Blaze Radio Network. And now, Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher. I begin today with letting you know that if you're listening live, it is Wednesday, the 19th of February, 2025. And I start today with the date so that you realize this is not a pre-recorded show. Okay? I know you think it is. You're wrong.

That's a live broadcast. Because NASA has now revised. the percentage of asteroid 222024 YR4, and they revised it to 3.1%. We've gone from, I mean, it's tripled in less than a month. It's incredible to me. I can't believe it. I really do believe that they are easing us into, yeah, it's going to hit us. Now, we've decided it's going to hit us.

We've figured it out. And they also said in one story, and I'm going to go back and find it, I just remember reading where they said, you know, we're not really sure that the size of it, we're telling, we're saying that it's a 177 foot diameter asteroid. But,

and if that were the size of the asteroid that hits the Earth, well, it would be, you know, 500 times the energy released by the atomic bomb that destroyed Hiroshima. But it's not an Earth killer. It's just, you know,

a city killer. Uh, yeah, a big city killer. But they, They originally said, well, that's how big we think it is. With the light reflections and the refractions, it may be bigger. Oh.

Okay. Well, thank you, expert. We appreciate it. So I don't know if our DART program, the space agencies of, you know, planetary defense, the double asteroid redirection program that we have. Because we used it once. Remember, we saw the video of it hitting the one. moon of that one planet

and then it bounced away, it went into it. That's our DART program. And can we send it up and hit this asteroid? I don't know. I saw one expert say, it's too late for that now. Oh, all right, sure. Then why do it?

And I know China is testing their own technology on a small asteroid in a couple of years. That may be the one that we're looking to hit us. I don't know that. I just know that there was reported

that they're putting together a test for asteroid deflection. So, okay, I'm just saying I'm a little concerned that this is the asteroid that's going to cross the earth. The only thing

that they have not revised is the year. They still claim that's going to happen in 2032. Okay. So I just feel now, in about, I don't know, six months from now, as we've revised it

and it keeps getting a bigger and bigger chance of hitting the earth, they're going to say, yeah, it's going to hit us. And it's going to be here next year. So, good luck.

God bless. I mean, could that happen? Yes. Am I going to be firing that up? Ha ha ha ha ha. The answer to that is, well, yes. Welcome. Welcome to chewing the fat.

So the actor Guy Pearce. You know him, you love him. I do enjoy his work. He's been in a lot of stuff. And he is in the latest movie that's getting a lot of, a lot of acknowledgement that what a great movie it is, The Brutelist. And he wants people to pay attention to him.

And so he does a podcast. of course, titled Awards Chatter podcast. And boy, I bet you that is just, well, it's riveting. And he went on to say that he was targeted by former co-star Kevin Spacey while filming L.A. Confidential. And that was back in the mid-90s. It was a great movie, but, I mean, it was way back in the 90s. so he said he only realized the extent of his trauma 20 years after the release of the film

he said he was in London at the time of the Me Too movement and broke down over his experiences with acting legend Spacey who has been repeatedly accused of predatory behavior towards young male actors yeah and those cases have all been thrown out or won by Kevin Spacey to be false anyway Pierce who previously described Spacey as a hansy before rowing back slightly said even though I probably was a victim to a degree. I was certainly, you know, not a victim by any means to the extent that other people have been to sexual predators.

So you weren't a victim guy. You're just trying to make us feel like you were one. And you want to promote your movie. So you're going to be a victim adjacent is what we're happening? Okay. He said he brushed off Spacey's alleged behavior on set during filming of in Los Angeles in 1996. I did that for five months. And I really was sort of scared of Kevin because he's quite an aggressive man.

He's extremely charming and brilliant at what he does, really impressive. He holds a room remarkably, but I was young and susceptible. He targeted me, no question. Okay, guy. Okay. He added that he only got a respite when his coast. star in the movie Simon Baker was on the set. He recalled telling his wife,

the only days I feel safe are the days when Simon is on set because I'm dumped like a hot potato. So he's pissed. He's pissed now that Kevin just dumps him like a hot potato with Simon's on the set. Okay, he was ten times prettier than I am. Pierce's voice started a waiver a little bit when he recalled the moment he broke down in 2017,

after hearing reports of allegations made by fellow actor Anthony Rapp against Spacey, yeah, which were proved to be false. Their guy, I was in London working on something, and I heard the reports, and I broke down and sobbed. I couldn't stop. I think it really dawned on me the impact that had occurred and how I sort of brushed it off and how I had either shelved it or blocked it out or whatever.

That was really an incredible wake-up call. Was it guy? Was it? He said he has since had a couple of confrontations with Kevin that got ugly. Oh. Okay. Yeah, because I know that Spacey has had that long list of sexual assault and battery allegations going back for decades, but, you know, cases have been, oh, I don't know,

dismissed or ruled in his favor. Yeah. And they killed his career because of it. And now, you know, he's trying to recover from that. And I don't know that that's actually going to happen. But we'll see. Now, Guy Pearce, fight starter. He is also a victim adjacent.

But he wanted to, you know, he wanted to start something. So, this. story came out from uh you know from his interview on the awards chatter podcast and uh so of course uh kevin spacy had to respond and he recorded this video on acts guy pierce i've now read the comments that you made about me and while i would have preferred not to have to play this out in the media you obviously have your own reasons for wanting to do exactly that but exactly we We worked together a long time ago, you know, if I did something then that upset you, you could have reached out to me.

We could have had that conversation. But instead, you decided to speak to the press who are now, of course, coming after me because they would like to know what my response is to the things that you said. You really want to know what my response is? Grow up. Did you also, by the way, tell the press that a year after we shot LA Confidential, you flew to Savannah, Georgia while I was shooting the... midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil just to spend time with me?

Huh. I mean, did you tell the press that too? No, he did. No, he didn't. No, he didn't. Victim narrative. Yeah, that wasn't out in the awards, Jeter podcast. So anyway, I apologize that I didn't get the message that you don't like spending

time with me. I mean, maybe there was another reason. I don't know. That doesn't make any sense that you would have just been leading me on, right? But here you are now on a mission. He was finished. Some 28 years later, after I've been through hell and back to do. what just in time to stop the bad guy huh is that what's going on here what took you so long did your

horse run out of gas yep i mean you want to have a conversation i'm happy to do so anytime any place we can even do it here live on x if you yes please but guy you need to grow up not a victim there's no way that guy pierce faces kevin spacy on x with the live face to face. Not a chance. Because you read between the lines here when he talks about, oh, my only respite is when Simon was

on set. Uh-huh. Because he dumped me like a hot potato. Yeah, he was pissed because Simon was prettier than he was. And Kevin paid more attention to him. Agonizing. Guy, I like your work. I do. I enjoy your work. I got no problem with your work. But

in the words of Kevin Spacey, grow up. And look, I know you just miscalculated guy, and there's probably, you're going to have to make it go away, because there's no way you're going to face Kevin face to face because Kevin already brought receipts about you going to South Carolina after L.A. confidential to be with him. So he already has that in his back pocket, which goes against your narrative of being so shook and so just agonized over this that you couldn't even, you could barely go on. So I know the stories that you told your wife. I get it. It's okay.

I'm sure she was fine with you, Dick, and care a little business with Kevin on the side. She was happy because then she didn't have to deal with you at home. Anyway, no, that's just me talking, not you. I have no way of knowing that guy. But, you know, I know you wanted to just create some news to promote your movie and promote your work and get the brutalist out there. I got it.

But you miscalculated because you picked a fight with Kevin that you thought was an easy fight to have. Nope. Sorry, Kevin's not doing that anymore. I love that. I want that fight to continue. Is it just me? Probably.

All right, let's talk about that oddball Baron Trump. Now, we've joked around about him, you know, being 80 feet tall.

And, you know, he's just, he's had a gross spread. He's like, I don't know, 6, 7, 6, 8, something like that. And he's going to NYU, all right? And he just wants to go to college and be left alone, which is, that's a difficult task. if you're a Trump, let alone Baron Trump, let alone your dad is president of the United States of America, was

president of the United States of America, and most of the people at NYU hate Donald Trump. There's no question about it. So it's got to be, you know, tough for him to be, and it's hard not to notice him. He's just giant walking around

campus. So the NYU College Republican president, Kaya Walker. I'm sure she's a hardcore Republican at NYU, but she is the NYU College Republicans

president. Well, she was because she stepped down now. Because she faced a little backlash because she called Baron Trump an oddity on campus. Yeah. He goes to class. He goes home.

What an oddball. You freak. So she's resigned her position. That's how much heat she took for that. I mean, did she need to resign for that? I guess. But she could have come back and said, yeah,

I call him as he's an oddity on campus because he goes to class and goes home. And I didn't mean anything by it. I just thought that's what he does. an oddity because most kids don't do that. But, you know, of course, it's bashing, you know, since it's, you know, Trump world these days, you know, you can't do that. I just found it funny that Barron is like, I'm going to school and then I'm out of there.

Remember because in his, at his high school, they said he was an odd ball too because he wouldn't eat lunch there. He wouldn't eat any of their food. I don't blame him. First of all, he's got Mar-Largo. He's got the chefs at home cooking up some dinner. why eat at the school cafeteria. Sorry, I don't need my pizza rolls from Mildred.

I can go home and get the chef at Marlago, okay? Mom's got some stuff ready for me with the daily vegetables and the delicacies that we have at the day, okay? So I don't need your food, but they didn't like that much because he didn't hang out and party with him. So that's the same thing at NYU. Goes there, I'm going to class, and then I'm out. All right.

I don't need you. In fact, I have a nice little place that I live, you know, in a tower that my dad built and has his name on called Trump Tower. Yeah. I live at the top there. Yeah. That's where I stay. So, yeah, I'm not going to hang out here with you here at NYU. I love you.

You're fine. I love you. Good to see you. I'm happy to be in class with you. We can have a conversation here during class. After that, I'm out. So yesterday I mentioned Kendrick Lamar. and how his Super Bowl halftime performance

helped the musical performer. I mean, he became the first hip-hop artist to have three albums at the same time in the top 10 of the Billboard 200 albums. And I thought that was interesting how they broke that down, the first hip-hop artist. Well, I didn't have the numbers yesterday

to have them today. So yes, he's the first hip-hop rap artist to have three albums at the same time in the top 10 billiards. Billboard 200 albums. But that's, while that's the first time that it's happened

in the 69 years history of the Billboard Top 200, that's not the actual first time that it's happened. Okay. So, you know, so Lamar is,

we're going to break it down some more for you. Lamar is the first living male artist to have at least three albums concurrently in the top 10 since Herb Alpert

in 19, That was when Herb and the old Tijuana brass were huge. Then now before Lamar, the last act overall with at least three albums in the top ten was, yes, you guessed it, Taylor Swift. But Lamar, the male, Lamar is the last male artist or anyone aside from Swift to have at least three albums in the top ten at the same time. you know, that was alive because Prince was Prince did it in 2016 but that was after he died.

So congratulations to Kendrick Lamar. He is the very first hip-hop artist to have three albums at the same time in the top 10. So yeah, congratulations. You did it, Kendrick. And I mean, that's just that's a bump from the Super Bowl. That's huge. Those three albums.

Plus the, what's your face? S-Z-A-C-Z-Z-R. she is at number two and it was number one before so I mean she's getting off that Super Bowl bump as well so congratulations to Kendrick and Cesar as you're

cranking them out on the Billboard Hot 100 I know what's who I'm sorry I apologize it was not the Billboard Hot 100 it was the Billboard top 200 geez I'm down and it looks like one of

the two jobs that I said that I would do is one of them is going to open up soon because my man Louis de Joy the postmaster general is well he's stepping down he's still got the gig now he didn't just walk away he sent a letter

to the board that's the board of governors which I'm not opposed to being on the board either his letter said it's time for them to begin the process of identifying his successor Hello, my name is Jeff Fisher. Yeah, I've said that I would do the job. Call me.

You can reach out to me on X at Jeffrey JFR. Lewis, if you don't have an X account, you can reach out to me on Facebook or Instagram, Jeff Fisher Radio. That's fine. No problem. You can email me, chewing the fat at the blaze.com. Let me know, hey, you know, the job's open for you. Uh, maybe the board of governors can reach out or the White House, uh, President Trump.

I'm here for you. I'm ready to run the joint for you. Uh, I've been a big proponent of the United States Postal Service for a lot of years. And I believe that I could, uh, do the job very well. So, you know, if you want to reach out, it's fine. You can, you know, you can reach out on YouTube if you want, chewing the fat at the blaze.com. Doing the fat with Jeff Fisher is my YouTube page. You know, that's fine.

I mean, I realize it can. Camio is a little strange, but you can message me on Camio too. You can order a cameo. In fact, Lewis, if you need me to do a cameo for you, just go to at Jeffrey JFR on the Cameo app. Spend the money. You've got it. And, you know, order a cameo. And I'll do one for you.

No problem. I'll make it nice. But I'll also say at the end, I'm going to take your job. But I'm still waiting for the call. And I said one of the two jobs. Okay, so I've always wanted to be Postmaster General. Then I found out that really what you want to be is the,

on the board of governors. Because the board of governors oversees the postmaster general. Everybody's got a boss. And the board of governors, that's a good gig. Because nobody questions. I mean, the postmaster general has to go to the board of governors to get some things done. But I still, I want a postmaster general job. I want my name in every post office of America.

Postmaster general, Jeffie. That's what I want. Now, I also ran for Pope at one time in my life. and I did run for Pope I did not win. The White Spoke did not blow for me when I ran for Pope. Now at the time,

anyone could be Pope. They have since changed the rules. And you have to be a cardinal and an archbishop to be a Pope. Blah, blah, blah. Okay, they changed the rules. And I believe that they changed the rules because of me.

Because I don't know that anyone had ever run for Pope before. I created a Pope kid. have pain and I didn't win but I ran for it anyway the Pope is not well we've covered that the last couple days he's really and we found out yesterday that it's even

worse than we originally anticipated he's got both lungs infected he's really bad so things are not looking great for the Pope I hope he gets well I want him to get better I want him to do everything right and get better and roll on out of that hospital and give us

a sermon but I don't know that that's going to happen. So, you know, I'm hoping that, you know, they reach out at the Postal Service prior to something happening to the Pope because, I mean, if I'm given a choice between the U.S. Postal Service as Postmaster General and the Pope, that's a tough choice. All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink desperately. You know, I really miss football, but it is, you know, giving me time to catch up on some back shows and some shows that I haven't seen. So I'm okay with that. And there's some new shows coming out that I'm, you know, I have time to watch.

But as I'm watching some of these new shows, and there's a couple, my wife has been, I can't think that. Why do we keep seeing that? That's a two-comers. It's driving crazy. They're madding. And she's kind of right. I mean, I hate to admit it, but she's kind of.

right. So there's two commercials that keep making rounds on some of the shows that god awful shows that she watches that I'm forced to watch from time to time. And the one commercial is like a tanning salon commercial. And the lady comes out of the tanning salon. And she takes this guy's cupcake. She's walking on the street. She takes this old man's cupcake. And the old man is just like, hey. And she just walks smiling down the street because she's got her new tan and she's got this fresh cupcake that she just stole from this old man. And I'm like, what are you doing? You can't just walk around taking people's food from their hands when they're sitting out of bench.

I'm sorry, no. I don't care how happy you are with your freaking tan. All right? Then there's another commercial. And I think it's, oh, it's about the oranges. I'll think of what they're called. The little small oranges. They're called Cuddles or Cuddies or what are they called?

Oh, shoot. I think they are tangerines or oranges, but they're called something else. Cuties. Cuties, the Cuties. Yeah, okay, the cuties. Anyway, so it's a cuties commercial, and the dad says to the kid, hey, I'm sorry, I ate your last cuttie.

And the kid's playing a game, and the kid picks up like these hoses and says, oh, yeah, no problem. I'm sorry, I cut your brake lines. And then they show the car backing out of the driveway and crashing into something. And I'm like, wait. We're making it okay that the kid cut the brake lines of his dad's cars because he ate the last cutie?

No, no, no. I'm not sure what kind of ad campaigns we're running these days, but we need to maybe rethink. We've got tanning salon chicks stealing cupcakes. We've got kids cutting brake lines. I don't like it. I don't like it at all. Did I watch them a couple of times? You bet.

I mean, if I need to start up an advertising car, consultation business, I will. And I should have an advertising firm. The Chewing the Fat at at Jeffrey JFR advertising firm. I should, that absolutely. So you can reach out to me. Look, I'm here to help. I've always just been here to help.

But, man, we need to, I don't know what's happening in New York or what's happening. Maybe the fires got to the people in L.A. and we missed, I'm not sure, maybe it's AI thinking it's funny. And we're just trusting AI to run these ads. And then AI is like, Oh, it's funny.

Oh, we'll have the kid cut the dad's brake lines. No, there's no human involved that says, maybe we ought to not do that. I don't know. It just, they just really kind of irked me a little bit. And sadly, I want to agree with my wife. And I hate doing that, too, but she's right. Okay, so our dear friend, Megan Markle,

you know her, you know, Harry's wife, you know. You know what I'm talking about. So anyway, the mother. to Lilibat, who's three years old now. Apparently, Megan has decided that she needs to rebrand her website. I mean, I didn't even know that the website, the other website that she had launched. I thought that they were still in pre-launch mode,

but, you know, what do I know? Nothing is what I know, okay? So now everybody's saying, oh, Princess Lilibat has made a rare and heartwarming appearance alongside her mom. New photo featured on Megan's newly launched website for her lifestyle brand

as ever. Oh, so sweet. And the picture is her running with mom and it's just so wonderful. The intimate image captured in a picturesque setting shows the mother-daughter duo

walking hand in hand across a lush, grassy field with palm trees and the Pacific Ocean in the background. And Meg, in 43 now, dressed in white ensembles, walk barefoot across the grass. Like a puk. So it's so fake.

Anyway, she launched us as ever. Now, she posted, and she has a new Netflix series coming out with love. Oh, that comes out on March 4th. Well, I bet you that's going to be good. Anyway, I thought that her lifestyle brand American Riviera was supposed to be the site. That's where she was hawking her candles and all her BS. No, no, no, no, no. We've taken the American Riviera is gone and we're moving to as ever.

Well, then I see that she posted on her Instagram account, not that I follow her. and she was telling us about the name change, and she's so excited about the future. And, well, I'll let Megan tell you. Okay. Cats out of the bag. I'm shocked we've kept this a secret for so long. In two weeks, my show is coming out, which I'm so excited for.

And also my business, which I think there's been a lot of curiosity about it. The last year, I had thought, you know what, American Riviera? That sounds like such a great name. Yeah, that's what we all thought. It's my neighborhood. It's a nickname for Santa Barbara. But it limited me to things that were just... Did it.

...manufactured and grown in this area. Then Netflix came on not just as my partner in the show, but as my partner in my business. Wait, what? Which was huge. I thought about it. Yeah? And I've been waiting for a moment to share a name that I had secured in 2022. And this is the moment.

So she secured as ever. As ever essentially means as it's always been. And if you followed me... followed me since 2014 with the TIG, you know, I've always loved cooking and crafting and gardening. This is what I do, and I haven't been able to share it with you in the same way for the past few years, but now I can. So as things are starting to trickle out there, I wanted you to hear it from me first. Of course, there will be fruit preserves.

I think we're all clear at this point that jam is my jam. But there's so many more products that I just love that I use in my home. We are clear on that. So I can't wait for you to see it. Thanks, guys. Thanks guys. No, thank you. Thank you.

Megan, thank you. We love you. We love you. So not only is Netflix giving her money for a stupid show. Now they're investing in her business as well as ever. Netflix,

I would like to have some investment money from you as well, please. Yeah. You know what? I think that's a good idea. I think I can consult Netflix on many things. There's a number of things that I have issues with with Netflix, but I'm happy to sit down at the table with them for,

but I don't want to do that unless they're paying me. You know, I could come up with a, you know, a new name for the show. We can rebrand the show, you know, as fat or, you know, forever fat. You know me. You know me. I think you know by now, jam is my jam. Ugh.

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 will 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. So yesterday, we talked about the death of Paquita La Del Barrio, the Mexican songstress of feminist anthems who had passed away and has passed away at the age of 77 and rest in peace. But I didn't know a lot about her. So I was reading a little bit more about her yesterday. And she did not like the gays.

She was not a fan of the gays. She, you know, wasn't a fan of men a lot of times. You know, she was a big proponent of women, you know, speaking up for themselves and that they don't need to live with men who don't respect us. Big on that. I mean, those were her songs. And she said, I don't hold grudges, the people who have caused me pain, I'll forget about them.

Never, ever will I hold a grudge. Okay. and she I mean she's they loved her the women the feminists loved her now uh but then I find out that she didn't and it talked about how she got started

uh you know in the 70s she was performing with her sisters until she dumped her and uh then she got married to some guy that was older than her that created some songs but they got rid of each other and then she got married to some other guy a few years later so anyway but she was in

troubled for from 2010 on really because she did not like the gays and she said at some interview that when posed with two options she

would rather see a child die on the street that'd be adopted by a gay couple ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha oh that is Paquita la da Mario dead at the age of 77. Good riddance!

So she apologized for that, though. She did apologize for that. She attributed the homophobic comment to her poor education. So, okay. All right. Then a few years later, when she was talking about the Pulse Nightclub mass shooting there in Orlando, Florida, she condemned the shooter, which, you know, good, no problem. You should.

He was a despicable person. and then she also said you know but my son you know I don't want to I don't want to know my son's in another relationship with another man I mean if people are happy that way you know so be it

but and we're done with the interview now she did not like the gays so good ridden I said rest in peace but good riddness to her.

I'll tell you that right now. She was a superstar to the feminists, and she, you know, did wonderful and sang and performed and created some great memories for, well, a lot of feminists. But she, you know, whatever, just a mean, nasty lady. What kind of? Paquita La Delbario, still dead. So let me ask you a question.

If you were hit in the face with a crossbow, you think it live? I don't know. I don't know the answer to that. Maybe you will. Maybe you wouldn't. I don't know. The owner of a New Jersey pet store where a $7,000 parrot was stolen a few weeks ago, don't look at me.

I wasn't in Jersey. I didn't have anything to do with it. It was an African gray. I used to have a yellow-naped Amazon parrot, but that wasn't the African-Gray. And I love that stupid bird. Actually, I didn't have it. My first mother-in-law owned him.

His name was Pete. And that bird, I love that bird. And I was one of the few people that he would let. We had a big cage. I was able to stick my hand in there, and he would get on my arm and come out. He'd fly around the house a little bit, hang out. He would sing way down upon the Swanee River.

And he fell in love with my oldest son, Elvis. He would come in out, Elvis! Elvis! When my son was real little, he stayed with my mother-in-law for a while, you know, off and on. We were working. I was working at the radio station in her town.

Anyway, Elvis was there a lot. So she put, we had a little, we had a playpen cage prison for the kid. You know, you just put Elvis in the cage and that's where you're going to be at. And we used that until he was able to just pick up the cage and move it. Anyway, so, uh, he, the cage was blocked in between the bird cage and the sofa. And so they became, Elvis and that bird were like, tight. man Elvis could pick up that bird throw it against the wall, kick it, spit on it, throw it

and that bird would just go, Elvis, Elvis, Elvis, Elvis, he loved that stupid bird. Anyway, that darn bird. I miss Pete, I miss Pete. We used to watch that damn bird, I tell you. Anyway, so this lady who had an African gray stolen from her, sorry about that. But, all right, so that was a couple weeks ago. Well, now she was a victim. They broke into her store and somebody, I guess, shot a crossbow at her.

She's alive. I know. I don't know if the crossbow missed. Maybe it was just the crossbow. Maybe it wasn't the bow from the crossbow. Maybe it was just the crossbow that he threw at her. I don't know. They say someone shot her in the face with a crossbow.

So it must have, you know, grazed her head or something or grayed. your face. It must not have actually hit her in the face. Because that's like, you ever watch, there's a show it's on Paramount Plus called Joe Peacock. I mean Joe Pickett, Joe Peacock, it's on Paramount Network

and his name is Joe Pickett. He's not on Peacock Network and he's not a peacock. And there's a part of that show where he gets shot in the face and his wife thinks that he actually got shot in the face. Like what you think about when someone says, I got shot in the face.

You think you got shot in the face. But he actually just got grazed, you know, on the side of his head. So maybe that's what happened. So anyway, she was taken to the hospital and treated for these serious injuries and is expected to survive. She's recovering and the store is closed now. So she's, I mean, she's not even worried about that damn African gray now. I was just amazed that she actually got shot in the face with a crossbow. and she lived.

So, I mean, the suspect ran off after shooting her in the face. It's not clear who the assailant is if the assailant knew her. It's just strange to me that, you know, to talk about a tough woman. Yeah, I got shot in the face with a crossbow. I'm still here.

That's annoying. What? You're a muffler. You don't hear it? Oh, I don't even notice it. I usually drown it out with the radio. How's this? Oh, yeah, way better.

So I guess we're supposed to feel bad, but I kind of don't. There was a report that the home of, well, one of the homes, of Nicole Kidman and hubby Keith Urban were, had been broken into in Los Angeles. And it was a report of recently burglarized, another report of Los Angeles crime.

And so it's in Beverly Hills. There was, apparently, they weren't home. So don't breathe easy. Nicole and Keith are okay. Are they, I know, they weren't home. But the help, a staff member, came to the house and caught somebody in the act at the house. source said the employee was arriving at the home after a burglar had just smashed a glass door to gain access. And then when the intruder heard the member of the staff arriving, it took

off. The intruder took off. So they said now, it's unclear if the intruder was able to get any of the property before the staff arrived. And amazingly, no arrests have been made. So I don't know if anything was stolen. I don't know if perhaps there was something that was stolen and the staff member happened to be the one to take it and said, well, the only way I can get away with taking this is saying there was a break-in. So I'm going to say there was a break-in.

So we'll see what happens. It's a pretty nice trailer that Nicole and Keith have for at times when they're in L.A. You know, I know that they have, I'm sure they have multiple homes around the globe. Actually, I wonder how many homes they do have.

It's got to be a minimum of three, right? A minimum of three. So you got a place in L.A. You got to have a place in Nashville for Keith. You got to have a place in Australia. I mean, I have to have a townhouse in, a townhouse in New York.

You have to have that. Duh. I mean, We're not expected to stay somewhere. When I go to New York, are we? No, no, I'm staying in Manhattan. Maybe a place in London? Nah, no.

Paris, maybe. Maybe Spain. Somewhere in there, maybe. Maybe the south of France for the winter. But for sure, Australia, you know, they've got a great huge pad in Australia. No, there's no doubt about that. That's where they spend as much time as they can, I'm sure, when we don't have to come back to this next.

nasty United States and live in this dump that people are breaking into in L.A. So we do know that as I was reading some more of the report of the break-in, the glass door was smashed. A glass door was smashed. And the house was ransacked.

So the burglar got in. Or the staff member ransacked the place to make it look like the burglar got in and then went ahead and took I don't know. know what that 30,000

vase maybe a picture frame that was made of diamonds, who knows what was taken? I don't know. I don't know. Does do they have anything they keep in L.A. Oh yes, I love that. That was given to me a few years

ago. I have that in my L.A. home. It's possible, I guess. But again, I'm supposed to care. And I don't. They try to tie this in with the with the athletes getting robbed. You know, they tried, oh, yes,

Joe Burrow and Patrick Bowles and Travis Kelsey, their houses were broken into. Yeah, by an illegal gang from Chile as they were breaking into athletes' homes. And it wasn't just those two. I mean, there were some basketball NBA players that got their homes broken into, too. That's a pretty smart move on their part, man.

That was good. That was good. Out of all. What if I said no? No. What if I said no? you can't chime in. Okay.

I'll just, I'll just, what is it? Okay, well, all it was going to say is that if you're going to go rob a home in L.A., why there? It's like the athletes, Kansas City, it's not a lot of plethora of homes

you can invade, but like L.A., you're going to go to Nicole Kidman's? I'm just saying there's better. Well, I mean, first of all, it's in Beverly Hills. So if it's a house that's been, if it were for truly believing

it's not the help. and it is a criminal. You've got to think that it's empty, right? They aren't there. They said they weren't there. Who knows what residents they were staying at at the time. I mean, they may be filming or doing a concert here or there at one of their other homes in Nashville, New York, Australia,

wherever the hell else they have a home. Or it's one of the homes in L.A. that didn't burn down. So they picked, hey, let's go there and see what? what they have. Fair enough. All right, let's get to the joke of the day and get out of here for the day. I told you yesterday. I teased it yesterday. This is from Ben.

Ben has got the family working on jokes of the day. I like it. He sent me an email chewing the fat at the blaze.com. I see all your emails. Thank you. I read them all. I may not respond to them all, but I do see them. Thank you very much. And I appreciate all of you, you know, sending me your jokes of the day or what you're working on,

you're writing. I see a couple of you are writing every day. That's good. You need to do that. You need to work on that every day. Ben has got the family working on writing jokes. He claimed that he's got a joke here from his seven-year-old daughter. He's got a joke in here from his best friend. I mean, he's got everybody working on jokes of the day. So I appreciate it, Ben.

That doesn't necessarily mean, yeah, I appreciate the jokes. But, you know, okay, so we'll start with this. This, I guess, is from Ben because it doesn't specify it's from the daughter or the neighbor or the friend. what is the difference between a dirty public transit stop and a lobster with breast with breast implants? I don't know. What's the difference between a dirty public transit stop and a lobster with breast implants? Well, one is a crusty bus station. The other is a busty crustacean.

See, because now you understand. The second one in Ben's family email chain. why does Norway put bar codes on their battleships? I feel like I've done this one before. I feel like this is highway robbery from Ben. Why does Norway

put bar codes on their battleships? I don't know, Jeff. Why does Norway put barcodes on their battleships? So they can Scandinavian. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Okay. So this is the joke from his daughter.

A seven-year-old daughter, wow. Okay, making the seven-year-old kid. Got homework? No, okay, we're writing jokes. I went to the pet shop to buy a big dog, but they wanted to charge me too much. So I had to get a little rough. Get it?

A little rough as a little dog. That's adorable. I mean, I can't beat up the seven-year-old daughter. It's funny. It's funny. And then this, according to him, is from his best friend. Oh, I'm sorry. I said it was his best friend.

No, this was his best friend's dad brought in the whole family. That he used to tell us when we were teenagers. I don't actually get this one. But maybe the joke is that it doesn't make sense. What's the difference? between a duck. One leg is both the same as the other. Yeah, no, he was just...

It doesn't make sense at all. What's the difference between a duck? Now, we're done. Thanks, Ben. Stream and subscribe to more Blaze Media content at theblaze.com slash podcasts.
