home. Oh man, we regret. Oh, gosh, darn it, we just didn't realize what was happening. So a few years ago, it was recognized as this National Trust historic home, but it wasn't ever, I don't know, protected under some kind of heritage program that they have in Australia. and so the area is being rebuilt up to be a nicer area than, you know, the dump that it had turned into, I guess. So this company bought, they claim they bought the house, but I think it was they bought the area. They show the space of where it was bulldozed down. And it's, they bought it for like $5.8 million, which I, you know, that house is not worth $5.8 million.

But they're starting this Burwood Square company is trying to make this whole residential development, you know, part of this $28.75 million residential development. So I don't know if that's all just going on the property that this house was on. I don't think so, though. I don't think you're spending $5.8 million on this house. However, it's possible, I guess. My question is, is that, okay, so I'm bummed. And, you know, yeah, it should be, you know, they shouldn't have torn it down.

And it's a, you know, it's a great thing that the youngs live there. And it's, you know, it's, they have a big wall built with Angus and Malcolm leaning against it in the neighborhood in this parking wall. It's a, it's this big mural that they put on, located on the side of 12 Burley Street, Burwood, which is just a few second walks from a few second walk from the house. So I'm not sure why it was demolished and how someone let that happen. And they say, it's an utter disgrace. You know, why didn't, if it was that big of a deal, really, if that was that big of a deal, why hasn't the ACDC Foundation Malcolm Angus Young Foundation purchased the home? How did this home get purchased by this building company?

And no one knew that the company. that the home was part of the deal. And then now we've decided we're just going to tear it down. And it's part of this historical thing that they have in Australia. And we just didn't know. Weird. Weird. And how does, and I know, they weren't quoting Angus in here.

Like Angus might say, so what? I don't care if that place was, you know, bulldozed out or not. Yeah, that's where we got our start. We got the hell out of there. And that may very well be the way Angus feels. And he probably figured if they wanted to save it, go ahead and save it. But I don't care. And that's very possible.

But it doesn't say that in the story. It's just a weird, weird thing that they would allow something like that to happen without knowing about it. You know, well, we regret it. Do you? I feel like if you regret it, as bad as you say you do, you wouldn't have let it happen in the first place. Boarding for Flight 246 to Toronto is delayed 50 minutes. Ugh, what? Sounds like Ojo time.

Another thing that may or may not happen this weekend, as I said, for those of you listening live today is the 10th. And we talked about, you know, the college football playoffs happening and we have the NFL playoffs happening this weekend. Well, Sunday, the 12th, we're supposed to get Blue Origin launching their debut mission of its powerful new Glenn rocket. Now, it's going to happen no earlier than Sunday because it was. was supposed to happen today. But because of weather, it had to be postponed.

So, yeah, there was some rough weather out there. And it could affect, you know, well, everything. So we're going to postpone it. So we may have this Blue Origin rocket take off Sunday morning early. The window opens up at 1 a.m. So we'll see if it actually happens. The funny thing is, it's going to do the same thing as SpaceX. has been doing for quite a while now.

So this 320 foot tall new gland, which Blue Origin has been developing for about a decade, uh-huh. It's almost like SpaceX Falcon 9. Yeah, they've already been doing it. Man, Bezos has got to be so pissed that he hasn't done this yet.

So Blue Origin is going to attempt to recover the first stage on Sunday morning, landing the booster in the Atlantic Ocean on its landing platform, vessel one. That barge is nicknamed Jacqueline after the mother of Blue Origin founder Jeff Bezos. Oh, and that's special. Yeah, that's special because, you know, Elon's been doing that now for quite some time, Jeff. So where you been? Well, we do have that to look forward to this weekend. That may or may not happen, but it will happen, you know, well, later than sooner. But,

Bezos and Blue Origin are definitely playing catch-up to Elon there, and he's got to hate every second of it. And excited at the same time as well. And we got news from our friends in Kenya, the Kenya Space Agency, who knew they had a space agency, but they do, according to this story. They have secured an area and retrieved debris for analysis because they are saying that this large, metallic object identified as a rocket separation ring measuring about

2.5 meters in diameter so there's no way to know how big it actually is 2.5 meters in diameter and weighing about 500 kilograms again there's no way to know how much weight that is crashed into the Makuku village

of Makuna Annie County Kenya. Man when you think a Makuhanee County, M-A-K-U-E-N-I County in Kenya. I mean, it's beautiful this time of year. And you hope that you don't have to call the space agency, the Kenya Space Agency, the KSA. Yeah, it's just the KSA.

That's what else would be. To help and retrieve that. But, yeah, so we still have space debris falling onto Earth. We need to get that fixed. There needs to be some trash. trash problems. We've talked about that at length on this show. And I just read a story.

I don't have it here today. I just read a story the other day, how they are hoping that lasers can be the next debris incinerator from Earth. So we're going to start shooting lasers into space to get rid of some space trash. Okay. All right. You know, fine. Do that.

But do it safely. Please. and don't accidentally shoot the laser and hit a building. Or, oh, man, was that the ISS? Gosh, darn it. We didn't mean to hit that. Man, I wish we would have known that that was the ISS. So, you know, we'll see if it actually works out.

But if you're, you know, if you're part of a Kenya space agency, I wonder how that's working out for you. Is that a big agency there in Kenya? I did not know it existed. I mean, Kenya's happening. Look, they're sending police to help us in Haiti. They've got a space agency. I mean, that's good for them.

Gosh, darn it, good for them. All right, let's get out of here.
