Blaze Radio Network And now, Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher. We were almost hit. I don't know that I knew this. A small asteroid about the size of two house cats burned up in the Earth's atmosphere

just over the Philippine island of Luzon on Wednesday, the 4th of September 2024. This according to NASA and the European Space Agency, ESA. The roughly one meter, You know, the size of two housecats, made impact. Made impact. So we weren't almost hit.

We were hit. Wow. The asteroid in question has been designated 2024 RW1. And man, when you get hit by 2024 RW1, you are in trouble. Except we weren't because it did not cause any damage, according to the experts. So 2024 RW1 is only the ninth ever asteroid discovered by scientists before impacting Earth. So we saw it coming. And it was like, eh, that's just 2024 RW1.

And don't worry about it. It's fine. It's only the size of two house cats. If it was the size of three house cats, then, then and only then would be, we be concerned, but we don't have to worry about it. It already made impact and we're fine, aren't we? Yeah, we're fine. Then we have more space news.

The International Space Station is going to be free of the Boeing Starliner. They're supposed to be setting that free today, the 6th of September, 2024, or at least tonight sometime this evening. If, you know, there's no weather issues, and if, you know, there are weather issues then sometime in the next, you know, few days. But they're supposed to cut it loose and it's supposed to take about if it does what it's supposed to do. I killed me. So if the International Boeing's Space Center does what it's supposed to do on docking from the International Space Station correctly and then coming back into our atmosphere and landing with a parachute at the White Sands Space Harbor in New Mexico,

barring any unforeseen incidences, then they have a, they claim NASA says there'll be lengthy analysis and ground test. Yeah, we should have already been doing a whole bunch of that to understand the cause of the propulsion system problems that arose from this entire debacle that Boeing and NASA have done. And the two astronauts will be stuck in space. Then we are also supposed to have the launch of Polaris Dawn this weekend. That's supposed to happen tomorrow, the 7th of September, 2024. And that's scheduled to go tomorrow morning early, like 3.30 a.m. Eastern time.

And so barring, you know, any weather issues, that will happen tomorrow. and that's been postponed for several times. They postponed it a couple of days because of weather, and then they postponed it because they got grounded by the FAA, and the FAA has now said, no, the Falcon 9s are not. They're ungrounded, you're fine. And they did a test one with the one of the Falcon 9 rockets yesterday,

and it went off and landed perfectly on the drone ship. So we should be good to go with the Polaris dawn, barring any issues with weather. Welcome. Welcome to chewing the fat. You could be a witch and not even know it. I know. Me too. I could be a witch. Actually, I think I am. I mean, I know we're getting close to, you know, Halloween.

And that's, you know, the next big celebration that we're supposed to have is Halloween. I think Halloween is the 31st of October this year. And then when is time changed? Do we have the daylight savings, right? Okay, it's after Halloween. November 3rd is the time change. So we'll be able to, you know, save some time. We're not saving time.

We're saving daylight. But that comes after Halloween this year. I mean, companies are already coming out with their stupid Halloween stuff. We've got Chip-O-Lay is debuting their first-ever costume collection featuring a napkin, a fork, water cup, burrito, and a to-go bag. Yeah, that's what I want to dress up as. A Chipotle to-go bag. Ha, kind of funny.

And I see where Stanley, you know, the cup company, the Tumblr company, Stanley, they have a new Halloween costume out that, you know, you can dress up as a Stanley Tumblr. And it's kind of cute. Yeah, it's a cute thing. That's fine. And those will be available. And if you get them now, then you've already got it. You're good to go.

And you'll be fine, no problem. You'll be ready to go. And plus, the way the Chipotle outfits look, I'm not wearing one of them. I am not wearing one. I don't care if it's a napkin or if it's a fork or water or a water cup or burrito or a go bag. I am not fitting in that. It looks like the speed skater outfits for the Olympics, and I am not wearing that. I'm more of a Stanley Tumblr.

suit kind of guy. And so that's just me though. That is just me. Anyway, back to being a witch. According to the brilliant, according to this article, evolutionary astrologer Angie Hamilton, love her, of you, me, and the stars. Man, do I love that.

She shares her insights about which birth chart placements, you know, have which vibes. Now, I know I had a chart done, an astrology chart done for me a long time ago. And I wish I got, you know, I'm sure it's somewhere in a box in the garage. But it was a long time ago that I actually had my chart done.

And it begins, you know, the birth charts and they want to know, you know, what time you were born. And they're, according to the you, me, and the stars, star, Angie Hamilton, there are six placements likely holding a fair share of hocus pocus

and whether you know it or not. It just depends, okay, and that determines whether you are a star-born witch. The first indicator of witchiness is being born at night, which I was, making your birth chart a nocturnal

or night chart. Now, of course they say the famous one is Stevie White Wing Dove Nix. I don't know that I ever heard her called Stevie White Wing Dove Nix, but, you know, whatever, that's fine. Stevie Nix. She can be all the which she wants. Then there's the Northern Hemisphere Dominance,

is used to describe a birth chart where the majority of the planets sit in the bottom half of the chart. Yeah, I'm not sure about that for me. Okay. But she says that if you have northern dominance, you're more private, have stronger karmic bonds, and also have more family trauma and drama, formative early pain that contributes to their witchiness.

I think that's me. I feel like I'm, I think I feel like I'm in it. Power players in your fourth, eighth, and 12th houses. Don't pretend like you don't know what that is. All three houses are known as water houses, as they are traditionally ruled by the water signs, cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces.

Yeah, I see, I'm an Aquarius. So I thought that was a, Water sign too. No, okay. The fourth house is associated with home and root systems, carmic ties, and ancestral trauma. The eighth house, I have that, the eighth house with sex, death, secrets,

and other people's property. Yeah, I got that. I have that too. While the 12th house is the house of ghosts, hidden enemies, self-sabotage, spirituality, and psychic phenomena. In essence, the waterhouses are the, witch houses.

See? Yeah, they all pile up and come together. Then the north node relates to our soul's purpose, while the south node points to past life experiences. If either node falls in the sign of the perpetual outsider, chances are you're a witch. And here we go. Aquarius is the energy of being ostracized by society or being looked at as if you're different or we're, Beard or odd.

Hello, that's me, which is a super witchy cause, which is where the first rebels. I'm a witch. Then you have, if Uranus is a strong aspect of your sun, moon, or rising sign, that's a clear indicator that the weird and the witchy are strong in you. So you have to have Uranus as a strong aspect to your sun, moon, or rising sign. I mean, I have a strong Uranus. So, I mean, I believe that I'm a witch.

I should talk to the evolutionary astrologer, Angie Hamilton, of you, me, and the stars. And I'll have her do a chart for me because I know. I mean, just reading this? Yeah. I think many of you feel the same way that you are, but I know that I am a witch. Jeff, that would be a warlock. You're a male. You'd be a warlock, not a witch.

You ever watch the documentary television show bewitched? Yes, I have. So you can call me a witch or a warlock. I believe that I have those powers. I haven't used them. Maybe I should. Maybe I should. With MX 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. Oh, it's finally over. So there's a city in DFW, the Dallas-F-W-Fort Worth Metroplex called Grand Prairie. And the last couple days in this neck of the woods, they've had people told people, don't use your water. You can use it in the toilet, but don't cook with it, don't drink it, don't wash with it, don't do anything. People were freaking out.

I saw some stories. My child touched the bathroom water and we freaked out. I know. I mean, it does weird things to you, but apparently we know now, and it's okay. It's over. It's okay. Now you go right ahead. Sure, remember to flush out your entire system.

Let the hot water run for about 15 minutes and then flush everything else. out and then if it still looks cloudy I'd do it again. And I'm sure that'll be free. They won't charge you for that. Anyway, the foam, because they had this foamy tap water happening,

I guess it came from a blaze. They put out a fire at an industrial warehouse earlier on Tuesday of this past week, of this week, and they used this foam to help penetrate the blaze. And

complicated by hoarder-like conditions at the warehouse in the great southwest industrial district, a back flow caused the contaminant to enter the water supply. Since then, I hate those warehouses that have boxes everywhere.

Why does a warehouse have boxes everywhere? It doesn't make any sense. It was hoarder-like in there. Anyway, the crews have flushed the water supply with more than 2 million gallons of water since. The firefighting foam comes from the brand

Microblaze and touts itself as environmentally friendly according to the website and city officials it does not contain PFAs a group of synthetic chemicals known as forever chemicals because they do not break down in the environment

so the city were giving away free bottles of water and they were bringing people people were going on to other people's homes outside of Grand Prairie to take their showers and cook their meals and eat their food and they were you know sleeping in the house but they were afraid because of the soapy water okay all right it's got foam everywhere and so it's okay now all right so we're fine don't worry about just make sure that you uh you know stick to the plan to flush your water you should

run hot water from all faucets for 15 minutes followed by five minutes of cold water and then if it's still, you know, cloudy, as I said, repeat the procedure. And they've done this at all the schools. The schools apparently are back open. They've flushed the system, the drinking fountains, all of that. People were concerned as well, they should have been.

I mean, they didn't know what. They told you you shouldn't boil the water. Boiling doesn't help it. And they don't drink, cook, brush teeth, make beverages, ice. Don't let your pets or animals drink it. No dishwashing. And other people were like, hey. That's a problem, right?

I mean, I took a shower before you told me this. So am I going to be okay? Oh, yeah, you'll be fine. Don't worry about it. That foamy agent, you're fine. It's environmentally friendly. So, you know, let's say you live in a city that has foaming agent found in the water. And you think to yourself, you know, sure, I know that it was an accident,

but maybe I ought to try to find someplace else to live. I can try to sell this place and, you know, try to buy a house someplace else where I feel like I don't have to worry about foaming agents in the water.

Cameo is like the organ grinder for me.

And you pay the organ grinder and the little monkey He just does whatever you want. Yeah, that's what it is. It's not difficult to understand. Back to Harvard, Weinstein. So Harvey got some good news. He is not going to be tried in the UK. I know.

The Crown Prosecution Service, which said, hey, we've got two charges of indecent assault against Mr. Weinstein. Yeah, we're not going to do that. You know, it's no longer a realistic prospect of conviction. We explained our decision to all parties And we would always encourage any potential victims of sexual assault To come forward and report to police And we will prosecute wherever our legal test is met.

Huh, okay. Now, he is facing new charges in New York. We've talked about that. You know, that case got thrown out. But he's still in jail because he was convicted in California. And California is busy trying to get him transferred out there. New York is like, he's too sick, and we're going to retry him anyway, so why don't you just leave him

where he's at? And California wants to drag his old butt out there so they have him in California jail. They want him to die in California. New York wants him to die in New York, and they just keep hammering the guy. So we'll see. He faces a new trial. They won't let it go.

We got thrown out there. Oh, no, we're seeking a new indictments. And we have some new people we're going to bring to the forefront. Oh, okay. Well, let's do it. Let's see what you got. And, all right. I guess the New York grand jury, the latest grand jury term expires on Friday.

So they're expecting an indictment against Harvey by the end of this week or, yeah, by the end of this week, by today, we should know. If this story is talking about Friday, which it is today, for those of you listening live, we may know today whether they're going to, you know, if they actually have some, you know, if the grand jury actually found enough to indict Harvey Weinstein again. Gee, I wonder if that will happen. And we still have the Jennifer Lopez, Ben Affleck.

Yeah, I know. Benifer, still a thing. They're still married technically, although she is filed for a divorce. We're getting stories now that they both didn't like the $68 million dump that they bought. Yeah, I hate it. buy that $68 million dump and you both didn't like, you know, whatever.

We're all in on it. Look, I didn't want the 12 bedrooms, the 24 bathrooms. I don't want that. I didn't need a guest house. Now I didn't want that. I shouldn't have spent all that money remodeling everything around the house and property and having security measures upgraded to the house. No, because it was a dump I never liked it to begin with.

Apparently, Ben for sure didn't like it because he had to travel an extra I think this house was seven miles. And in Los Angeles, that's what, an hour and a half drive? So it's seven miles from the kids. But they got the bigger house so the kids could stay with him. But I guess once your face was not letting his kids stay with their. So they had J-Lo's kids and they had Ben's kid once in a while. So I guess the $68 million dump was just a compromise for both of them.

And now they're trying to unload it because and they're saying some people are saying oh yeah um it's probably not worth that much so you know they're going to be fighting over how much the house is worth and they can't sell it so they're it's going to unload it for a you know whatever price they can get Ben's living in his Brentwood house I don't know if he's renting that or if he bought that place but he when he moved out of the when he moved out of the 68 million dollar dump he went to the you know the single wide down in Brentwood So the J-Lo Ben Affleck fight is still ongoing, and I, for one, am here for it.

And we were told that J-Lo wore a ring on her wedding finger earlier this week when she was out and about. So I don't know if that was just for show. I know she's gearing up, I guess, to she's going to have to be with Matt Damon at the Toronto International Film Festival for, for the premiere of Unstoppable, which was co-produced with Damon's production company. Yeah. So, you know, I don't think Ben will show up for that, but he and, you know, Matt and Ben are best of buds.

So, you know, we'll see J-Lo might have been just wearing the ring just to tick Ben off. I can see her doing that. And I just want to reiterate as well to J-Lo, I'm here for you. email me chewing the fat at the blaze.com and let me know let me know if I can do anything for you anything at all so they all got their

awards places to go to and their premieres to go to so you've got the Toronto Film Festival coming up the Venice Film Festival is wrapping up Joker earned a 12 and a half minute ovation early reviews praised performances by

by all actors in the movie. I can't wait. I'm excited to see Joker Fulet adieu. But they, according to these reviews, coming from Venice, Gaga is criminally underused.

Oh, wow. So we need more of Gaga, apparently. Then Kevin Costner's Horizon, an American saga chapter two, is supposed to close the festival this weekend. So I wish they'd just release it, I mean, we've all seen, let's see, we've seen one, we saw it at the theaters, we've seen it on HBO Max, let's go ahead and give us number two.

Don't wait any longer. You're not going to gain any more viewers, just give us number two so we can have it. And then let's get number three out of the way so that Kevin can release the three-box set of the American saga horizon and make his money that way. Okay? Are we clear with that? No, we're not. I'm not on the same page as you?

Well, we should be. It looks like SAGA Aftera scored a little bit of a win with its video game strike. 80 game projects have signed the union's interim agreement, allowing work to continue amid the ongoing dispute. The main sticking point was how to protect actors from AI replicas. The major studios balked at SAG AFTER's proposed safeguards against digital replication. Smaller developers like LightSpeed LA have embraced them. This move not only provides employment for union members,

but also challenges the stance of larger companies. Sag after's Duncan Crabtree, Ireland, love Duncan, argues this proves their AI terms are reasonable, feasible, and sustainable. The strike is now entering its six-week. I mean, California just passed a law to require consent for AI digital replicas of dead performers. So there's that. I mean, I don't know what we're doing for people who are alive.

We don't care about you, but once you're dead, man, you better have your buttons all buttoned up, okay? So this means that deceased performers can maintain some control over AI-created fakes and replicas of their figures. So passage of AB-1836 is a statement. So there you have it. They're just awaiting the signature from Governor Newsom. Will that happen? I don't know. Your guess is as good as mine. I'm sure it will, because it looks like you're paying attention to SAG Aftera.

It looks like you're paying attention to AI, and you're caring for dead people. So, got to say yes to most of that, don't you? It's hockey season, and you can get anything you need delivered with Uber Eats. Well, almost, almost anything. So no, you can't get a nice rank on Uber Eats.

Who died today? Who died today? Well, let's begin with the death of the Olympian, the 33-year-old. old Ugandan an athlete Rebecca Cheptigay Cheptigai Yeah that's close enough

That's what I said Rebecca Cheptigai Yes the 33 year old Ugandan athlete Who ran in the Paris Olympics She is dead

Because Well her husband burned to her body Apparently The father said She had reported Her ex Several times

Were domestic Violence to police but they were slow to handle it, and she tried to take control of Chephtagai's house and property, and to no avail. He set her on fire in front of her kids. So sad. So very, very sad.

So the violence against women persist across the world, according to this story. And the Cheptagai's death highlights an alarming. That's correct, right? Cheptigai. Yeah, okay, Cheptig. Cheptig. Cheptig.

Cheptig. Cheptag. You say tomato, I say tomato. So Cheptigai's death highlights an alarming increase in Femicides in Kenya. Between 2016 and 20203, at least 500 women in Kenya have been murdered by their intimate partners. Wow. It's a crisis that extends across Africa and with the United Nations reporting it is the continent

with the highest rate of gender-related killings in 2022. There's also a pattern of athletes like Chep de Geh, facing brutality in Kenya, in Kenya within the last three years, long distance runners were murdered to Agnes Tairap and Demerius Muta. We're murdered in the country to prevent future tragedies. I guess they've been talking to world athletes and leaders and how to better protect the athletes from abuse of all kinds. Yeah, I mean, pretty much. That's a good idea. Let's show them that they don't have to put up with this and they can get away.

But good times in Kenya, good times. Rest in peace. Rebecca Chephtagai, 33, dead in Uganda. Then we have, well, not a person, but a thing. Volvo had said that they were going to go all-electric by 2030. Except now no. So all-electric cars by 2030 by Volvo. dead.

Swedish automaker said, yeah, you know, our near-term goal of selling only electric vehicles, we need to be pragmatic and flexible amid the changing market conditions and cooling demand. Yeah, there's a cooling demand, all right.

Like nobody wants them, okay? So, if you, you know, they said that they were going to go all-electric by 2030, at least they're realizing, nay, we can't do that. Nobody wants them, and we be completely out of business. So rest in peace to Volvo, all-electric by 2030.

Oh, and, you know, speaking of cars with a V, this is what made me think of it. Former Volkswagen CEO Martin Winkercorn, his criminal child is underway. I remember Dieselgate. The scandal began because nine years after the German automaker, years ago, they were accused of rigging emissions tests. And Wintercorn, 77 now, faces charges of fraud, market manipulation, and perjury.

Yeah, I mean, I don't know that he's guilty of all of that, but he's definitely guilty of rigging the emission test. So if he found guilty, he could face up to 10 years in prison. He has denied all charges. I mean, okay. I mean, he's going to fight it. He's 77. I mean, is he need to go to prison for 10 years?

He'll be, you know, maybe he's in good enough shape that he figures he will be alive in 10 years. So we'll see. In 2015, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency accused Volkswagen of installing illegal software dubbed defeat devices in diesel cars to manipulate emissions tests to pass environmental standards. The device could switch off a car's emissions control system

while driving on the road and reactivate it during emissions testing on the dinas. Minamow meter. When shut off, the defeat devices allowed nitrogen oxide emissions up to 40 times higher than the legal limit. Those bastards! How are we to get by with nitrogen oxide emissions emitting 40 times higher than the legal limit? Wow. Now, I mean, that costs Volkswagen huge for that.

They've already paid, I think, $38 billion in fines and compensation. that's not enough. All right, we've got to kick winter corn right where it hurts because he was the CEO at the time. So there's that happening. You know, another thing that's going on that I kind of like, and I guess you could say it's been going on for a long time, but just nobody talked about it.

But apparently singles in Spain, I'm sure this is going on in the U.S. as well, are turning to supermarket-based matchmaking. hoping to find their special someone. I disagree with that line. They're not hoping to find their special someone. They're just hoping to find someone for a little business. That's all.

So apparently this trend, I think we've talked about this trend before on TikTok, involves putting a pineapple upside down in one's shopping cart between 7 and 8 p.m. at stores in the popular supermarket in Spain. And then that alerts other signals, other singles that you're ready for business. I mean that you're available and invites them to bump their cart into your cart.

Hey, how you doing? If both people end up in the wine section, it's a match. Oh, yeah. I just walk around the old grocery store with the upside down pineapple looking for business. So apparently, the staff is upset. I don't know why they would be upset. Well, because people are walking around with the pineapple and are not buying the pineapple.

So make them buy the pineapple, even if they just throw it out or leave it. So if they come in and they want to use the pineapple, it could be pineapple bidness night, and make them buy the pineapple for two or three bucks or however much a pineapple cost these days, probably isn't two or three bucks. And then they could just roll around your store.

Maybe they'll buy something else at the time. Maybe. doesn't happen, but they decide that, you know what, I'm going to get the pint of ice cream anyway. Maybe. But so last week, apparently police were called to one of the stores due to an unruly crowd. But the cops apparently didn't have to intervene. I don't know what happened. They were mad.

She's, I hit her card first. That pineapple chick is mine. What are you fighting about? And so now I guess some stores are setting up business time. And instead of pineapples, the stores are saying, hey, why don't you put a watermelon in your cart if they're looking for love? So it's kind of like some kind of big piece of fruit in your cart, wandering around the grocery store looking for business.

So if you're at a big store and you want to, you know, set up a business night, set it up tell the story hey order order some extra watermelon or some extra pineapple or some extra cantalop or whatever it is and then post that you're going to have bidness knight at croaker or bidness knighted win dixie and you can just wander around the store you know with your giant watermelon or eggplant in your cart and start bumping into people and see uh you know if you get a excuse me well they weren't part of the deal that's why they have the fruit of their car okay i get and you'd be good to go. So I apparently, you know, I know that these people are getting, I don't know, disillusioned with Tinder and Bumble,

and they want to try to have some kind of new way to meet singles. You know, just like old school days when you'd go out and get drunk and find, you know, another drunk one and then fall in love for the night. Remember, there's all kinds of songs about that. So now there's going to be songs about pineapple in the season. file. Oh yeah. And maybe, you know, I know Kroger and Albertsons are trying to get together.

They've got something, I don't know, $24, $25 billion merger deal that they're trying to put together. And the antitrust people are saying, hey, hey, hey, we need to calm down. We don't want, we don't want too big grocery chains getting too big for their britches. And they're saying, hey, we've got to compete against Costco and Walmart.

So, you know, but we'll come together. We can make that happen. Maybe if they set up, say, hey, if we merger together, and then we can have, you know, pineapple in the cart, business night weekly. We'll set up, you know, neighborhood nights of love at the grocery store. Maybe that will help the merger along. Then again, maybe not. That, of course, is a quote from Lumier, from the original Beauty of the Beast by Jerry Arbor. Orbach, rest in peace, who's dead member, Angela Lansbury, rest in peace as Mrs. Potts,

and Beauty of the Beast. And Jerry Arbock was the candelabra, Lumier. And that was his line. One of my favorite all-time lines from a movie is Jerry Arbock as the candelabra to the beast. Then again, maybe not. It just makes me laugh every time I have to say the words. Then again, maybe not. Now, many of you may be thinking, then again, maybe not to this, but I am all for it.

So there is a humanoid robot designed for home use. We've talked about several companies that are creating these humanoid robots. It's powered by AI. It's machine learning. And with the AI machine learning, it's going to learn and refine tasks through real world feedback. It's 66 pounds features a soft cushioned, jumpsuit to enhance safety. Neo-Beta will be tested in select homes later this year before mass production in

Norway. So it's a lightweight and soft design, no pinch points, prioritize safety, of course. The market for humanoid robots is expanding with significant funding pouring into the sector. Yeah, I would like to say this to Neo-Beta. Jeff Fisher is my name. You can reach out to me at Chewing the Fat at the Blaze.com. Yes, I want Neo Beta.

I'm just going to call it Do or Dewey, because that's going to be my do-boy. And yes, I want it to do tasks. Well, I'm watching college football on Saturdays, Friday nights and Saturdays. I want Dewey to be, you know, cleaning the house. And I want it to be able to do dishes. I'll settle for just putting the dishes in the dishwasher if I have to, if it can't dip its hands in water, you know, we'll work it out.

But as long as we're beta testing, I want it to, I'm going to push it to the limit. So send me Neo Beta and let me, you know, beta test it in my house because I'm all for it. And I want, I don't want to have to program it and tell it, you know, I want it to know, okay, when I say dishes,

I want it to clean. I'm sweep, mop, bathroom, clean. When I say that, that's what I wanted to do. And then I can continue on watching the football game.

And I want that to happen bad. So email me chewing the fat at ablaze.com 1X technologies because Neo-Beta needs to be beta tested in my home. And I'm sure what I'm going to hear from my wife is then again, maybe not. But I want this thing

at my home. Then again, maybe not. This episode is brought to you by Peloton. A new era of fitness is here.
