If you have wondered, what is it like to live on Mars?

Well, now you can maybe try it out. It's a simulation run by NASA. The Space Agency is looking for participants to live on a fake Mars for a full year to help them prepare for human exploration on the planet. Okay. That's kind of cool.

I guess. It's a mission that's going to take place on a 3D printed habitat called the Mars Dune Alpha. This is the second of three missions, which will have four volunteers living in a 1700 square foot Mars simulation. The mission's called Chappea, C-H-A-P-E-A, for. crew health and performance exploration analog. Okay. And it obviously simulates a future Mars habitat with separate areas for living and working.

It includes four living quarters for each volunteer, a workspace, a medical station, lounge areas, and a galley, along with food growing stations. Just like life on actual Mars, there will be limited resources. volunteers in the simulation will go on a simulated spacewalk and will have to work to maintain the habitat, grow crops, and work with robotics. They will experience typical environmental stressors of the planet as well as equipment failures and delays in communications. Now, the ground mission is going to kick off in the spring of next year, 2025, and those who are interested have until April 2nd of this year, 2024, to apply. Now, to qualify, you must be a motivated U.S. citizen or permanent resident between the ages of 30 and 55. You must be a non-smoker. You must have a strong desire for unique, rewarding adventures and interest in contributing to NASA's work to prepare for the first human journey to Mars.

applicants will also have to experience working in STEM. You know, that's science, technology, engineering, and math. Or other sciences and professional experience, or at least two years of doctoral work in these areas, or a test pilot program. Or if you have a thousand hours of piloting experience, and that could qualify you too. And if you have military experience or a bachelor's degree

in a STEM field and four years of professional experience, that could qualify you too. Volunteers will be compensated for the mission. Does not say what that compensation will be. The first Chappia mission is still underway, and NASA is using the experience to learn about health and performance during Mars explorations. Duh, that's what the mission is supposed to do.

So we'll see they claim in this story, you know, a similar mission is to learn about the moon. We're calling that mission Artemis. Yeah, except that's been postponed. They keep blowing that off. So we'll see if that actually ever happens. We're supposed to land on the moon today. This afternoon, as a matter of fact,

for those of you listening live, today is the 22nd of February 2024. So this afternoon, perhaps by the time you're hearing this podcast, we should have at least landed on the moon with the Adaius program, the moon lander. We're looking for water. And so we talked about that on a previous podcast. So that may have happened already.

Good. NASA definitely needs the win. So if you'd like to do it, all you have to do is apply by April 2nd. Good luck. And God bless. Welcome. Welcome to Chewing the Fat. I was looking at the footage of the United Airlines.

flight that was flying from San Francisco to Boston and then diverted to Denver because of wing damage. Now it looks like it was struck by I don't know of multiple

birds or one giant bird maybe they missed the teradactyl flying into the wing as they were taking off because they claim that the passenger said hey I heard a big loud bang when we were taking off.

And then about 40 minutes into the flight, the pilot came and took a look out the window and went back in and said, yeah, we've discovered we have a little bit of damage on one of our front flaps. We're going to go ahead and divert to Denver. We'll put you all on a different plane. No problem.

So they posted. it and they you know obviously congratulations to the pilot and the co-pilot for landing the plane perfectly and no no one was harmed united flight 354 diverted to denver landed with the you know with the damaged wing and all everyone was safe great job thank you one passenger posted pictures and said hey uh heard a noise after reaching altitude much louder than normal. I opened the window to see the wing looking like this, and there's a picture of the damaged wing. How panicked should I be? Do I need to tell a flight crew member? Well, the answer would be, no, you don't need to panic. And yes, you need to tell a flight crew member.

I don't know when the pilot came to look at the plane, but obviously someone was told. Then there was Kevin Clark, who posted a video of the plane as they were in Denver. and he actually narrated the video. Just about to land in Denver. All right. Wing coming apart on the plane. Yeah, the video is just showing the plane. The wing took off in San Francisco.

And we're just about on the ground. Can't wait for this light to be over. No kidding. They've got another plane waiting for us. Continue to Boston. Touchdown any second in the nightmare. Yeah. over

And it hits the ground Yes intact It's got to affect the balance of the plane Some way Are you a pilot now Kevin It's just a little piece of the wing Count down

Yeah we're breaking hard now That's the way plane stop on a runway They break hard Anyway I'm not making fun of Kevin because it's a scary time and he's looking at the wing and wanting to land and have this thing be over with. No question. Just another example.

It's an older plane. We'll see what happens. I know this is a 757 Boeing aircraft, 29 years old, originally went into service in 1994 with Continental Airlines. So I'm sure it's been, you know, taken care of and maintenance's been taken care of for years. But not many of us have vehicles as old as this airplane was. I mean, most of us that have vehicles that were made in the 2000s think that it's old. And this was another, you know, 1994. That seems like a long time ago.

That's because it was, Jeff. Oh, okay. So anyway, congratulations to the pilots who landed this aircraft safely. with all aboard and no issues. This was not a 737-9 max airplane. That's the plane that's come under quite a bit of scrutiny these past few days, past few weeks, as they've had, oh, I don't know, doors flying off, that kind of thing.

Now, Boeing has acted, and they have, well, told the head of Boeing, hey, why don't you take a hike? And I apologize. It is not the head of Boeing. it is the head of Boeing's 737 Max program. So, Ed Clark hit the bricks. And Katie Ringgold will be taking over the 737 Max program. The CEO of Boeing commercial airplane unit, Stan, deal, still has a job,

and he's blaming it on those people. So we'll see if that actually helps. At Desjardin, we speak business. We speak startup funding and comprehensive game plans.

So it didn't say in the story if the Mars simulation was going to bring along goat soap for cleanliness during the simulation. But they should. They should go to QPgoatsoap.com and go ahead and bring it along for the Mars simulation. Look, it's real soap, old school hand poured, made from scratch. And it'll moisturize the way most commercial bars simply be.

dough. And that's by design, by the way. Raw goat milk makes the soap special. It's creamy and soft with a rich sudsy lather. All the essential proteins and nutrients are preserved in goat milk soap and delivered in a finished bar of real soap. It really is some of the best soap on the market today. QPgoatsoap.com. Look, Quinn started making his goat soap at an early age and found out that it's the best soap made. And so he decided to have his own herd of goats, which is why he is the goat king. And they ship out amazing soaps all over the country.

Why not have them shipped to you or to the Mars simulator? I mean, that needs to happen. So Quinn's company also makes amazing laundry soap. They should be doing some laundry in the Mars simulation as well. Leave your clothes clean and smelling fresh. No need to use those harsh detergents on your clothes when you could be using something natural and handmade. Only takes about a tablespoon per load of laundry.

QP.GoteSope.com. It's time to take your soap game to the next level because you shouldn't settle for anything less than the best. QP.goatsoap.com. Use the offer code Jeffie. Get 10% off the total order. QP.goatsope.com. Well, I see Jeff Bezos isn't concerned about the lottery.

there was no winner, by the way, in the Powerball last night. So it rolls over to $376 million jackpot with $177.5 million cash payout on Saturday, the 24th of February 2020. And then the Mega Millions drawing is tomorrow the 23rd of February, 2024 for $525 million jackpot, 247. point one cash payout. Bezos, unloaded 14 million Amazon.com, Inc. shares of stock

worth $2.4 a billion finishing in just nine trading days and so good luck. He disclosed earlier this month to sell up to 50 million shares.

Oh, so I mean, that gets you to like $8.5 billion. dollars. Okay. Yeah, no problem. I guess the wife needs a new, some work done. I don't know. I know he's moving to Florida, right? So he's going to save on some capital gains and there's no income tax in Florida. So it's going to save him hundreds of millions of dollars. Now, I guess he's still worth $191.3 billion, but this might take a little dent out of that. I'm not sure. But I don't know that Jeff is actually playing the lotto. And if he is, stop

it. Leave it for us, Jeff. Okay? The lotto is for us low-life people. Us unwashed masses. Well, we're washed with Quinn's goat soap, but you get what I mean. All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink

desperately. So I guess the FTC will. remain busy. They've been pretty busy lately anyway, but we have Disney striking a deal for Sony to take over the DVD

Blu-ray disc business, which means there, Disney announced the closure of its Disney movie club, a service offering exclusive and discounted Blu-ray and DVD titles. So, you know, that is history, thanks to a deal for Sony to take

over the DVD Blu-ray disc business. Capital One, is buying rival discover financial, uniting two of America's biggest credit card companies in an all-stock tie-up worth more than $35 billion. That will end well. Don't you worry about that. Universal Music Group purchases a $240 million stake in chord music,

who owns music from artists like The Weekend, John Legend, and David Gouda, purchase values of the artist catalogs are at about $1.8.85 billion. So they just need a little stake in that. We just need a little piece of that. Okay, $240 million worth a chord music. BuzzFeed is selling complex to e-commerce platform network NTWRK in a $108.6 million all-cash deal. And they've already said, yeah, we're going to lay off about $60.

percent of the remaining workforce. So, you know, don't worry about it. We're going to do this deal and now we're going to take the 108.6 million dollar cash deal and then we're going to go ahead and lay off a bunch of people. So there's that. And then we have

a coming strike possible. The International Alliance of Theatrical Stage employees, and I am a fan of the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage employees, the I-A-T-S-E. is about to step into the spotlight and probably get, you know, causing a strike to happen.

They represent, according to this, a diverse cadre of over 168,000 below-the-line workers. Man, you talk about unwashed masses. Yeah, we represent the below-the-line workers. Oh, okay. You know, the guy is set designers and technicians who make-up artists and prop handlers. Yeah, the below-the-line workers. So they've got Contract Negotiations

Coming up at the beginning of March So We'll see Could be a big strike there I mean, let's see, what could they possibly want? Could they want higher wages? Yeah Manageable working hours, yeah

Improved health benefits, yeah Fair streaming Project pay Yeah And they have AI and CG Tech concerns. Yeah. So those are all going to be part of the, part of the negotiations. We shall see.

You know, I guess the best case is that they work out a deal and the worst case is everybody strikes and you give us more money and we want to work less. We want better health benefits. And if you stream any of the projects or use AI, we want money from that as well too. So good luck. Good luck to the IATSE. You know, all you below the line workers.

I do not have a TikTok yet. There are members of my family who have a TikTok. I did see this. story about a woman in Atlanta who started a 52-part series on TikTok. This is going to be a miniseries on Netflix or Hulu or Paramount Plus or there's going to be a platform that makes this into a mini-series. All right, she, Risa Tisa started her TikTok playlist, recounting a relationship from start to finish. And it's pretty incredible. And the name of the playlist is who T.F. Did I

Marry? Question mark. Assumation point. Question mark. Who T.F. Did I marry? And it's been trending on TikTok for a while since she started posting on. Okay. And it's pretty incredible.

She identifies on TikTok as at Risa M. Tisa. As Risa Tisa. She's been posting videos about this. And the videos tell in detail. the story of her marriage to a man. She alleges was a narcissist

and a pathological liar. Though she acknowledged she was never formally diagnosed as being either. Now, I will say this. If it's true, it's fascinating, even if it's not true. What a great story. And it's

amazing how she talks about she was conned by this guy who, according to him, was well off financially, having played arena football at one point before moving from California to Atlanta to serve as the VP of a well-known condiment company. And this, two weeks after COVID hit, they decided to quarantine in Tisa's home together. Now, he got a big payout according to her boyfriend, and he would cover all the bills,

and they would start looking to buy a home together. That's where the story begins to get interesting. Now, let Tisa. tell you the very beginning. Hi, and welcome. We all know why you're here. You're here for part of the new series that I am calling, Who the F*** Did I Marry?

I'm going to create this playlist series, and I'm going to tell the story of how I met, dated, married, and divorced, a real pathological liar. She's putting face cream on now. She's just talking to us. This is my introduction slash disclaimer video. First and foremost, I'm going to be truthful, even if it makes me look bad.

I'm going to be honest, but I'm also not going to be disrespectful to anyone that was involved. Okay. I'm not going to use people's real names because I don't have their permission to do so. The name is the change. Protect the innocent. The sister does not want any sort of litigation. I will tell you off the top, I have a sense of humor and I have sarcasm. So things that you see me laughing at, none of this is funny.

But in order to get through it, I have to laugh. I'm a woman. This was traumatic. I'm going to do the best I can to upload as much of the story as I can because I know people get so annoyed with the follow for part four. follow me for part 17. I'm just going to do the best I can to keep uploading the videos each at a time.

Okay. I'm going to go in order from the time we met until the time I got our divorce decree in the mail. Okay. So that is a lot of time to cover. Please give me the grace

to just get it out. It may not be all in one day. It may not be all in two days. But what I can tell you was even if you don't necessarily see a video, I'm probably recording it, and then I will upload it into the playlist titled, Who the F*** Did I Marry?

Okay. So she goes out a little bit longer in that opening video, but awesome. And it will be a mini-series for sure. So, I mean, she has over a million followers now. They have, you know, millions of, tens of millions of likes. and so it's a great idea. Remember, I mean, it's happened before with stories.

Remember the story on TikTok that ended up a series? Or, I mean, Twitter, when it was Twitter, that ended up a series. The Zola, yeah, the movie made in 2021, the 148 part Twitter thread posted by dancer Z Wells back in 2015. Yeah. So, I mean, there's a mini series coming from Risa Tisa. I guarantee it. So I don't even know if Risa Tisa needs to move or has to move. I mean, this all happened in Atlanta. I haven't listened to every episode of who T.F. Did I marry? But if you have to absolutely positively buy or sell a home, sometimes you just have to.

Who died today? Who died today? Ewan McIntosh, E-W-E-N-M-A-N-M-A-N-M-A-N-M-A-N-T-O-S-H. Rest in peace, dead at the age of.

of 50. You know Ewan. Is it Ewan? Is it Ewan? Is it Ewan? It's Ewan. I'm going with Ewan. Ewan, even though it's Ewan. Maybe it's Ewan. I'm not sure. I don't remember ever talking about the guy before, but he played Big Keith in the UK version of the office. So he had a lot of fans. So I apologize if I'm pronouncing his name wrong. Okay. So Mr. McIntosh, dead at the age of 50. you know him for playing Big Keith and the UK version of the office. He is dead. Now, he died in Darlington, England, at a residential care facility. The cause of death was not immediately clear.

Hey, so it couldn't have been that. And he's only been sick for a couple of years. So it couldn't have been that. Otherwise, they would have said something. All right? So just stop thinking what you're thinking about, okay? he died with his family and close friends at the Willow Green Care Home, and there's going to be a private cremation for family and close friends,

and a celebratory memorial later in the year. So there's that. I guess he'd been in declining health for two years. Wasn't clear what the illness was he was facing. So it could have been that. Otherwise, they would have said it, right? Right. So rest in peace.

Ewan Ewan EWE Mackintosh dead at the age of 50. So it's about time that this happened and I'm surprised that the dog is actually still alive, to be honest with you. President Biden has been reported that he's given first dog commander to relatives. We have revelations now of more brutal attacks on secret service employees. including one that took, they had to suspend tours because there was blood all over the floor of the east wing. Because another agent suffered a severe, deep open wound. I've got to tell you, the Secret Service agents, I know they've taken a hit, I know,

I get the whole thing, but they have got to be commended for having the wherewithal not to shoot this dog. If Commander is running at me down a hallway in the east wing, and then I'm, you know, I'm saying, I can't shoot the dog. It's the President's dog. I can't shoot the dog. It's the President's dog.

And he jumps up and starts ripping into my arm. Commander is going down. We may or may not have heard about shots fired at the White House because Commander is definitely going down. Now, remember they lied about it before. Big surprise. the lies coming out of this administration that the Secret Service agent

lied about an attack by his prior dog major so this one was commander so now they're shipping it off to a relative I mean he got them both didn't he get them both at a pound or you know a dog adoption service so anyway

I don't know they're shipping it off we find out now that he's bitten and attack more Secret Service agents. The one Secret Service agent had six stitches and on his left hand and forearm. I mean, that's a wound. That's a wound.

It's stitches and you're getting taped up. No, thank you. No, thank you. Then there was the video we had of Commander who was attacking the guy out in the garden. Right? We saw that video. There's no way that dog should have been in the White House, or at least around people.

I know. And I guess, I guess, you know, he liked him. There are now 24 documented incidences of dog attacks, and that's documented, of the Secret Service during Biden's tenure in office. In addition to reports of attacks on White House staffers. So that's more than 24 attacks. I mean, that's just the Secret Service agents that they're documenting. The White House staffs, yeah, we don't care about them. Ah, they may or may not have been attacked.

Who knows if they're telling the truth or not? I mean, that's why we shipped off Major, the first dog, right? They shipped him off, I guess, to friends in Delaware. The neighbors, they were supposed to have more training or whatever, but Commander was fine. Commander wasn't fine at all. He's been attacking people all along. I mean, weekly. There's no way that dog, Secret Service.

I commend you for not putting that dog down because I would have. I see that dog running down one of the hallways at me in the east wing. And that doesn't stop him, then I'm going to go ahead and put him down. I don't want to, but I'm going to have to. Maybe if they started warning the dog, like you see the dog looking like he's going to start attacking and you just, he gets trained. No, I don't want to get shot. Of course, though, the president and the first lady care deeply about the safety of those who work at the White House and those who protect them every day.

Do they, do they, it's been going on now for how long? Oh, I know, since they've taken office and they don't care, they haven't cared. But despite additional dog training and leashing and working with veterinarians and consulting with animal behaviorists, The White House environment simply proved too much for Commander. Gosh, darn it. And since the fall, wow, so they left, since the fall, we're just finding out about this now. He has lived with other family members.

We shipped him off with other family members. He might be dead. He might be buried out back. They just don't want to tell us. Yeah, we put him down. And they don't want PETA. They don't want the dog people after them. so they don't want the adoption agencies after him.

They may have actually put him down. And he's buried in the garden. And they just, yeah, don't tell anybody, don't say anything. And if somebody asks why, where the dog is, we say, hey, he's with family. And someone finally has asked, hey, what happened to the dog? Yeah, he's with family members. Really? Yes, he's with family members.

So he's buried out back in the garden. Oh, and speaking of government. and animals, I see where it's been reported now that China has planning on sending a new pair of pandas to the San Diego Zoo by the end of the summer. So the U.S. and China apparently have engaged in panda diplomacy since the 70s. And then China put an end to it.

So we want our pandas back and we need to ship them back now. Send back them. And we did. So now I guess this, is in this story funny ha ha this could be a bamboo branch

between the two countries get it? Yeah so we'll see if China actually is sending back real panda bears or are they robot panda bears

here to spy we may never know 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. I forgot to congratulate the NBA, the National Basketball Association. They set a record on Sunday nights. This past Sunday night's NBA All-Star game, I'm sure you watched it. It broke the record for the most points scored in the league's 73-year history. The total points scored 397 points. East beat the West 211 to 186.

That was up from the previous record of 374 total points scored, but that only happened way back in 2017. So it's been, what, six, seven years for them to break the record that you thought you were going to... In 2017, you thought the 374 was going to stand forever? No, not until this year when East Beats West 211 to 186. So congratulations to the NBA All-Stars for breaking and now having the record for the most points scored in a game in the NBA's 73-year history. Now, I thought we were done with monkey pox, but apparently not. People are still getting it.

It's still out there. And there was a documented case of monkey pox of a school staffer in Philadelphia, in the Philadelphia Public Schools. Well, sure, the exposure happened at Richmond Elementary School. Sure, the teacher has a confirmed case of the virus. but, well, monkey, I called it monkeypox, and I apologize. Mpox is spread through skin to skin contact with an infected person who has sores or scabs. And symptoms are, you know, fever, headache, muscle aches, rash that can range from mild to painful.

They appear a week or two weeks after exposure, though not sexually transmitted, but it can't be. Mpox is most often spread through sexual contact Yeah, because it can be I know, look, I know you can get it without sexual contact, which is an issue especially to kids in elementary school But the kids and the staff at the school are fine And they don't even worry about it

So why don't you just shut up and quit your complaining, okay? The Department of Public Health was notified And there was a potential of low-level exposure As far as we know now, this teacher or this employee at the school was not having sex with any of the students at the school, we may find out later that's actually happening, but we don't know that now. So everything is fine. So if your kids go to Richmond Elementary School in Philadelphia, and you are not aware of the M-Pox-M-Pox-employee-teacher,

at the school, you are now. And if your kids started, you know, having a fever, headache, muscle aches, and a rash, I would double-check that. Okay, it might not just be an everyday sickness. But that's just me. That's just me. Because the health department says it's fine.

So why don't you just quit your whining? We weren't whining. We didn't even know, Jeff. I know, but now you do. so you can you can whine the FDA speaking of health though i see where the FDA is given a green light to medication for managing severe food allergies such as those with milk eggs and nuts okay well that's great then right now the medication meant for regular intake every few weeks aims to lower the risk of reactions gradually wait so it's not an actual cure

No, we're aiming to lower the risk of reactions gradually to allergies to those of milk, eggs, and nuts. Okay. Geez, that sounds great. How much is it going to cost? Well, look, it's priced $2,900 a month for children and $5,000 a month for adults. That's it, though. Now, it says in the story, with potential insurance coverage to mitigate costs. so they don't even know if insurance is going to cover it.

There's a potential there for insurance to mitigate the cost. But good luck. Now, again, they also say, look, it's not going to eliminate food allergies. Or it's not going to allow patients to consume food allergens freely. Well, then what the hell are you taking it for? Well, the repeated use will help reduce the health impact if accidental exposure occurs. Oh, so I can spend, as an adult, $5,000 a month to take this medication that's going to lower the risk of reactions gradually. And if I, by accident, I don't know, have an egg, it will reduce the health impact of my accidental exposure to eggs.

That sounds great. All right, I've got the joke of the day. Email to me from Jay. Jay emailed Chewing the Fat at theblaze.com with the joke of the day. Here we go. This is from Jay, not me. I got nothing to do with this joke, okay?

His name was Bubba. He was from Mississippi, and he needed a loan. So he walked into a bank in New York City and asked for the loan officer, told the loan officer that he was going to Paris for an international redneck festival for two weeks, and needed to borrow $5,000. and that he was not a depositor of the bank. The bank officer told him that the bank would need some form of security for the loan. So the redneck handed over the keys to his new Ferrari.

The car was parked on the street in front of the bank. The redneck produced the title and everything checked out. The loan officer agreed to hold the car as collateral for the loan and apologized for having to charge 12% interest. Later, the bank's president and its officers enjoyed a good laugh at the redneck from the south for using a $250,000 Ferrari as collared. lateral for a $5,000 loan. An employee of the bank then drove the Ferrari

into the bank's private underground garage and parked it. Two weeks later, the redneck return, repaid the $5,000 and the interest of $23.7. The loan officer said, sir, we're very happy to have had your business, and this transaction has worked out very nicely,

but we're still a little puzzled here at the bank. While you were away, we checked you out on Dun & Bradstreet and found you our distinguished alumni of Old Miss University, highly sophisticated investor and a multi-millionaire with real estate and financial interests all over the world. Your investments include a large number of wind turbines around Sweetwater, Texas. What puzzles us is why would you bother to borrow $5,000? And the redneck replied, where else in New York City can I park my car for two weeks for only $23.7 and expected to be there when I return.

I guess the moral of the story is to keep an eye on those Southern boys just because they talk funny doesn't mean that they're stupid.
