Blaze Radio Network And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. Well, well, well, congratulations to Mumbai. They have now surpassed Beijing to become the city with the most billionaires in Asia. This is as per the Huron Global Rich List, 2024, which I, man, I love the Huron Global Rich List. And so they have now surpassed Beijing.

They have 92 billionaires, edging out Beijing's 91. Losers! Now, they claim that this is primarily driven by the booming sectors such as energy and pharmaceuticals with Mikesh Umbani of Reliance Industries at the forefront. Yeah, you think? He's like worth $123.3 billion. He's the guy that put on the hoity-toity wedding for his son. So congratulations to Mumbai, as they are now the city with the most billionaires in Asia.

Welcome. Welcome to chewing the fat. According to Reid Hoffman, the co-founder of LinkedIn, in three decades, AI and automation will likely take over the nine to five hamster wheel changing how we work and live. Now, when you think of yourself, well, that's 30 years from now. No, according to this,

he made this prediction, I don't know, 20 years ago because they say that he saw the rise of social media back in 1997, the sharing economy, and the AI revolution long before chat, GPT entered the scene. So back then, he said it was going to be three decades. So we're looking at 2034, according to Mr. Hoffman's prediction that the 9 to 5 hamster wheel is going to be history because of AI and automation.

Okay. So we've got that to look forward to. But if you want to get away completely from the AI automation and robotics of the world, there's a gig for you in Michigan. Now, a lot of people don't know about this island, which is right next to Maconon, Island in Michigan and that's Macon Island is right here at the tip of the lower Michigan out there and that's the star of the islands but there is an island right next to it called Blah Blanc. Now when you think to yourself wait blah blank no it's not blah blank it's

blah blank B-O-I-S-B-L-A-N-C. B-O-B-L-A-N-C. Blah Blanc Island. Yeah, Blah Blanc. That's what I said. I grew up calling it blah-blank. Blanc Island. Okay, I got it. It's blah blank. Okay, no, blah Blanc. I got it. Whatever you want me to say.

What is it again? Blah Blanc Island. Yeah, blah, block. Okay. So I grew up calling it blank, but whatever. Whatever she says, fine. We're going with that. So they need a school teacher on Blanc Island.

And it's not a one-room schoolhouse. It's two rooms, up to two whole rooms. Now, the big thing about Blanc. Island is that, well, you can't really get there all year round. I mean, you can, but it's really difficult because during the summer, you can take the car ferry from Sheboygan, Michigan, which is almost at the tip of the lower Michigan, and that car ferry will, you know, ferry you know, ferry you to the island. During the winter months, weather they're permitting, there's planes that come and go, or a plane that comes and go. And you can get

tickets on that plane. I think it's a three-seater for 222 bucks, a trip. So if three people go, it only costs you 70 bucks. So it's good. No problem. And they, you know, ferry food back and forth, because in the wintertime, it gets a little cold. And you're pretty much locked down. But they need a teacher there. Now, it doesn't say how much the teaching, position pays. But you're the, I mean, you're everything to this school. You're the, you're the teacher. You're the counselor. You're the principal. You're the purchasing agent. I mean, you're it. And you're teaching their kids. Now, I think they only have like four kids this year. And a couple of them may leave. I was, I found an interesting. One lady said that she wants her kid to go to school up there and spend a couple

of years up there. But, and they don't know if they're going to go back. They said that they plan to evaluate whether they're going to go back to East Lansing or where, and then the story it says, go back to East Lansing where her husband and 13-year-old son plan to stay. So she get kicked out or she just decide, I don't like East Lansing or you anymore. So I'm going to the island? I don't know.

It doesn't. It doesn't go into their personal life, which I wish it did because I want to know. But so you can get a gig there at the old Blablanc Island. It's Blah Blanc, Jeff. Yeah, I know. That's what I said. And it's no problem. You can go there and hide away.

The school looks pretty cool. The Blanc Pines School District. And it doesn't say what the pay is, though. Now, it does say that they were talking to someone about getting the. gig because the other teacher left for personal reasons like yeah i want to get the heck out of here but uh it doesn't say that they hired anyone yet but they did say that they were in discussions with a candidate but the candidate was not a certified teacher know what that says to me is they found someone that said yeah i'll do it uh no problem i want to

get away from wherever i'm at yeah I'll do it. No problem. So they would need to apply for a long-term substitute permit from the state. I'm sure that the state would give that to anyone that wanted to go up to the old boblank and teach. It's blah, blah. Yeah, I got it. And teach because they're like, there we've got nobody else. So go ahead.

It's all you. So if you're looking for a gig, this might be it for you. I mean, you can go down to the multi-purpose room in the township building for gym class. You can go to the creek, the creek for a science lesson. Sometimes some of the parents bring crock pot meals so you can have a hot lunch. So you're good. You're good. So the district works with the intermediate school district based in Sue St. Marie, which is way the hell up there. So you can probably reach out to them and say, hey, I'd like to be the teacher at Blanc-Pine's school district classroom and before they make a decision and get the gig if you wanted to go there

and hide out on the island. Nobody's going to find you there because no one will look there. Would make for a good TV show though. Blah Blank Pines. Because we do have the one show. I think it's an, I watch it on Amazon, I think called Three Pines, which is up in Canada. And it's a detective show, which I love. And it's, they cover some.

some areas that are less than inhabited. So maybe go ahead. There's a million dollar idea for you. Start a murder mystery up with Blah Blank. And then part of the show can have the stars saying it's Blah Blanc. It's Blanc. So I don't know what the real estate market is on Blanc is. But I'm sure someone does.

And I also figure that being a real estate agent is not a 9 to 5 job, but it's not going to be owned by AI anytime soon. Because you want a human that is able to know the neighborhoods and know how much things cost in the area and get you the best price for the house you want to buy and get you the best price for a house that you want to sell. And that's where real estate agents I trust comes in. Real estate agents I trust pairs you with the best real estate agent in your area,

someone who knows the best practices, someone who understands the crazy housing market, someone who's a team leader and a closer, someone you can trust. Huh, that's the name, real estate agents I trust. Interesting how that works, isn't it? So if you're thinking about buying or selling a home or both, get in touch with them.

You'll see exactly what I'm talking about. Real estate agents I trust.com. Real estate agents I trust.com. And you're going to, you know, the good thing is, you're going to be dealing with the human. I know. Real estate agents, I trust.com.

With Amex Platinum, $400 in annual credits for travel and dining means you not only satisfy your travel bug, but your taste buds too. That's the powerful backing of Amex. Conditions apply. So today,

if you're caught doing that in Ohio, it's illegal. Because, dude, marijuana, recreational marijuana isn't legal until tomorrow. So don't be doing this today, okay, because you can get busted because it's not legal until tomorrow. Okay, so good news for Ohio that you're going to have recreational marijuana sales beginning tomorrow, and it will now be the 25th state plus the District of Columbia to make recreational weed legal. So congratulations to Ohio. I don't say that very often. So I guess people are going to be opening up weed shops all over Ohio, plus you'll have the,

you get the pipe sales, the recreational stuff, the bong sales. That's good business, man. That's a lot of money, a lot of money, let alone. the selling of pots. So get ready. I mean, I would be ready to open up a shop and just be ready for sales and just sit behind the counter and what's up? Hey, come on in. You can look around.

There's some stuff around. You got some, we have some different flavors today. We just got in a new shipment. So those over there, those bongs were made by my mom. And so you can get those at a pretty good price. Good luck. Capitalism at work every day. Be sure to follow me on my social media sites at Jeffrey JFR on X.

I do have the joke of the day from an email a little bit later on on the show. For those of you listening live, today is the 5th of August, 24, which makes it Monday and that's why the new recreational marijuana sales can begin on Tuesday, which is tomorrow. So fire them up tomorrow, not today, okay?

You can order a cameo from me at any time at Jeffrey JFR on Cameo. That, of course, is not free. That's the way Cameo works. I know at Jeffie JFR on Cameo. Now, those of you who have reached out about what's the lie from Friday, I'll tell you what the lie was. So we were a little rushed on time, recording it, and then we lost a man, Leslie, at the end. I know, we lost the connection, but he didn't win anyway.

He picked the wrong one. He won three weeks in a row. In the fourth week, he lost. So very disappointing. We'll have a new contestant this week. But we didn't get around to letting him actually pick which one was the lie, because I had the, you know, New Jersey man on the American Airlines flight attempted to have sex with a flight attendant. I had why just one venue at the Paris Olympics is allowed to have bees in the walls.

A 9 to 5 remake focuses on Gen Z versus Boomers in the workplace and how the sole white guy on team's Olympic basketball team made the cut. That's the one he picked number four, which is true. The lie was why just one venue at the Paris Olympics is allowed to have bees in the walls. To my knowledge, there is no venue in Paris that's allowed to have. bees in the wall. And remember that the closing remarks of what's the lie is all information is probably accurate at the time of recording. So there you have it. That's what the lie was from last week. Okay. So get off me. All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink desperately. All right. Let's see what I've been watching. I've been watching

presumed innocent on Apple TV, because I told you, I got Apple TV for free after we spent, I don't know, a million dollars at the phone store. That was nice of them. Hey, you can get Apple TV on us. Well, that's great. Thank you. No problem. I still have to write that check for a million dollars.

Yeah, okay, no problem. And I got a whole new phone out of it, too. Huh? That's pretty sweet. Anyway, so I'm able to get Apple TV now, which I'm happy about and I can watch some of their shows. So I watch Presumed Innocent, which is pretty good, except that, I'm not. I mean, I loved the book by Scott Toro.

It was awesome. Yes, I actually read the book. And I love Scott's work. And I thought Harrison Ford, the original movie, presumed innocent, was awesome. And then, so then I'm going to watch the series on Apple TV with Jake Gillinghall, playing Rusty Savage, and the family and the story. And if you haven't seen it, it's about a guy who is. uh you know a district attorney and he gets uh charged with murder that he didn't do and so uh this tv series i enjoyed um the jake gillan hall as rusty savage was fine he did a great job but

the wife ruth nega uh she just i don't know they didn't feel like they had good chemistry on the show just didn't sit right with me their chemistry just didn't seem to work but um You know, it was okay. It was all right. It was all right. And they changed it up a little bit. Had to, you know, wanted to make it a little bit different than the original presumed innocent movie.

So, okay, we'll change it up just a little bit at the end. And it didn't quite work the way that they set it up, at least to me, it didn't quite make sense. Because we all expected it to be one person. And because they wanted to be different, they made it into another person. but how he came to that conclusion was weird. And it was just, I didn't feel right. Anyway, it was fun, I guess.

It was fun. I saw Joe Rogan live on Netflix this weekend. He was on for, I don't know, an hour, a little more than an hour with his comedy special. Pretty good. Pretty good. I enjoyed it. It had a number of laughs throughout the whole thing at the big guy show. So if you're not ready for a big guy talk, don't watch it.

and I will say this, Netflix. You guys have been talking about how you're going to do live stuff more and more now, okay? So let's make it the live shows easier to get to than having to back out of the promo and then search and then live now. I have to search for what I'm looking for for it to come up live now.

Why don't you have a live now on your home screen right now? If you're going to start broadcasting live stuff, the home screen should have live now on it right now. It should be the first thing I come up instead of what you're promoting. If something big like that you're promoting is live now should be on the home screen right now. Boom, put it there. But what do I know, right? Nothing.

So. And if you're going to start doing multiple things live at the same time from around the world that we have access to, give a live now a section on your information line. up to the left of all your shows so that, you know, you have your shows and new shows. You can have, you know, movies, TV shows, that you could have live now segment. Yeah. And so I could just click on that and see what's live now and go right to it instead of having to search for it. And I even had the, I even had the alert.

And then so I click on it and it's the promo. So then I got it back out of the promo and go and find the live. I just found it a little cumbersome. So we need to work on that, Netflix. Call me. Call me. Email me. Join the fat of the blaze.com. Reach out.

I'll be happy to help you out. And speaking of Netflix, I see where Squid Game, the second season is going to be released December 26th. So you have the Christmas break to binge season two of a Squid Game. That's a pretty good move. And they also announced that there's going to be a season three of Squid Game. game and that's going to be the final season, which they slate for 2025 release. So, okay, season two will be, you know, the counting at the end of 2024 and season three will be sometime

probably, you know, at the end of 2025. But there you go. Season three is already in the works and they're probably shooting it as we speak. And if you're wondering what it was about, the description says three years after winning a squid game, player 456 remains determined to find the people behind the game and put an end to their vicious sport. So using this fortune to fund his search, he starts with the most obvious of places, look for the man in the sharp suit playing the game to get people into the game. And what his efforts finally yield is taking down the organization proves to be deadlier than he imagined. So he's going to have to re-enter the game to end it.

And since there's a season three, so do we end the game or do we now become the leader of it and just continue to run it yourself? That's season three, the end of season three, he's just the guy and he's the head of Squid Game. Yeah, probably. And I almost went to see Deadpool and Wolverine this weekend. I did not, though, but it held the top spot at the theater with 97 million domestic. domestically. And so the domestic total is $395.6 million. And the global hall is $824.1 million.

The biggest R-rated movie ever in the U.S. and is eyeing global records. And IMAX showings are contributing significantly bringing in 64.5 million globally. So good on Deadpool and Wolverine. Nothing but good reviews from all the people I talk to that have seen it. Twisters still staying strong at number two with 22.6 million on his third weekend. I guess I'm going to have to see it. I'm told that it's really good.

I love the first twister. I mean, it's one of my wife and myself's favorite movies. When there's nothing else to watch, Twister goes on. Or you just want something that you don't have to think about, but you can enjoy having it on. Twister. So we'll see Twisters. I've got to see that. then Trap, which is M. Night Shyamalan's latest thriller.

15.6 million domestic, 20 million globally. Okay. We'll see how you go. Despicable Me 4. Still cranking. Wow, Despicable Me 4 still cranking with 11.2 million on the fifth weekend. 313.9 million domestic. 752.

Global. Wow. Inside out, I mean, hello. Eighth weekend. Inside Out 2. 626.8 million. domestic, 1.5 billion global. I mean, it's already the highest grossing animated film of all time.

It has now surpassed the Avengers. So the film is now the 10th highest grossing movie of all time. Inside Out 2. Wow. 1.5239 billion globally, which I'm guessing is incredible. You can say this. This is incredible. So it's got 1.5.5.

to 3.9 billion. And then the Avengers had 1.5-21 billion. And Furious 7th had 1.5-15 billion. So congratulations to Inside Out 2. And then Harold and the Purple Cran

Longlegs is still hanging in there a little bit. Quiet place, day one. I mean, they've got 259 million global. I think that's It's probably, obviously not as good as they wanted, but it's still hanging in. 137 million domestic, 259 global. They've got to be quietly happy about that.

And then they have Deraanapinda Hove. I have no idea what that movie is, but it's even in the description that says catering to a niche audience with limited screenings. Yeah, okay, well, it's number of nine. And bad boys ride or die still hanging in there in the top 10 with another 600 grand this weekend. And they've, I mean, that movie made 192.9 million domestically. I've got to think that they were hoping for more with that one too. But okay, whatever. And we got the Joker coming up soon, which got to, I mean, we have to see the Joker.

Right. Right? Don't look at me like that. You know, you have to. There's a new Transformers movie coming out, which, you know, is a must. And we have the new Gladiator movie coming out before the end of the year as well. I mean, Gladiator and Joker, those are must. Must see. Well, in my household, Gladiator, Joker, and the Transformers are must see at the theater.

Now, James was a huge actor, and I feel like that, I don't know how we miss this. I'm very sad. He died on the 15th of last month. And I saw it come across my timeline and I went, we didn't talk about James B. Sicking, dying. I mean, he was on Hill Street Blues. He was on Dugie Hauser. And it's very sad. He died of complications from dementia. I don't wish that on anyone. But the guy was so good at, you know, comedies and tragedies, dramas. He was on so much. I mean, he was

obviously the, you know, Lieutenant Howard Hunter on Hill Street Blues 100 years ago. But, I mean, he was in Perry Mason General Hospital, the Outer Limits, the fugitive, raw hide, bonanza, Ironside, Starsky, and Hutch, Rockford Files. I mean, he was Mr. TV. And he was on a couple of episodes of Curb Your Enthusiasm. And he played it. He was in Star Trek 3, the search for Spock. I mean, he's just, he's been in all these movies point blank and made of honor.

and just ordinary people terminal man I just I have to just say the guy was a huge star and very sad that he passed away so James rest in peace James B. Sicking dead at the age of 90 then we got news that Aerosmith no no one died from Aerosmith but they're retiring from touring

very sad apparently Stephen Tyler really did hurt his voice quite a bit last year. So all the concerts that were scheduled, no more. Because we have permanent damage to Stephen's vocal cords and his throat. And so there will be no more Aerosmith without Stephen Tyler. So rest in peace, Aerosmith. Oh, they'll still be around, Jeff. Yeah, I know.

They'll still be around. But it will be without Stephen Tyler. So, and I didn't realize, I mentioned this on our Saturday show. Brad Staggs and myself do a Saturday morning live every Saturday. You can catch it on my X account at Jeffrey JFR on X. His born name was Stephen Victor Telerico. And he was born, 76 now. Foof, okay.

And, but his other name, which I wasn't aware of for some reason. Now I'm like, of course, that's what his name is. Of course, because I know it. but I didn't know it on Saturday. The demon of screaming. So when you think of the demon of screaming, just know that that is Stephen Tyler from Aerosmith. And I'll tell you another guy that's not dead, but we'll be soon.

And you can mark this on your books, Harvey Weinstein. I know. We talked about how he was transferred to Bellevue Hospital, again for the diabetes and the high blood pressure and the spinal stenosis. and COVID-19 and double pneumonia. I mean, even as attorneys like, his health is a train wreck.

Well, no kidding. Well, now the LA case, you know, is trying to come after him. They want him transferred to California. Gavin Newsom is pissed because he's really pissed because his wife was part of that L.A. lawsuit, which found him guilty of, I don't know, he had 19 years or whatever.

I don't know how many years he's supposed to serve in California. 16, 16 years is the California lawsuit. But Newsom's wife, her part of the trial was found not guilty. So he's pissed and he wants him back to serve his time in California. And he even said, oh, he's a rapist. A stone cold predator. Twice convicted. No, Gavin.

No, he was, that first case in New York was thrown out, my friend. So I know they're going to retry him. And that's why New York is saying, I'll just keep him. here. He's sick. We're going to retry him anyway. But that first case was thrown out. So he has been convicted once in your state. But the New York thing for

23 years, uh, it was thrown out, my friend. So go easy. But he is not well. And I'm telling you, we're going to, we're going to hear, uh, we're going to hear them dancing in the streets. All the me too's will be dancing in the street when Harvey Weinstein dies.

All right. So sure we have some uneasy people, unrest going on. Unrest, that's what we'll call it. We have unrest going on in the UK. Sure, we have unrest going on in India. Sure, we have a war in Europe with Ukraine and Russia and really NATO. Sure, we have possible war going on with the Koreas. Sure, we've got possible invasion.

one point or another from China into Taiwan. Sure, we've got all that going on. Sure, we have some minor unrest happening here in the United States. So, sure, we've got some unrest in Israel and the Middle East, really a war going on there as well. Sure, we have all that. But last week we told you that the military had come to a deal with the 9-11 masterminds. and they did a plea deal where they would just serve life sentences

and defense secretary Lloyd Austin which I want to like him for this I do I appreciate it I love him for this I don't know why though I feel like we're missing something because he said no I'm overriding that plea agreement

so the two other defendants plus the mastermind we're reinstating them as the death penalty cases. Love it. Yes, that's what should happen. And so apparently this retired Brigadier General had approved the plea deals with Khalid Sheik and the two other accomplices, Walid Bin and Mustafa Al. Austin said in a letter, no, in light of the significance of the decision, no.

I've got the authority to make the decision. on accepting the plea agreements, and I am nullifying that deal. Okay, good. So we'll see. I know that everybody blaming the Biden administration for this, but Lloyd Austin was, no way that's happening. Now, could it have been because of the, you know, the outcry? Absolutely.

And there was an outcry from both sides of the aisle about this plea deal. But I just feel like we're missing something, and I feel like that rug is going to be pulled out from underneath us. soon. Until then, though, good. As we speak right now, the United States is in second place as far as gold medals in the Olympics, but we are in first place as far as total medals. We have 75 total medals at this time of this recording of chewing the fat, 27 bronze, 29 silver, and 19 gold medals. China is number one in golds with 21. That can't stand. But I will say this, we have.

the men's basketball and the women's basketball that will get gold undoubtedly so that gives us that at least ties us right now with china so we've got to get we've got to get a couple more goals which i'm sure we will i'm sure we'll come out on top i have confidence but i'm just saying right now uh you know over the weekend we were way behind and then we caught up and we tied and now we're back down a little bit but we are just crushing the other medals and nobody's close to us and uh china's i think with 52. I mean, they're way below us total metal count. I did watch some of the Olympics this weekend. And, you know, I've forgotten how much I enjoy it. I really do. I know I'm supposed to hate it because France and, you know, the anti-Christian stuff for the opening. But that's France.

That's not the athletes. So, I mean, I watched some of the events. And I love the competition. And they're so good. And there's everything is so close. I mean, the gold medal is, you know, And the silver and the bronze medal is like, gold, silver bronze. Gold, silver bronze. I mean, they're so close. They're so good. It's just incredible. Anyway, I just enjoyed the heck out of watching it.

And I told you on Friday that it was rumored that Tom Cruise was supposed to do this special thing for the closing of the Olympics. Well, it looks like we found out it might be. the ceremony is supposed to have him repelling down, landing on the field and carrying the Olympic flag, and some of it's been pre-recorded. And then he's going to fly back to California and skydive from Los Angeles and land near the Hollywood sign,

passing the flag to the host city to the 28-28 Olympics. So, okay. Tom is going to skydive onto the Hollywood sign and give the flag to Los Angeles. That's awesome. Good. It'd be fun. It'd be fun to watch.

And I'm looking forward to it. And of course, that's what, I mean, they all knew this was going to happen, I guess. Remember, Jill Biden said how much she loved the opening ceremonies. But she then went off the rails and said, but we've got Hollywood. And this is what she was talking about. When I got a great deal on a great gift, at Winners, I started wondering, could I get fabulous gifts for everyone on my list? Like this designer fragrance for my daughter.

At just $39.99, how could I resist? This luxurious wool throw for my sister. This gold watch for my partner? A wooden puzzle for my niece? Leather gloves for my boss? Ooh, European chocolate for the crossing guard? At these prices, could I find something for everyone at Winners? Stop wondering. Start gifting.

Winners, find fabulous for less. Okay, so we've got a lot of things going on in science, and I've got a long list of stuff that I've saved and I never get to. First and foremost is this new 3D printed Band-Aids, which is pretty cool. So this Colorado-led team in collaboration with researchers at the University of Pennsylvania, they've developed a new way to 3D print material that is at once elastic enough to withstand the heart's persistent bee. and tough enough to endure the crushing loaded place on joints, and it's easily shapeable to fit a patient's unique defects. That is awesome.

So they talked about this in the journal science, the August 2nd edition. I don't know if you've seen that edition yet, but I can't put it down. The August 2nd edition of the journal science. And this talking about this new generation of biomaterials, from internal bandages that deliver drugs directly to the heart to cartilage patches and needle-free sutures. So cartilage and cardiac tissues are similar and that they have very limited capacity to repair themselves.

So when they're damaged, there's no turning back, which I'm well aware of as far as the cartilage goes. I've had all my cartilage completely taken out of me. I think I don't know that I have any left in my knees. And by developing new more resilient materials to enhance that repair process can have a big impact on patients. Yeah, if they could put that in my knee and let me have it used that as cartilage,

I would love that. So unlike typical printers, which simply place ink on paper, 3D printers deposit, layer after layer of plastics, metals, and even living cells to create multi-dimensional objects. One specific material known as hydrogill,

stuff that contact lenses are made of, has been a favorite prospect for fabricating artificial tissues, organs, and implants. This is so cool. And, I mean, it's revolutionary, really. And they've created this new printing method known as clear for continuous curing after light exposure aided by redox initiation.

I don't have to tell you that. I mean, you got that from clear, right? You do that. That it stands for for continuous curing after light exposure aided by redox initiation. Duh. So it follows a series of steps to entangle long molecules inside 3D printed materials, much like those intertwined worms. Wow.

just incredible. So when the team stretched and weight-loaded these materials in the lab, they even ran over a sample with a bike. They found them to be extraordinary, tougher

the materials printed with standard method of 3D printing, known as the digital light processing, and they also conformed and stuck to animal tissues and organs, which is what you need

to have happened. So if they do this, I could repair defects in hearts, deliver tissue regenerate, regenerating drugs directly to organs or cartilage, restrain bulging discs or even stitch people up in the operating room with inflicting tissue damage like a needle as suture can.

Just incredible. We're finding out and doing more and more things for the human body that is remarkable. I mean, we just put in a titanium heart has been successfully implanted into a live patient making a huge leap into artificial heart technology. So this fully mechanical, heart employing the same high-speed maglive technology used in modern rail systems represents a way

to bridge the gap between patients awaiting heart transplants. So they've got a titanium heart that they're using and they're using the technology that make, you know, how the trains levitate. So they use the Like the Japanese high-speed trains use this technology to repel force that oppose magnetic poles, so they suspend an object in mid-air, and that's what makes the trains, you know, go so fast. Well, scientists at California-based company Bivacore have partnered with Texas Heart Institute to implant this first artificial heart powered by our maglev technology in the chest of a human patient who was awaiting a life-saving organ transplant. But if he's got a titanium heart, why does he need the transplant?

So the heart has got a driven rotor which spins to circulate blood around the body while suspended contactlessly inside the titanium housing of the compact implant. So once installed, the valvous heart is theoretically capable of supporting an exercising adult male. It can be manipulated to pump faster or slower using a smart external controller. And it's also hoped that its frictionalist design will remove the risk of mechanical wear and ultimately failure. So just leave it in there. I guess we're going to wait for the donor and swap it out. But until then, we're doing with the titanium heart. Okay.

There's so much other stuff that they are working on. Well, I'll go through some more as the week goes on because there's some really cool stuff. that the scientists are working on. So let's wrap it up. Let's do the joke of the day. Sent to me by Shai to Chewing the Fat at the Blaze.com. And he says, while dad jokes have become popular these days,

this time I'm sending you some jokes. My mother told me when I was a little child back in the 1950s. Wow, the 50s. She was raised on a farm before World War II with three brothers. her sense of humor was not curtailed by today's political correctness. Okay. Mom jokes from, you know, before World War II.

Wow. Okay. Probably lived down a house at a dirt floor. And we just, we got one pair of shoes a year. And we, that's all we wore. One pair of shoes a year. That's why you only wore them on Sundays to go to church. And maybe you wore them when you went to school.

Okay? That's when, that's when this was. So, uh, mama, mama. Why am I walking in circles? Shut up, or I'll nail your other foot to the floor. The number two joke that was told by Shai's mother back at the day, back at the day, day, I mean, back when he was a kid in the 50s, I mean, that's maybe even three or four days ago. Number two, Mama, Mama, I don't want to see Grandma.

Shut up and keep digging. No, I got it. I got it. I got it. And the number three joke from Shai's mama from the Four World War II. Mama, mama, I don't want fresh ground hamburgers for dinner. Shut up and give me your other hand. Oh, see, oh, man, that is just mean.

But shut up and keep digging. Now, that's funny. I guess maybe nailing your... other foot to the floor probably is mean too. Still funny though. Stream and subscribe to more Blaze Media content at the blaze.com slash podcasts.
