Starting point is 00:00:00 With Amex Platinum, you have access to over 1,400 airport lounges worldwide. So your experience before takeoff is a taste of what's to come. That's the powerful backing of Amex. Conditions apply. Blaze Radio Network. And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. Just in time for the summer grilling season, Purdue has now come out with a beer-can chicken beer. Yay!
Starting point is 00:00:32 I know. It's something you probably didn't think you needed, but you do. The classic grilled chicken seasonings like rosemary, thyme, and pink peppercorn are in this beer can chicken beer. There's citra hops, honey, rosemary, thy, rosemary, thy, and pink peppercorn. No parsley sage, though. Sorry. Sorry about that. So the beer can.
Starting point is 00:01:00 chicken beer is a limited edition brew and it goes on sale today online. Today, if you're listening live, is the 22nd of May 2023. You can go to beercan chicken. Beer and get a six pack
Starting point is 00:01:16 for 1499. Shipping and handling. You're going to have to cover that as well. Purdue is not covering that for you. Sorry. And so they are also going to sell chickens, their whole chickens, with special.
Starting point is 00:01:30 packaging at grocery stores promoting the beer. Yay. Apparently, recipes for beer canned chicken have, you know, really gone crazy in the last few years. But according to Purdue's research, that searches peak around Memorial Day, so they wanted to get it out. And so they just wanted people to know that Purdue's ale infuses the bird with flavor, marinating it from inside out. But it keeps the chicken moist and tender during the cooking process. So if you don't want to put it on your chicken, I would say, go ahead and just drink it because nothing says summer and grilling season like beer can chicken beer.
Starting point is 00:02:13 Yum, yum, welcome. Welcome to chewing the fat. Well, we know that it was the Jerusalem Post that started telling us the different sizes of asteroids, you know, the 10 camels, 100 Olympic pools. Well, we know now today, thanks to the Jerusalem Post, that an asteroid the size of around 20 bald eagles, is set to have a close flyby today. The 22nd of May,
Starting point is 00:02:46 2023. 2023, JK3, according to the Center for Near Earth Object Studies, and I love them, and they are at the NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, the JPL. However, the
Starting point is 00:03:02 asteroid is just one of four that's going to pass the earth today. Oh, okay. So, they're all going to miss us? Yes, they are all going to miss us. So asteroid 2023 JK7, which is the,
Starting point is 00:03:20 which is 80 meters, or around 51.5 Hungarian gray cattle. That's a pretty big asteroid, actually. Asteroid 2023, GY2, approximately 160 meters. We're getting bigger. Around the size of eight giant ore fish,
Starting point is 00:03:42 the largest of all bony fish species. And asteroid 2023 JZ1, which is approximately 64 meters, which is nearly 43 ardvarks in size. Jerusalem Post, man. Whoever came up with this idea, awesome idea. to have the sizes of the asteroids be some kind of strange animal sizes.
Starting point is 00:04:09 So you don't want an asteroid around the size of eight giant oarfish to be hitting the Earth. And these are going to miss the Earth. That's what they are telling us. And then I see a story where it says that Earth will likely dodge planet killer asteroids for the next thousand years. So we've got at least a thousand years. before we have to worry about planet killers hitting the Earth. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:04:40 So, I mean, are we positive about that? Well, they claim the likelihood of a significant strike soon is very low. Should we discover a dangerous smaller asteroid in the future, NASA's dart mission last year showed we might push it off course and prevent a strike with enough advance warning. Uh-huh, that'll happen. we've all seen the documentaries, I mean, save the planet.
Starting point is 00:05:06 And although there's no proven way to avoiding the biggest impacts, we can breathe easier knowing we likely have another thousand years to strengthen our defenses. Uh-huh. Okay. All right, whatever you say, until this will be true, until it's not.
Starting point is 00:05:24 As long as we're hanging out in space, I might as well congratulate Jeff Bezos's Blue Origin, who won 3.4, billion dollar NASA contract to build a spacecraft to fly astronauts to and from the moon's surface. Yay, congratulations. Now, this was came after Jeff whined and sued and cried that he didn't get the, the other deal that Elon and SpaceX got. So they finally gave in and said, okay, well, you can do this then, Jeff. So they planned to build a 52-foot tall blue moon lander in partnership with Lockheed Martin and Boeing
Starting point is 00:06:03 with a software firm Draper and robotics firm Astrobotic. NASA said we picked Blue Origin over a rival bid because it was cheaper. There's pretty much, I mean, there's a lot of words here, but it all boils down to, yeah, it was cheaper. So, now Bill Nelson, the NASA administrator, said, hey, we want more competition, we want two landers, and that's better.
Starting point is 00:06:29 It means you have reliability and you have backups. Okay, good. I'm all for that. So they unveiled the blue moon. It's kind of cool looking. And Bezos was standing in front of it. Okay, that's great. Now, the proposal for its lower price,
Starting point is 00:06:46 that's okay, fine, don't worry about it. We did have a little concern over the conflicts and omissions and blue origins, proposed schedule and development deadlines. Wait, what? Yeah, don't worry about it, though. We're fine. Give it to Jeff. We're sick of hearing him wine.
Starting point is 00:07:01 That's pretty much. That's what I read in this. Now, I know they're concerned that it was going to meet the technical requirements. And the price was substantially higher, but too bad. We want, we're going to give it to Jeff because we're sick of hair and him wine. So congratulations to Jeff Bezos and Blue Moon for procuring another 3.4 billion from NASA to do that. because Blue Origin's mission, the Orion capsule and the Blue Moon lander, would each dock with the space station that's orbiting the moon,
Starting point is 00:07:36 and the astronauts would then transfer between the vehicles before they head to the moon. So we'll see if it all works out as planned. Hopefully it will. And I want to be clear about something else as long as we're talking about space. I didn't take them. I don't have them. Okay? It wasn't me.
Starting point is 00:07:54 the cosmic sperm recovered from UFO landing sites is missing. And I didn't have anything to do with it. The investigator, UFO investigator, George Knapp, which I'm sure you may have heard on coast to coast from time to time, he claims that this cosmic sperm recovered from suspected UFO landing sites went missing after he sent the samples to the experts to be analyzed. Huh. He sent them to the experts to be analyzed.
Starting point is 00:08:24 and then they went missing. Weird. So a Russian biologist, Yuri Simakov, found identical tiny reddish orbs at two places where witnesses reported seeing alien craft land, one near Moscow and one in
Starting point is 00:08:42 Kastakistan, another I don't know, a couple thousand miles away, 1700 miles away, something like that. So he handed some samples to George Knapp, the Emmy-winning US TV and radio broadcaster, George Knapp, UFO investigator, and he believed that they were some kind of biological agent that could sprout into being an animal or plant. Uri, who called the sphere's cosmic sperm,
Starting point is 00:09:08 asked George to have them analyze using Western technology. So he took half of the world's known supply of this cosmic sperm back to the U.S. for testing. All right. Experts said the samples were not biological, but had been a lot of the world's known supply, manufactured with high heat instrument and had really interesting chemical composition. But George said the boffins from America's Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program. I love the people at America's Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program. They couldn't figure out who made them, why they were made, what their purpose was, or how it ended up in the dirt at two alleged UFO landings.
Starting point is 00:09:54 ending sites so far apart. He sent them to experts at the Atomic Testing Museum in Las Vegas. Love those people at the Atomic Testing Museum in Las Vegas. But then they went missing. They're gone. It's been four or five years, and no one has returned any of it to me. All of my inquiries. Sorry, we don't know what happened to them, and we don't know where they're at.
Starting point is 00:10:20 So, sorry about it. So we don't know what they are. We don't know what caused them. We don't know where they came from. And right now we don't even know where they're at. So could they be sprouting something somewhere? Could they have already taken over the minds of the people at the testing museum in Las Vegas? Sure.
Starting point is 00:10:42 It's possible. Anything is possible because we just don't know. All right. Let's go to the break room. I need something cool to drink. Yes. So last week we talked about the strippers in California at the Star Garden topless dive bar in North Hollywood.
Starting point is 00:11:08 They were going to vote to go into the union and it was pretty much a foregone conclusion. And yes, it was a foregone conclusion because they unanimously voted to join the union. So congratulations to the Star Garden Topless Dive Bar in California for joining the union, the Actors Equity Association and Entertainment Union
Starting point is 00:11:31 representing over 51,000 workers. Strippers are live entertainers. While some of their elements of their job are unique, they are essentially performance artists and have a lot in common with other equity members who dance for a living. Actors' equity president, Kate Shindle, said we're very happy to have this group of people
Starting point is 00:11:53 in our union. So they kept trying to say also that this was the only topless club ever. This was the first one ever. And not so fast. In 1997, workers at the Lusty Lady in San Francisco
Starting point is 00:12:08 formed the exotic dancers union. But unfortunately, the Lusty Lady had to close its doors in 2013. Very sad. But hey, congratulations to the Star Garden topless
Starting point is 00:12:24 dive bar workers. strippers, dancers, entertainers. Is you where the Heinz company apologized to a German customer, and I'm a Heinz ketchup police officer, so I am part of the company, so sorry about it.
Starting point is 00:12:41 Heinz has apologized to the German customer after a QR code on one of its ketchup bottles linked to a porn site. I will say that if I had a ketchup bottle with a QR code that linked to a porn site, I would thank Heinz, but that would be just me.
Starting point is 00:12:58 So after using a smartphone to scan the code that was meant for a promotional campaign that offered personalized ketchup bottle labels and instead it went to the German porn site. So Heinz sent the guy a personalized ketchup bottle and said, sorry, it was to spread the word with Heinz competition between 2012 and 2014. And, you know, we, one thing led to another.
Starting point is 00:13:22 We forgot to pay the bill. And the deal. domain name we had but uh you know it went away we didn't pay the bill so a porn company bought it that is awesome sorry man wish we could we should have well you know what we're going to work work to rectify future issues revolving around temporary brand extensions online and man we uh we really sorry the pornography site also offered the guy a free submission prescription to its service. You gotta love that. I mean, it makes one want to scan QR codes. I'm not a big fan of that personally, but makes one want to do that, just in hopes that you're
Starting point is 00:14:07 going to, you know, get sent to a porn site. Oh, wait, there's other ways to go to pornography sites? Oh, okay. All right, never mind. I mean, it's kind of a big deal for customers. I mean, for companies to not take care of this. I mean, Sony had an issue. with this very same thing. And they claim that after the FBI's seizure of Kim.com's mega upload, it began serving pornography, drugs, and malware after it expired. Huh. So all these things that the FBI seized,
Starting point is 00:14:44 they just let it sit there and collect dust and let it just go away and other companies, you know, that aren't all legitimate, took over those sites. Huh. weird how something like that happens weird government taking over something and then just letting it sit and go to hell huh really really weird so had a good weekend of shows
Starting point is 00:15:07 watched i had succession i was coming to the end of succession we're down i think next week is the final episode of succession very very sad to see it go uh last night's episode was pretty darn good the funeral episode of succession really good uh fatal attraction coming to an end. I think there's two episodes left, maybe only one. I think there's a fatal attraction on Paramount
Starting point is 00:15:32 Plus. That's been really fun. I've been enjoying watching that. And I watched a movie with Gerard Butler plane. It was awesome. I mean, my wife loves Gerard, so as soon as that movie's available, we'll have to watch Gerard Butler. And it was
Starting point is 00:15:47 a fun ride. It was a fun ride. I enjoyed Gerard and his cohort in crime, I think his name was Michael Coulter. He was fun, and it was fun. It was just, you know, a shoot-em-up, bang-em-up movie, and it was fun. Well worth the time.
Starting point is 00:16:05 If you like Gerard Butler and Mike Coulter and an action-packed movie. And some sad news. Stephen Colbert got some disappointing career news. I know. I know. It's so sad. So now, not only is his late-night show off the air because, of the writer's strike because
Starting point is 00:16:27 Stephen has no idea how to walk on a stage without having someone else write the words for him to say. So he was an executive producer of an animated series called Tuning Out the News and the talk show hell of a week with Charlemagne
Starting point is 00:16:43 the God. But according to a new report, both were just cancelled. Have a nice day. The Paramount Global Network opted to cancel the shows, both of which aired on Comedy Central. So have a
Starting point is 00:16:59 nice day. I just sitting home with nothing to do now. So what a shame that is to hear that Stephen Colbert had his shows cancelled. I mean, have you watched tuning out
Starting point is 00:17:15 the news and the talk show hell of a week with Charlemagne the God? I have not. And I apologize for not seeing them. So they may been great and had I been a fan, I might be pissed. So I'm not though, because I'm just not. I know Charlemagne the God is part of the Breakfast Club, which is a, you know, nationally syndicated radio show. And it's been, I mean, it gets big guess. No question about that. And so, I mean, I'm sure Charlemagne, the God,
Starting point is 00:17:52 will be fine. And I'm sure that there's probably, you know, You know, more work for Charlemagne the God at Comedy Central and or CBS or Paramount or whoever is spending the money there. But what a shame that Stephen Colbert won't be a part of it. Man, what a shame. Because he is, he is so, so, what's the word I'm looking for? No, that's not it.

Who died today? Well, he died on Friday. It was announced late Friday afternoon that Jim Brown. Jim Brown has passed away at the age of 87.
Starting point is 00:19:46 It doesn't say what he died of, so don't look at me like that. His wife said that he passed peacefully in their home in Los Angeles. So don't look at me like that, okay? I didn't say anything about that kind of causing his death. Okay, the man was 87. He was a legend, man, Jim Brown. He was an activist, actor, football star. Just incredible.
Starting point is 00:20:13 His NFL years and college football years were just awesome. He was selected in the first round in the 1957 draft, played nine seasons for the Cleveland Browns, led the league in rushing eight of those years. He rushed for 12,312 yards, and average 5.2 yards per carry over his career. He also was named a pro bowler every year he played. He led the Browns to a league championship three times,
Starting point is 00:20:42 winning the title in 1964 and was named MVP three times. He ran for at least 100 yards in 58 of his 118 regular season games, never missing a game. He rushed for more than 1,000 yards in seven seasons, including 1,527 yards in 112 game season, and 1,863 yards in a 14 game season. I mean, the guy was a legend and just an amazing man. And he also worked to empower the black community during the civil rights movement.
Starting point is 00:21:19 He founded the Amera I Can, a program to help disadvantaged inner city youth and ex-convicts. He also advocated for modern athletes to be more involved in the black community. just an amazing man and it was very sad that we got the news that Jim Brown passed away although like I said it doesn't say what he passed away from
Starting point is 00:21:44 or what caused his death but he was 87 years of age so rest in peace Jim Brown legend at the age of 87 we also had a comedian Andy Smart who died unexpectedly
Starting point is 00:22:01 he was 63, the English comedian Andy Smart. His daughter revealed on Twitter saying that his death was unexpected and no cause of death was available. Did you get that? No cause of death was available. So don't say that. I didn't say that it was that. Probably had nothing to do with that.
Starting point is 00:22:23 You don't know that. She just was letting people know on his Twitter account that he had passed away unexpectedly. Wow. So rest in peace, Andy Smart, who, uh, English comedian. I mean, he was with the comedian, comedy store players, and they were improv comedians, and he, he toured and did a whole bunch of stuff. He was a really talented man.
Starting point is 00:22:45 So, uh, very sad that, uh, he passed away. And like I said, he passed away unexpectedly, according to his daughter. And he was 63 years of age. No cause of death was available. So don't even think that it was, had anything to do with that. Okay, so Andy Smart dead at the age of 63. And we still have horses
Starting point is 00:23:07 dropping over like flies. Well, not really like flies, but we know that a horse died Saturday after being injured following the sixth race at Churchill Downs. Oh, really? Yeah, he was running the race and the race was finished and then,
Starting point is 00:23:24 boom, p, up, fall over and broke his foot and sorry, we're going to have to put him down. I mean, he had a signet. significant injury to his left hind leg. And so they came and looked at him and said, yeah, no, sorry. We're going to have to put him down.
Starting point is 00:23:38 Just another one. Amazing. So I know it was, you know, it was during the, they had the preakness this Saturday. National Treasure won. Bob Baffert's back. His horses, I mean, he,
Starting point is 00:23:52 but this, he had one of his horses. I think more than one have been killed. There's some investigations going on. I mean, just amazing what's these horses. Two horses were euthanized after being injured in races before the Kentucky Derby,
Starting point is 00:24:10 which was a week or two ago. Five others were euthanized after training, racing incidents at the track in the days leading up to the derby. They suspended one trainer, the Safi Joseph Jr., because he had two of his horses
Starting point is 00:24:29 just collapsed on the track and died. What are you doing to your horses, bro? Nothing. I mean, what are you doing? Were they vaccinated horses? I don't know that. It doesn't say.
Starting point is 00:24:39 Don't look at me like that. I'm just asking questions. I probably shouldn't have asked that question, though. So, never mind. It doesn't say that. So I'm sure it had nothing to do with it. And we've got other animals on the loose, too. Up in Maine, they are, there's bison roaming around.
Starting point is 00:24:56 And they're telling people, hey, be careful. Okay? They had to put down a few of them. I mean, they are mean. Bison are not your friendly animal. Six bison are still on the loose in northern Maine. Several had to be put down. I mean, you just don't say, here, little bison,
Starting point is 00:25:16 come on, we could go back home. Who broke out of their pan? Come here. And they don't walk back with you. Weird, I know. So even police, they're large, fast, and unpredictable. So please, don't approach them.
Starting point is 00:25:32 You little bison, come here. Police are urging drivers to exercise caution while driving the rural roads of Fort Fayette Field and caribou area of Maine. Yeah, no kidding. So at least eight bison were spotted on some road near the Caribou Motor Inn. That would be a...
Starting point is 00:25:53 Walk out of the caribou motor in. There's some bison out here, honey. So apparently, this... guy, this farm has these bison and they are, you know, breaking out from time to time. Some have broken out in February, some have broken out in March and now we're
Starting point is 00:26:11 into May and some are breaking out. So we've got to do something. I mean, bison will just walk through a fence. I mean, they're not like a cow. A cow walks up to a little fence and goes and he backs off. A bison says, shoot, I'm not worried about that. I walk right through this thing. And I just walk around with barbed
Starting point is 00:26:29 wire hanging off of them. They will. They're mean. So when you see bison, I don't know, I don't know how you catch them. I guess you rope them or you, I mean, there's a reason why they were just in herds and the Indians would kill them for their meat and their fur and their skin because they weren't a pet. So if you're up there around Fort Fairfield, Maine, I'll just spit that out twice,
Starting point is 00:26:55 Fort Fairfield, Maine, keep your head on a swivel when you're out. out and about, don't let the kids out in the yard. And if they see a bison, make sure they don't say, Here, little bison, come here, baby. Who wants a little carrot? Who's a cute little bison? Don't let that happen, because bison will attack you. That would not be fun.
Starting point is 00:27:20 And it's going to take more than your little handgun to bring down a bison. I'm sorry. If you are out and about, here, little bison here. That one shot right there? That's not stopping a bison. No. That might even make him matter. You better be ready to fire that bad boy multiple times
Starting point is 00:27:40 or go get a bigger rifle because you're going to need it. Once they go down, maybe they can get a hold of the real life. That's how she's being billed as the real life, Dr. Doolittle, the woman who speaks to dead animals. That's her gig. she works as a full-time pet communicator. Danielle MacKinnon claims she can communicate with animals in the afterlife. She now works as a full-time pet communicator with the sole intention of using her gift to help others receive messages.
Starting point is 00:28:15 So maybe we bring her in and talk to the dead bison and let her know what the bison were thinking. That is awesome. So she is confident that her talent, that she has now turned into a full-time career with several clients. So she has several clients that believe that she is communicating with their dead animals. That's so special. She left her previous job after believing her talents were real, calls herself a soul-level animal communicator.
Starting point is 00:28:52 She said she always felt she had a gift of communicating with dead animals, but her family and friends never took her seriously. Wait, what? You know, I could talk to animals. Okay, Daniel, thanks. Is Daniel coming over for dinner? If she has to tell us one more talking to a dead animal story, man, that's it. So she began realizing her own great talents
Starting point is 00:29:16 when her chocolate Labrador got sick. And at the time, I guess her friends said, you should visit a pet psychic. Yeah, that's the first thing you think of when your animal gets sick, you know, I should visit a pet psychic. I think that's my new gig. I think it is. I think I'm going to be your pet psychic.
Starting point is 00:29:34 You can reach out to me, and I will tell you to let you know what your animal. I could be a doctor, do a little too. I'll talk off. I'll get a hold of your dead animal and let you know what your dead animal was feeling. Let me tell you what's your cat's name? Uh-huh. Yeah, your cat really loved you and is still here in the house. And, uh, he all, remember how the cat always used to go over there to that plant?
Starting point is 00:30:01 I mean, that, that, uh, that stool. Yeah. Uh, he still is thinking of you. Okay. Come on. So apparently, uh, they reached out to a psychic and was told their dog was trying to say he had an upset stomach after eating corncubs. That's when she decided to train as a pet communicator. Wait, I can train as a pet communicator? because the psychic told her that the dog was upset and upset stomach after eating corn cobs? Okay, she left her marketing job and began training herself as a pet communicator. The animals were telling me to leave the job. It was scary. I was afraid.
Starting point is 00:30:41 I ended up losing my job and took it as a sign to take the business full-time. Wait, you lost your job because you were still at your job, training yourself to become a pet, a dead pet communicator. I see the doctor she built this building of dr. doolittle I thought dr. doodle talked to live animals I don't remember the whole dr dool little story but I thought dr. dool little communicated with
Starting point is 00:31:05 animals who were alive I guess I guess not I guess I don't know what I'm remembering so she said that she reconnects with them and once that have passed away they love everybody and it can look like a dog loves someone more
Starting point is 00:31:24 the stare they give, it's usually just them looking at you and showing love. It's not based on how many hugs you give them or treat you give them. Oh, it's not, no. Pets tune into their owner's emotions. Many of your clients have asked her if she, if their deceased pets, will be all right with them getting a new one.
Starting point is 00:31:45 Well, of course they will. Your emotions for the first pet is still there. The love is still there. Wow, it's okay. It's okay that Millie, your Chihuahua, passed away, and you still love Milly the Chihuahua a whole bunch. But you want to get a new one? You go ahead because that love and your new Chihuahua will spread to your dead Millie.
Starting point is 00:32:12 I want to be a pet communicator. I mean, that's even better than a pet psychic. That's a good gig. Good for you, Danielle. Good for 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 rink on Uber Eats.

Starting point is 00:33:04 See, App for Details. So congratulations are in order to JZ and Beyonce, who just bought a new Malibu Mansion, setting a record in California for $200 million. Isn't that special? Good for them. Houses of the Hoity Toity, good for them. It is a beautiful.
Starting point is 00:33:28 It is a beautiful place overlooking, overlooking the, ocean and the enclave of Paradise Cove. It's slightly bigger than the trailer I'm living in. It's the record for a concrete compound for $200 million. Congratulations. It's a minimalist masterpiece, a modern concoction of concrete and glass envisioned by art collector William. Bell, who bought the property for $14.5 million way back in 2003.
Starting point is 00:34:08 For the design, he brought in Japanese architect Tadayo Ondo, a Pritzker Prize winner, responsible for impressive concrete structures across Asia, Europe, and North America. His style full display here. L-shaped mansion opens to a vast open spaces marked by concrete hallways, floor-to-ceiling walls of glass. you've got patios leading to the swimming pool, Cabana, a flat, Gracie lawn perched on a cliff overlooking the beach below.
Starting point is 00:34:40 You've got the walkway down to the bleach. It spans nearly 40,000 square feet. It required 7,645 cubic yards of concrete. It's according to Morley Construction Company, which was the project's contractor. Thank you for that. The photos, there's not a lot of photos of the house because it never hit the market.
Starting point is 00:35:02 It was put on the market for $295 million. And it was a pocket listing, which means it's only shown to it. Well, look, the place is $295 million. They're not letting me walk in, okay? They might let you walk in for a little tour, but, you know, we're not wasting the time going through the 40,000 square foot mansion with me. That's interesting.
Starting point is 00:35:27 I like to take a walk around. possibly buy this place. But, sir, you couldn't afford the garage. I know, but I want to look around anyway. No, we're not doing that. Okay? This is only for a select group of qualified buyers. You need like Jay-Z and Beyonce?
Starting point is 00:35:44 Yes, yes, like Jay-Z and Beyonce. I mean, they've got some, I've got some property now. They're doing pretty good, pretty well for themselves. Let's just, let's just say that. They're doing pretty well for themselves. So in 2017, they paid $88 million for a similar looking mansion in Bel Air, composed of six structures surrounded by expansive patios and terraces. That was a nice looking place, too. That's a really good looking place. They've got the place in
Starting point is 00:36:10 New York, right? That place is, holy cow, what is, how much did they pay for that place? I don't really remember. I mean, they've got homes in New York City, Miami Beach, New Orleans, the Hamptons, L.A. I mean, good for them. I think the New Orleans house burned, though. I think that was the house that burned and I don't know that they've rebuilt that. I'm not sure. They've got so much. You know, at some point you've made too much money.
Starting point is 00:36:37 So they broke the record in California, right? Because the one guy bought a place in California for $177 million. And that breaks that record for nothing, for $200 million. But it doesn't set the record, though, because Ken Griffin still holds the title for the biggest real estate purchase in the nation, down $238 million for his Central Park South High Rise in 2019. So, I mean, Ken Griffin spits on $200 million.
Starting point is 00:37:14 I mean, Jay-Z's worth what? A couple billion. Beyonce is probably going to earn, I don't know how much on this latest tour alone. I mean, $200 million for this dump in Bel Air is nothing for them. Okay, before I get out of here today, I wanted to leave you with something that was pretty incredible. It's something that we all know or that we all knew, but this, I guess, proves that it's true. Science, proving what we already knew was true. It's pretty amazing.
Starting point is 00:37:45 I read this by a Twitter account that I follow, Terrible. Terrible is Space host. She talks about stocks, crypto. She's been on Fox business, and she's around, and she talks on her in her bio, it says, Listen with curiosity, speak with honesty, act with integrity. Okay, you got me. Terrible. And this is, you know, I'm there.
Starting point is 00:38:10 I'm there for you, okay? And this story is an incredible story. And she said, or whatever pronoun terrible wants to use, this blew my mind. When pregnant, the cells of the baby migraine. into the mother's bloodstream and then circle back into the baby. It's called fetal, maternal microchimerism.
Starting point is 00:38:35 Microchimerism. Yeah, that's pretty close to what I said. Microchimerism. Yeah, like I said, that's pretty close to what I said. Microchismism. For 41 weeks, the cells circulate and merge backwards and forwards, and after the baby is born,
Starting point is 00:38:51 many of these cells stay in the mother's body. leaving a permanent imprint in the mother's tissues, bones, brain, and skin, and often stay there for decades. Every single child a mother has afterwards will leave a similar imprint on her body. Even if a pregnancy doesn't go full term, or if you have an abortion, these cells still migrate into your bloodstream. Research has shown that if a mother's heart is injured, fetal cells will rush to the sight of the injury and change into different types of cells
Starting point is 00:39:30 that specialize in mending the heart. The baby helps repair the mother while the mother builds the baby. That's pretty cool. This is often why certain illnesses vanish while pregnant. It's incredible how mother's bodies protect the baby at all costs. And the baby protects and rebuilds the mother back so that the baby can develop safely. and survive. Think about crazy cravings for a moment. What was the mother deficient in that the baby
Starting point is 00:40:00 made them crave? Studies have also shown cells from a fetus in a mother's brain 18 years after she gave birth. That's pretty amazing. So if you're a mom, you know how you can intuitively feel your child even when they're not there. Well, now there's scientific proof that moms carry them for years years, even after they have been given birth to them. Pretty, pretty beautiful. That's pretty special. And again, that's something that we all knew. We all realized, but now science is catching up to what we already knew.
Starting point is 00:40:38 And as I was reading through the thread of comments underneath this post, my favorite, I think, came from Edward Hanna, who said, absolutely amazing. My pregnancy healed my mother's liver in 1990. My mother suffered from liver disease for about three years, 87 to 1990. The doctors tried many different treatments until the senior family physician suggested a pregnancy. My mother's liver healed, and my brother was born prematurely seven months, but healthy. He's now a healthy 33-year-old man. Pretty incredible. I wonder if that same doctor would prescribe.
Starting point is 00:41:23 pregnancy today. I would guess and I would hope and I would pray that the answer to that would be yes, but we've seen a lot of physicians change the way they do things in the past few years. Haven't we?
