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. So now we're being told that scientists have discovered not only a cave, but caves plural on the moon.

And they're saying, oh, you know, it could be home for humans. Really? Yes, that's a fact. Apparently, an Italian-led team reported that there's evidence for a sizable cave accessible from the deepest known pit on the moon. It's located at the Sea of Tranquility just 250 miles from the Apollo 11th landing site. Yeah, they said it was right. It's real close to where they landed.

Yeah, 250 miles. from where they landed on the Apollo 11th landing site. The pit, more than 200 others have been discovered up there, was created by the collapse of a lava tube. I'm not going in there. Maybe you go ahead. You know what, maybe you send the people that are stuck at the ISS because of the Boeing Starliner.

They've got guts, let them send them over to the moon, and let them start crawling around into these moon caves. So researchers apparently have analyzed radar measurements by NASA's lunar reconnaissance orbiter and compared the results with lava tubes on Earth. Their findings appeared in the Journal of Nature astronomy, which, I mean, who doesn't get their copy of Journal Nature astronomy every time it comes out?

The radar data revealed only the initial part of the underground cavity, and the estimate is it's at least 130 feet wide and tens of yards long, probably more. Okay, that's great. We now believe that there are caves on the moon that could house humans, and it could be a shelter for astronauts, protecting them from cosmic rays and solar radiation, as well as micrometeorite strikes. Building the habitats from scratch would be more time. consuming and challenging, even when factoring in the potential need of reinforcing the cave walls

to prevent collapse. Yeah, I am not staying in the caves. Plus, we're saying that this could be a home for humans. It very well may be a home for non-humans already. Make sure you have the GoPro's on because I do want to see the footage of you crawling around in the moon caves. Welcome. Welcome to chewing the fat. I've been reading about the blind mystic, Babavanga, and the headline is, The End of Times will commence in 2025. Baba Vanga, also known as Vangelia Pandava Gostrova, was a blind Bulgarian clairvoyant,

the Nostradamus of the Balkans. And we've talked about Babavanga before. And apparently, you know, it's been said that she, predicted 9-11 and the war in Ukraine. Well, apparently, she has made other predictions, and she believes that the end of times will begin in 2025. Okay. Well, did she not predict that the world would end in 2023 due to nuclear bio-weapons and a solar storm? You can't help what she sees. I mean, she's just writing down what she sees. Right? Right. Well, we can't ask, Babavanga, the Nostradamus, the Nostradamus of the Balkans, because she died in 1996.

So we just know that she made these predictions before her death. So now we're saying that she also predicted that the end of the world would start in 2025. Humanity won't be wiped out until 579. Oh, okay. Well, if you look at Babavanga's timeline, 2025, a conflict in Europe will devastate the continent's population. All right, I guess that's possible. 2028, humans will begin to explore Venus as an emergency source.

We can't even get people to the ISS and back. We're going to do, we're going to explore Venus in three years. I don't think that's going to happen. 2033, the polar ice caps will melt, raising sea levels to drastic heights worldwide. 2076. Communism will spread to countries across the world. 21.30.

Humans will make alien contact. 217. Many make the case we already have. 2170, a drought will devastate much of the world. 3,05, Earth will go to war with the civilization on Mars. They must be living in caves on Mars, because we right now don't a civilization there. 3797, maybe there, maybe we'll go to war with people on the moon.

I don't know. 3797, humans will have to vacate the earth because it's become uninhabitable. And 579, the world will end. So humans go on, though the humans live on, we just don't live on earth. We're not earthlings anymore. And we've got a little bit of time. react to what's happening on this planet to maybe, I don't know, not do the things that would make us have to vacate the Earth in 3797.

So we vacate the Earth in 3797. I guess we leave a few behind and then in 579 it's over. The Earth ends. Okay. Whatever you say, I know the Mayan tribe thought the world would end in 2012, right? but that's when that's just because the calendar shut off. I think really we just, we don't need another calendar. You stop at 2012, okay, we're done.

And it's over. 2012's enough. It didn't mean that the world was going to end. They just stopped making the calendars. So we're the closest, uh, we've ever been at the doomsday clock. We're 90 seconds to midnight. So maybe Baba Vanga, the Nastradamus. of the Balkans, the blind Bulgarian is correct,

but you and I will never know it. So, ah, never mind. And, you know, I would hope that this conflict in Europe that's going to devastate the continent's population that's supposed to begin in 2025, according to Baba Vanga's timeline, kind of had a wrench thrown into it this past weekend. Right? I know, I'm going to talk a little.

just a tad bit of politics, but not much. I've been really thinking about the assassination attempt on the former president, Donald Trump. And the thing that sticks in my head is a quarter of an inch. I mean, Donald Trump, the 45th president of the United States and candidate to be the 47th president of the United States, was shot at this past Saturday. Now, he wasn't killed. He was wounded.

I'm sure that most of you listening to this show know that. It was an attempted assassination. And it failed by a quarter of an inch. Now, that quarter of an inch saved him and may have saved we the people because had that quarter of an inch not existed, where would we be today? We would be in a whole different world, wouldn't we? Yes. Yes, we would. and it's just, it's amazing to me how that quarter of an inch,

what difference that makes in our timeline here in the world. So maybe Baba Vanga was seeing things that she thought would happen, but really didn't. You know, I don't know. I don't know. It's just really, I'm glad that Donald Trump wasn't assassinated for sure. I'm glad that that happened. And he is a strong man.

I mean, we saw him at the convention last night, and a lot of people, you know, look at him with his bandage on. Yeah, the man just got shot. I believe, according to his son, he lost part of his ear. And yet he was there at the convention, showing the people what he meant when he was being carried off the stage after being shot on Saturday.

Fight, fight, fight, keep going, right? I see where, you know, so many people in my social media timeline have posted things that, I can't believe they missed. Shoot better. Man, you'd think he'd have better training

as just sickening. Of course, you knew that was going to happen. Of course, that's the division that we're at in this country now. And I saw where Jack Black, you know, on his concert in six, Sydney on Sunday when he asked Kyle Gass from Tenacious Detour, hey, make a wish. And Kyle Gass said, don't miss Trump next time.

And so they took a lot, I mean, they took a lot of heat for that, as well they should have. And now Jack Black has issued a big statement saying that I was blindsided by what was said at the show on Sunday. I would never condone hate speech or encourage political. violence in any form. Uh-huh. After much reflection, I no longer feel it's appropriate

to continue the tenacious detour and all future creative plans are on hold. I'm grateful to the fans for their support and understanding. Are you? Are you, Jack? I just feel like I got you.

Good. What you say is good. What I believe, I find, I think you were blindsided by the reaction from the world, not blindsided by what was said. I mean, this is the same guy that was at the big fundraiser in Hollywood, glad heading with the hoity-toits, raising money for Joe Biden with Barack Obama and what's his face?

George Clooney, Julia Roberts. And then after that, after the showing at the debate, George wants us to believe that, yeah, you know what? I probably should say something. Yeah, where you've been, George. Anyway, I just, interesting that Jack has felt the heat. And you know what? Good.

Product availability varies by region. See app for details. So we're in the all-star break for Major League Baseball, and last night was the home run derby

here in Dallas, Texas, greater Dallas, Texas. It's Arlington, Jeff. I know, it's DFW. And congratulations to Hernandez from the Dodgers who won the home run derby. But they also had a national anthem, of course. And they announced the home run derby participants. And they brought in a singer, a Grammy nominated singer,

Ingrid Andrus, to sing the national anthem. And look, we all walk around the house from time to time, singing the national anthem, different ways. You know, oh, say. Can you see? I mean, we all, a different, different, I'm the only one. Oh, okay, never mind. Let me rephrase that.

You know, I walk around the house singing the national anthem in different ways, you know, throughout the years, just something that I do. And you like the way some sound, you like some, they don't, you put a blues spin to it, a country spin, whatever. That's not everybody, that's just me.

Oh, okay. So, Ingrid, decides to do her version of the national anthem. Now, when you're at an event, especially in a professional sporting event with thousands of people watching at home and live in a stadium, that's not the time to create a different national anthem.

What they want from you, Ingrid Andrus, Grammy-nominated singer, is for you to do a rendition of the national anthem that sounds good. Period. It's the traditional song and just do it. And then it's going to thank you, Ingrid, and you walk off and you either leave or you stay up in a box and watch the game and drink. One of the things you shouldn't do, and I think Ingrid did, was I have too many gummies prior to the event. Maybe she realized, oh, crap, they're kicking in early. I didn't want them to kick in yet.

I wanted them to kick in, you know, after I sang so I could just hang out in the box. and enjoy the home running extravaganza? I don't know. I don't know. It sure seemed like she made a mistake on letting the drugs kick in

prior to her singing the song because, wow, her version was not a Grammy-winning version. Okay. What's so proud? Oh. Oh. By the trial,

Engrid. Oh. It's an hat, actually, it's why it's, but whatever. Even the crowd is like, whoa, Ingrid, what are we doing? Then they show the players, and the players are like, ooh. And the players have seen a lot of national anthems, man. I don't know, like every game. Okay, thank you, Ingrid.

We appreciate that. At least you'll go down as one of the, if not, the worst national anthem sung before a baseball game. But I will say, when the record company called and said, hey, they want you to do the home run derby, sing the national anthem, go out there and you be you and just you do you, boo. They didn't mean it. What they meant was go out and do the rendition that America knows and then you can sell some

albums. And that is definitely not what happened. All right, let's go to the break room. I definitely need something cold to drink after that, desperately. So let's say you live in Michigan, in Southfield, Michigan. You know where Ingrid Andres is from. And it's right here on the hand map. Right there, you can see it.

I'm showing it to you right now as we speak. And it's a greater Detroit area. And you think to yourself, wow, I do not want to live in the city where this girl came from. But how do I move? Well, first, pick a city that you want to live in. then go to real estate agents I trust.com. And they will help you through, especially in this housing market. They'll help you buy and or sell a home.

So if you want to get out of Southfield because of Ingrid, give them a call.

Pick a city and give them a call. Real estate agents, I trust.com. Real estate agents I trust.com. So if you're an AT&T wireless customer, hello. They got hacked again for the second time in three months. The company announced a major data breach. This one affecting nearly all AT&T cellular customers. The compromised data includes, and it just includes this, phone numbers, counts of calls or texts, total call durations from May of 2022 to October 31st of 2022 and on January 2nd, 2023.

Weird. AT&T blamed the breach on a third-party cloud platform. It's not us. It is not us. We have a company, a Snowflake, that's a cloud software company, and they are the source of the problem. Wait, what, yo. And then Snowflake said, no, no, hey, hey, hey, it's because of the customers. They're not using multi-factor authentication.

It's not us. It's not AT&T. It's you. It's your fault. Oh, okay. So hackers did not gain access to the content of calls. and text, name, social security numbers, dates of birth, or other personal

identification information. Uh-huh. But, I mean, it's only, I mean, it's just another step away from being able to find out who belongs to what phone number, right? So AT&T said, hey, we secured the affected access point, and the company

doesn't believe that the data is publicly available at this time, and we're working with law enforcement to track down the responsible parties, authorities of apprehended at least one suspect. Oh, okay. In addition, Wired reported that AT&T paid the hackers 300,000 to delete the stolen information and provide video proof. I don't know that that actually happened, but okay. If your account was affected by the hack, you'll get a text, email, or U.S. mail from AT&T. The carrier also has a tool you could use to check your account or get a list of your compromised text or calls.

Now, they claim that if you should, if you think you were affected, you should freeze your credit anyway until you need to apply for something. Oh, but since it isn't personal information, don't even worry about it. Just don't even worry about it. Now, they say here in this article, they list the top five encrypted messaging apps. So apparently we're supposed to use those that help us. signal, Samsung messages, and Google. I mean, I guess I have that since I have a Samsung phone.

Apple messages, maybe I need to do something specific for that. WhatsApp and Telegram. See, now they got me all worried. I've got to look at that because it probably doesn't happen without my say-so. So now I'm going to have to go back and see if the actual encrypted messaging apps is working correctly. Okay. So anyway, be careful out there. And if you have AT&T, don't worry about it.

You're fine. All right, don't worry about it. It's your fault anyway. And we know that the online struggle and fight for your money is still ongoing. Because today is the beginning of Prime Day sale, which happens today, tomorrow, and the next day, right? The 16th through the 18th. I think, maybe it's just today and tomorrow. Anyway, you know, the big Amazon Prime Day, and everybody now.

the time to get there and find deals on all your stuff if you're not an Amazon Prime member. Now, even if you are an Amazon Prime member. Now, I guess I missed it, but Target had their big Target Circle Week. Oh, yeah, we talked about it. We did mention Circle Week. I do remember being called Circle Week. That was last week. Walmart had theirs earlier as well.

Best Buy has their Black Friday in July's sale. that's going on right now as well so they're going up when you see a good deal on Amazon maybe you go to Best Buy see if they can beat the deal on their Black Friday in July sale which happens started yesterday and it goes through the 17th as well

just like Prime Day so now's the time if you're looking to spend some of that some of that money you just have laying around you don't know what to do with how about you go to Amazon Prime and see what they've got for sale and then you can check out what's happening at Best Buy and then maybe check out some other sites

to see if they have the better deal or not. And maybe you need to order it from Target or Walmart or Sam's or Costco. I mean, Costco is trying to say that they've got good deals now. You know, they took a hit for raising their prices. And now I see they're promoing there. We've got $99 Apocalypse Dinner kits containing foods with a shelf life of 25 years, which, you know, okay, that's great. The Ready Wise Apocalypse.

dinner kits. That's great, but I still have to pay a whole bunch more money to get into your store to purchase and save the money. That's the point behind Costco and Sam's Jeff. You pay to get in the door and then you get discounts. Okay, I got you. I got you. It's the matcha or the three ensemble Cado Cephora of the fact that I just of deniches who energize all the ensemble.

The format standard and mini regrouped, what are old old it's a pretty much

pretty to do and I know I know that I'm going to the summer Fridays and Rare Beauty by Salina Gomez.

I'm, I'm sure. The most ensemble the gift, the fair beauty,

Way, Cepora Collection and other part of the VIT. Procurry you see forma

standard and for a major quality of on LING on C4 or in magazine.

Who died today? Who died today. Well, the past few days have been filled with people that are, you know, known that have passed away. Let's begin with Taylor Willie, W-I-L-Y from Hawaii-5-0 and forgetting Sarah Marshall, the actor. He has passed away at the age of 56. There is no cause of death listed for Taylor. Now, he's, you know, 6-2, 450 pounds. Could that have? have been an issue? Sure. It absolutely could have been. He was born in Hawaii and obviously in 1968 and he

played football and he did he did all kinds of other stuff and then they said hey you know that might be okay so he went to work for Hawaii 50 and then he did a couple other shows. He was in Magnum PI and Hawaii 5-0 as a you know a recurring character in those shows. While he's Camacona. I think that's how you would probably say Camacona. K-A-A-M-E-K-O-N-A was his character on these shows. So, rest in peace to Taylor Riley, dead at the age of 56. And I'm sure it had nothing to do with that because they would have said something. Then we have Jacote Jones. Jacoby Jones has passed away at the age of 40. He is a former and NFL wide receiver and return man. He has died.

His family confirmed in a statement to the NFL Players Association. They confirmed that he passed away peacefully at his home in New Orleans. He had just turned 40. So he passed away peacefully at his home in New Orleans yet we did not give a cause of death. So I'm not real sure what happened. But, you know, rest in peace to Jacoby Jones. We've all seen him play on the gridiron, and he was awesome, and he was particularly, according to many people who knew him,

was great post-playing football, trying to help others. So, rest in peace to Jacobi Jones, dead at the age of 40. Then we have a vlogger, a video vlogger from China. He's just joining a long list of people who are in trouble live streaming in China. uh he was uh live streaming and in his live stream he had a big he had his own wheel that he would spin and then that would tell him what he needed to eat and it would he would either eat you know poisonous centipedes or geckos and his girlfriend said hey you know i haven't heard of it a while whatever's going on it's he checked out and he was flatlined in the room uh the police showed up

and the live streaming platform was still live so people were still watching just waiting for him to wake up. Like is he actually dead or are we just sitting here watching this guy not dying? We just passed out on the floor. I mean, it's kind of like when I'm not, it's worse because this guy actually died. I get it. But if you were watching this live stream and he fell over on the floor, you're not turning it off. You're going to continue to watch until something happens.

And obviously, you know, the girlfriend and then the police show. showed up. So rest in peace to this 35-year-old surname son in the Anhui province. And so he died in his apartment. And he filmed himself drinking large amounts of alcohol and eating centipedes, geckos, and mealworms. And so he ate the wrong, poisonous beast and his live stream. You know, China has tried to put the crackdown on some of the these live streams. And that's coming to America soon. I mean, I know that we've put, we don't

have people killing themselves on live television. That's the internet, Jeff. Yeah, that's what I mean. So the video platform, I guess it's do you, do you, do you, uh, D-O-U, Y, you, uh, has his videos have been removed from the site. Very sad. According to this, uh, 425 million people, uh, this was, I don't know, this was four or five, you. years ago for live streaming platforms in China. Now, they've really kind of cut that back down because we had the one girl

who was the how she was known as the rooftoper. Remember her? She would climb buildings without without any safety nads or anything. And then she climbed the 162

story skyscraper and she lost grip and yeah. Sad. I'm not one. Why are you smiling? Because it's sad. I already said that it was sad.

So let you let me be. I mean, they already clamped down in China a few years ago. Remember, they said that people can't be eating bananas seductively on the webcam live streams. Because that's inappropriate and erotic content online. Oh, okay. So apparently, you know, they're busy shutting down all these live streaming platforms in China. So it doesn't sound. I mean, China's a great place to be, right?

Remember, that's the same site. Yes, that's the same site where the young girl was trying to eat an octopus. And then the octopus sucked their face. Now, if I'm watching that, I'm not leaving. That's another. That's another. I'm not leaving. I'm waiting until something happens.

She finally does pull the octopus off her face. But she was screaming. Maybe you shouldn't have been trying to eat the octopus, just saying. And speaking to how good China is, and man, aren't they? Apparently they've got a big food safety scandal going on in China because I guess there's claim, they claim, now they claim, I'm sure this is not happening, but they claim that cooking oil is being carried in the same trucks as fuel. so what i guess there's public outrage in china over allegations that this major state-owned food company

has been cutting costs by using the same tankers to carry fuel and cooking oil ah do we need to clean those no we don't have time for that just go ahead load it up don't worry about it so china's largest grain storage and transport company uh cineograin and private conglomerate hopeful grain and oil group have raised concerns of food contamination in a country rocked in recent decades by a string of food and drug safety scares. Right. Yeah, I'm sure that they were rocked with these. Apparently, it's an open secret in the transport industry that the tankers were doing double duty, according to a report in the state-linked outlet Beijing News last week. Now, I'd be surprised if Beijing news still exist after, I'm just joking.

Nothing like that could happen in China, which allege that the trucks carrying certain fuel or chemical liquids were also used to transport edible liquids, such as cooking oil, syrup, and soybean oil without proper cleaning procedures. Oh, okay. Now, it's going to be investigated. They already said the Food Safety Office of China's Administrative State Council already announced. There's going to be an interdepartmental team that's going to investigate the transportation of edible oil pledging that those responsible for any malpractice will be severely punished in accordance with the law.

So, quit your whining. 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. Handpicked the finest sweater from the rest.

Ooh, cashmere. Landed makeup pallets from the brands you love. Brushes 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.

You know, we are kind of becoming China, though, aren't we? Because we played the drone after the 4th of July, flying over people's neighborhoods, telling them to stop shooting fireworks. That seemed China-esque to me. And then I see a post from this Emily Arachala. I think that's how you pronounce. I'm sure that's not how you pronounce it, actually. R-A-U-H-A-L-A.

She's the Brussels Bureau Chief for the Washington Post, and she's worked in China before she covered foreign affairs from D.C. and a China correspondent. She posted on X, New D.C. experience, Washington, D.C., by the way. I'm standing out. side of CVS in DuPont Circle, waiting for a ride. The surveillance machine above me came alive to tell me not to loiter. Spent five years in mainland China, and this is a new one for me, which I don't know that I believe that.

But so now, even in the U.S., you can see the picture she took of the surveillance machine on the wall above the CBS. and other stores in DuPont Circle, there's above a sign that says, no loitering. So as you stand there for, you know, too long, which I guess would be, I don't know, what, 60 seconds? What's the loitering time in America?

Is it over a minute? Is it less than five minutes? Is it over five minutes? I don't know. It doesn't say how long she was standing outside of CVS. So I'm not sure what the loiter time is. But don't worry about it. it because now we're going to be locked in and it wouldn't surprise me if they see someone loitering

from these machines then they can alert the drones and the drones could come over and say hey don't make us drop down and shoot you dead just move along keep going that's coming that is coming my friends i do want to know what the loitering time is though if you know what the official loitering time is email me chewing the fat at the blaze.com. You can message me on X as well at Jeffrey JFR. You can message me on Facebook and Instagram, Jeff Fisher Radio. We should be following me on these as well. You can follow me on a cameo at Jeffey JFR.

You can order a cameo from me anytime at Jeffie JFR. It's not free, but you can order it. That's the way it works on cameo at Jeffy JFR. You can always email the show, as I said, Chewing the Fat at the Blaze.com. You can follow me on YouTube, Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher. year. So if you know, I'm too lazy right now to look it up, but if you know the actual loitering time in any country, what they consider loitering, let me know, because I would be interested to see what the cameras and the surveillance machines above the CVS and DuPont Circle and DC consider

loitering. Because I thought you could loiter. I mean, I've seen stories over the years that loitering is okay, they can't stop you from loitering, from just walking from place to place. This still is a free country if you're on a public sidewalk. And I know that the term loitering, you know, lingering, hanging around in a public area without an apparent purpose, I don't need an apparent purpose, okay? I can still be there. But most it's most of all I can find now. And I stopped and I went and looked because I wanted to know a specific time.

They really don't have one. They say, they claim that each jurisdiction, defines how long a person might hang around before it's considered too long. But unless you go into the specific jurisdictions, you don't know. So we, I guess, you know, I'd be interested to know from law enforcement officials who listen to the show. And I'm sure there are many. No matter what country you're in, the United States, Canada, Hong Kong, wherever you're at, listening to the UK, wherever you're at listening to Chewing the Fat,

reach out to your jurisdiction and see how long is loitering defined in your particular jurisdiction? That would be great. Thank you. All right, I can't wait. Today is Prime Day. I might go see how much a book costs. I really want to read this book, The Talented Mrs. Mandelbaum, the rise and fall of an American organized crime boss.

I really want to read this book. Now, she was the first, to the author, who is Marguerleet Fox. And I kind of like to reach out to Marguerlead and have her talk to me, but she works for the New York Times. So I have a feeling that she's not going to be a fan of The Blaze. But, you know, I'd like to promote her book and talk to her about it. Anyway, she was the first major organized crime boss, and she was a Jewish woman whose name almost no one knows today. She was Frederica Mandelbaum.

and she's the subject of this book. I mean, it's awesome. She's got a great story. It's a fascinating story of an immigrant who traveled in Steeridge to the Lower East Side of Manhattan in 1850. And then she became this big crime boss. And I can't wait to read this book. And I'd love to talk to Marguerite about it and how she studied and got the information about Mrs. Manelma.

But maybe I'll hang out and head to Amazon Prime or see how much. one of her books costs. If it's too much, though, I have to reach out and see if she did. We'll do an interview so she can send me a book. I do want to read it, though. So I guess I'll spend a couple of bucks and read the book. And then we can talk about it because I think I really like this lady. And you like a crime boss? Yes. Yes, I do. All right, so I follow this Gilly and Mark Art on Instagram. And they're fine. I like some of their art stuff. But one of their posts has some facts about wildlife. We'll say in this post it talks about how we share Earth with 8.7 million other species,

according to scientists. Yes, and that's why I claim humans first. Okay. Yes, we share the planet with them, but we're the rulers of them. I don't think Gilli and Mark Art probably feel that way, but they should. So anyway, they want you to enjoy their posts. And, you know, they're fine, they're fine. But they gave me some animal facts that I thought were kind of interesting, actually.

You know, like the koalas have fingerprints almost identical to humans. Did you know that? The shortest living animal in the world is the mayfly living only 24 hours. Orangetans are the heaviest tree-dwelling animals. Chimpanzees are very intelligent and make all kinds of tools. Duh. And we're finding more and more tools that they use. Elephants mourn their dead.

Only 5% of cheetah cubs survive to adulthood. The giant Pacific octopus has three hearts, nine brains, and blue blood. A little known pangolin is the world's most poached and trafficked animal. And again, so, oh, Jeff. Coalas sleep up to 22 hours a day. that's a good gig. If you believe in reincarnation, maybe you come back as a koala.

You get fingerprints and you get to sleep 22 hours a day. Now, this one, I don't think I knew and I don't know if I believe it or not. But I never saw it, so I've got to believe that maybe this is true. Elephants are the only animal that can't jump.

Did you know that? Now, just think about that for a second. Elephants are the only animal that can't jump. jump. Now, I don't know if they can't jump or they just don't. Like, what's the point? I'll just crush you. I don't need to jump on top of you. That takes too much energy. I'm just going to grab you with my trunk and then crush you with my foot. How about that? I don't need to jump. Although we've trained elephants for a long time around the world and we have not seen

the jumping elephants. So maybe it's true. Elephants are like, No, we're not doing that. Stream and subscribe to more Blaze Media content at theblaze.com slash podcasts.
