Blaze Radio Network And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. I'm a proud Christian porn star. God put me on earth to enjoy sexual pleasure. Oh, not me.

Not me. I'm talking about a Christian only fan star. Says she feels more connected to her faith since she kick-started her career seven years ago. And now believes God put her on earth to help live. other women from their sexual shame. Courtney Tilla, 35, made the declaration during an interview saying God's message has been abundantly clear. I'm here to be a porn star. This is my way of serving.

Sure, I used to be a teacher. And before I left teaching, I felt super disconnected from myself and also God. But you know what? Now I quit the classroom and I began my only fan's account. with the support of my husband. And now I'm not ashamed to be a porn star, and only fans porn star. Now she's a proud Christian porn star

and knowing that God put her on earth to enjoy sexual pleasure. Amen. Welcome. Welcome to chewing the fat. So over 2,100,000. pounds of raw ground beef are now being recalled because it may be contaminated with extraneous materials.

Specifically, pieces of white neoprene. Oh, just cook it up. It's a burger. Move on. The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service, the FSIS, announced the recall. As of now, only one product has been recalled the 10.7 ounce packages of ground beef patties labeled 100% grass-fed and finished beef burger patties,

85% lean, 15% fat. The recall was initiated after several customers reported finding a white rubber-like material in the ground beef upon cooking. It is from Weinstein wholesale meats incorporated. Okay, it's an Illinois-based wholesale meat manufacturer, but it was shipped and distributed through an online distributor, so the product was sold to customers. nationwide. Patti's were produced on March 14th, 2023.

Used by date 411.23. Product may be still be in refrigerators and freezers, so that's why we want to get this recall out there out of an abundance of caution. And if you have the product, then you don't eat it, okay? If you have the product, don't eat it. Dispose of it. Or here's an idea. Return it to get your money back.

But if you feel like, ah, I don't care what I paid for it. I'm just going to throw it away. Go ahead. It's fine. It's all up to you. So far, as of this recording, there have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. So whoever is cooking up the old burgers, they either threw it away or they said, hey, it's only little pieces of white neoprene. I'm fine.

That tastes fine. with the Heinz ketchup. I don't know. I don't know. But if you have that in your freezer or refrigerator, throw it away or return it at place of purchase. Okay, so today, if you're listening live, is the 26th of April, 2023. It is an anniversary of the official organization of the Oddfellow Lodges. Now, I don't know anyone that I know of that's a part of the independent order of odd fellows. It was organized on April 26th, 1819 in Baltimore, Maryland,

by Thomas Wadley and four other members of the fraternity from England. Now, this kind of group has been going on for years, years and years and years. You know, I mean, even way before 1819. But since 1819, the Independent Order of Odd Fellows had spread throughout the world where it currently have about 10,000 lodges located in Australia, Austria, Belgium, Belize, Canada, Chile, Cuba, Czech Republic, Denmark, Dominican Republic, Estonia, Finland, Finland, Finland, Germany, Iceland, Netherlands, New Zealand, Nigeria, Norway, Poland, Philippines, Puerto Rico, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom, United States, Euro. and Venezuela. I was like Venezuelan. How's that? How's that common?

Anyway, and since 2001, the I-O-O-O-F has been fully co-ed, and all genders can join Odd Fellows Lodges. Now, I kind of feel like I want to become an odd fellow. I don't know why. I just feel like, why am I not an odd fellow? Have we talked about this before? Now that I'm talking about becoming an odd fellow, I feel like I've talked about this before. If you are an odd fellow, email me chewing the fat at the blaze.com.

Chewing the fat at the blaze.com. Or you can reach out on social media at Jeffrey JFR on Twitter, Jeff Fisher Radio on Facebook and Instagram. But I mean, when you look at their mission to improve and elevate the character of mankind by promoting the principles of friendship, love, truth, faith, hope, charity, and universal justice, to help make the world a better place to live by aiding each other, the community, the less fortunate, the youth, the elderly, the environment, and the community in every way possible, to promote goodwill and harmony amongst peoples and nations through the principles of universal fraternity, holding the belief that all men and women, regardless of race, nationality, religion, social status, gender, rank, and station are brothers and sister. Why am I not an odd fellow? It says join us. So it says download brochure.

All right, well, let's click on the old Odd Fellow brochure, shall we? The sovereign Grand Lodge of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. There's a telephone number. I feel like I should call the Odd Fellows, and maybe we do an interview with the Odd Fellows. This address is in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Huh.

What about the Baltimore, Maryland? I thought that's where it all got started, right? So I want to become an odd fellow. How much does it cost? It's going to cost me a couple of bucks to get into becoming an odd fellow. Is that what I have to do? Do I have to fundraise for the odd fellows? Okay, so anyway, reach out.

They have the old Odd Fellows website. So, you know, we can just check that out. It's odd dash fellows. And if you are an odd fellow or know someone who is, have them get a hold of me because I want to talk to someone about what it is to be an odd fellow. So you remember Elizabeth Holmes. She was reportedly worth, I don't know, $9 billion in 2014 as she was going to revolutionize blood testing. she formed a partnership with Walgreens to offer in-store blood collection centers. And then in 2015, there was an investigation by a Wall Street Journal that said,

you know, the system that Elizabeth Holmes, Theranos, the systems, really provided false reports and revealed the company had been using commercially available machines from other companies for most of his testing. And it really isn't what it cracked. up to be. And so she was banned from operating a blood testing service for a couple of years. Then lawsuits started coming in. And the whole thing collapsed in scandal and everything shut down in 2018. Then a federal grand jury in San Jose indicted Holmes and company president, Sunny Belwani, her former boyfriend on counts of wire fraud, a conspiracy. And she was convicted on four of

the 11 counts in January 2022. District Judge Edward DeVila sentenced her to 135 months in prison but said, hey, you know, you don't have to, you don't have to show up for 15 months. You go, you go take care of yourself and get yourself squared away and you make sure that you at least, you know, show up for prison in 15 months, would you? Well, as I said today is the 26th. Tomorrow's the 27th. That's the last day that she's supposed to report to prison. So she's been seen wandering around San Diego.

her boyfriend or fiancé that she's had a couple of kids with she just had a baby too a few months ago she's it's going to be tough for her to traips off to prison but she's been shown wandering around san diego with the fiancee the fiancee is the hotel air his family's got i don't know three or four or five hoity tooty hotels in san diego and they're worth millions so he's got you know he's not worried about taking care of it. of the kids. But what's the over and under on her actually spending 11 years in prison? I find that very, very difficult to believe. You know, she's just had kids, so it's going to be tough no matter how long it is. But so she goes to, when she was during the trial, she was

living at the 74 acre, $135 million compound of the Green Gables Estates. That was tough. That was tough to go to and hang out in. But now, once she goes to prison, I guess hubby's moving into some $3 million town home for he and the kids. But I just wonder, Elizabeth Holmes, we need to have some kind of bet on how long she actually spends in prison.

It's supposed to be there for 11 years. So does she serve six of the 11 years? Is she out by 2030? That's what I'll say. Elizabeth Holmes out of prison by 2030. No way. No way she goes to prison for longer than that. And she may be even out before that.

Something may happen in a couple of years and she's back out again. But I find it very difficult to believe that she's going to be due the full term. And I mean five years to six years is enough already, don't you think? Forget that wire fraud. Forget that whole scamming people thing. Don't worry about all that. I'm just talking about the time she's going to spend in prison. She's out by 2030.

That's my prediction right now here on chewing the fat. Elizabeth is out of prison by 2030. All right. Let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink desperately. Before we go to the break room, though, does she turn herself in? Maybe she doesn't. Maybe she doesn't turn herself in.

They made a big deal about her out walking with the kids and kept looking at her phone. Like maybe she's getting, you know, her attorneys are trying to work some deal where she doesn't have to report to prison by tomorrow. That's what the judge said, though. So maybe she doesn't report or report to prison. So let's say once she reports to prison, I mean, she's out by 2030, easy. All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink desperately. Congratulations to Mattel. Yes, Mattel. They have launched the first ever Barbie doll with Down syndrome.

The doll is part of the company's 2023 fashionistas lineup, although the fashionita dolls can be purchased for 1099 at major retailers. Doesn't sound like a bad price. Mattel Inc. launched its first ever Barbie doll with Down syndrome to allow even more children to see themselves in the the iconic toy. The doll with Down syndrome is part of a new and more diverse, 2023 Barber Barbie fashionista line. Now, you can write your own jokes. Not me. I would think of writing jokes about Barbie Dolls with Down syndrome

because the Dowell Downs' a puff sleeve dress decorated with blue and yellow butterfly pattern, symbols and colors linked to Down syndrome awareness, and wears a pink pendant necklace with three arrows representing the three copies of the 21st chromosome. The doll also wears pink sneakers and ankle foot orthotics since some children with the condition use orthotics to support their feet and ankles. So there you go. Congratulations to Mattel and Barbie for launching their first ever Down syndrome doll. It's wonderful. I'm not writing any jokes

Those are for you I'm not talking about the Barbie with the patch I'm not talking about when are we going to have the conjoined twins Barbies No no that would be wrong Okay Just enjoy Just enjoy the Down syndrome Barbie Back off me

Oh and I'd like to thank Stephen Spielberg For finally coming on board Thanks Steve I regret editing guns out of E.T. Do you, Steve? Do you? Yes, no film should be revised for today's standards. That was a mistake.

No kidding, Mr. Spielberg. No kidding. So he participated in a master class at the Time 100 summit and announced he regrets editing guns out of E.T. The film's 1982 theatrical cut includes a scene of officers chasing young kids with firearms, and he edited the guns out of the 20th anniversary release of the film and replaced the firearms with walkie-talkies. That was a mistake.

I never should have done that. E.T. is a product of its era. No film should be revised based on the lenses we are now, either voluntarily or being forced to peer through. No kidding! that's a fact welcome aboard steve so it was a film that i was sensitive to the fact that the federal agents were approaching kids with firearms exposed and i thought i would change the guns into walkie-talkies the years went by and i changed my own views i should have never messed with the archives of my own work

duh nobody should ever attempt to take the chocolate out of willie wonka thanks stephen appreciate it since now the damage is already done and we're already changing books and movies and you were the one that we're okay with it in the beginning. I know appreciate you saying you shouldn't have

and that you're along for the ride now. Thank you. Thank you. But Stephen added look for me it's sacrosanck. It's our history. It's our cultural heritage. I do not believe

in censorship in that way. Well, isn't that special? We appreciate you finally coming along for the ride, Mr. Steven Spielberg. So the old saying, build it and they will come. What about charge more? Will people still come if you continue to charge more? Well, looks like so far the answer to that is yes. Chipotle increased prices and to store traffic

also increased, according to the company. Pepsi products were 16% price year last quarter, but it sold only 2% less of them. So that's a 10.2 sales bomb. Consumer Giants, Kimberly Clark, Nestle's, Procter Gamble, raked in more revenue last quarter after they jacked up prices by about 10%. Higher sticker prices helped GM

at almost $1,800 to its per car price. in North America and grow its revenue. You know, I know after, you know, we're getting hammered by inflation, consumers like me are resist, and you are starting to resist paying the prices at the grocery stores. And Pepsi, CFO said that customers have already been opting for cheaper products, you think? And the CEO of McDonald's told Financial Times that customers were starting to push back on the company who's beefier price tags.

Yeah, no kidding. That should have happened a long time ago. McDonald's has just been gradually turning up the heat. And at some point, you've got to say, whoa, whoa, whoa. You know what? I don't need McDonald's. That quick drive-through to McDonald's to get a burger and fries for $85. It doesn't quite help anymore.

I did see where Tesla has now dropped its prices, is it costs less than the average vehicle sold in the U.S. Now, and it doesn't say here, but I'm guessing that charges less than the average vehicle, new vehicle sold in the U.S. So, I mean, if you're out buying new cars, a lot of new cars being sold in my neck of the woods, I'm not buying them, but I see a lot of them on the road, that's for sure.

I don't know if they're being bought, if they're being leased, or what's happening, but for sure they're on. the road out there. And I see where GM, speaking of cars, GM is killing off its Chevy Volt, not Volt, Chevy Bolt, EV, the first electric vehicle it produced for the masses.

So no more Chevy Bolt EV. I know, I know, I know. But the other cars are, you know, making them all kinds of profits. So, eh, don't worry about it. Who needs that Chevy Bolt? And I see where Alphabet and Microsoft said that their earnings were both, I don't know, solid footing, despite investors saying, hey, your growth is slowing down, starting to trickle down a little bit, what's going on. But Alphabet, Google, advertising revenue grew again after a quarter in the red, and Microsoft's all-important cloud division posted better than expected sales.

So both companies discussed how AI could impact their businesses, but they deferred in their predictions. Microsoft characterized AI as much more disruptive force than Google did. We'll see. We've got to talk a little bit about where we're headed with AI, that's for sure. But we also have companies like Disney laying off 4,000 more employees in the latest round of job cuts. 7,000 will be let go this year. So companies are starting to feel the heat a little bit and they're trying to restructure.

So we'll see. We shall see. Good luck. Good luck. With Amex Platinum, $400 in annual credits for travel and dining means you not only satisfy your travel bug, but your taste buds too. That's the powerful backing of Amex. Conditions apply. So what is happening in Spain? Well, Spain appears to be warming up to the idea of open relationships. Uh, you think?

Almost half of Spaniards say it's okay to have multiple sexual partners at the same time. According to a survey by Spain's Centro de Investigation of Sociologists, more than 47% of respondents said they agree or strongly agree that a person, person can have more than one active sexual relationship at once. Oh, interesting. Now, the poll also found a growing trend towards open relationships with more than 41% of Spaniards saying that partners can have sex with other people outside of their relationship without getting romantically involved in them.

So, but I will say this, almost 70% of respondents in Spain agree that true love can conquer all. And another 80% said that if someone is truly in love with their partner, they will be faithful forever. Will they? The vast majority of Spanish people don't mind if their partner is less attractive, less educated, or earns less money than them. Okay. I don't know that I believe that. The CIS is a government agency that gauges public opinion on sociological issues.

The survey targeted almost 2,500 citizens and was the agency's third look into Spain to view on social relationships in a post-pandemic world. In addition to its questions on romantic relationships, the CIS quizzed people on their overall satisfaction with their family lives. Just over 41% rated their satisfaction a 10 out of 10 compared to 31% complete satisfaction. with their friendships and 37% with their partner, all of which are slightly down from the previous survey. So everything is going down except the open relationships, and I can have multiple partners throughout my relationships, you know, without getting attached.

So then we have the report from the UN. It's a UN-backed report, suggesting normalizing pedophilia, decriminalism, de-courtie, I can't even say the word decriminalizing all sexual activity. Okay. Well, then they kind of updated a little bit saying, you know, subsequent publication of this story, the UN clarified that bisexual content involving those below the age of consent,

it meant to include only incidents in which both parties fit the criteria. Oh, okay. So you got a big, big push. pushback on this report and decided, no, no, no, no, no. We don't mean everybody. We want everyone inside the window. That's all we, you know, we suggested sure that global leaders normalized pedophilia by allowing children to legally decide on engaging in sexual activities with adults.

Sure, that's what the report said. But not now. Not now. We're changing all that, okay? Because everybody went crazy on us. So, just take it easy, okay? Sexual content involving persons below the domestically prescribed minimum age of consent to sex may be consensual, if not in the law. But no, we didn't mean that.

No, we didn't mean that we're changing that because you guys got mad at us for that. So just stop worrying about it, okay? We meant it, but we didn't mean it. Oh, and we have a new COVID variant to worry about it. It's called Arcturus, the new COVID variant, and it has a new system. The World Health Organization has elevated the fast-growing Amacron sub-l lineage, XBB.1.16, as a new variant of interest. The XB.B.D.1.16 is a descendant of the Recombatant XB, which is a mashup of two,

BA.2 sub-linages. On social media, the variant has been nicknamed Arcturists, like the brightest star in the northern celestial hemisphere. It was identified in India earlier this year and has spread to 29 other countries, including the U.S.,

and it's still part of the Amacron lineage. So these are particular variants we've been seeing for the last year. It does have a mutation that makes it a little bit more transmissible and a little bit more infectious. and we're seeing an uptick in children. She added that the good news is that it's not causing more severe disease.

So it is more like, I don't know, the flu. But symptoms from Arcturus differ from previous sub-variants. We're seeing things like sore throat, cough, fever, and there's a new symptom, conjunctivitis. Or as we know it, pink eye. So if you or someone you love

has pink eye, you could have the Amacron Arcturus XBB.1.1.6. So be careful out there. It's still out there. I haven't looked at, man, we haven't looked at the COVID numbers in a long time. Do they still exist? Now let's take a look.

Yes, they're still putting them out. Amazing. So there's been 686,000, 676,9702 coronavirus cases, according to the Worldometers, 6,860,939 death, which leaves 659,247,000 who have recovered. But let's look at the country's data that we were. big on in the beginning. The USA is still number one, with 106,585,485,478 total cases.

And we've had, well, over a million deaths. That's so sad. India is number two. France, Germany, Brazil. They're all, I mean, 40, 39, 38, 37, 33, 33, 31 million. So the U.S. is by far the number. one country with total cases. Where is China?

Where is China? There's Mexico at 19. Columbia at 22nd. Portugal at 25th. Ukraine at 26 with over 5 million cases. Let's get down here. Canada's got 4 million cases.

Where's China? Hold on. We'll get to China. There's South Africa at 38th with 4,076,463. wait a second let's keep going where's china there's a hungry at two million two hundred and one thousand three hundred fifty five cases wow that's a lot hungry these are small countries um Slovakia's got almost two million wow that's these are small countries so there's Pakistan where's china down this list what's happening with our countries uh in uh there's Nepal Nepal has over a million wow okay but where's china that's what I want to know there's uh there's palest

Palestine, is the Palestinian actually a country? Oh yeah, there it is, 85th, 621,000. At 85th, there's Venezuela, Egypt, Libya, guitar. There's China. Ninety-second. Ninety-second in the top 100 of coronavirus cases. They claim they have 5003,302 cases with only 5,000 to 272 deaths. I find that still very, very hard to believe, but that's just me. And we also have, so that tied into the new variant out there, the sub-variant, Arcturus, the XB.

dot 1.16. Then we have a new dog flu out there that we need to be aware of, so be careful if you have dogs. And the reason that dog flu, growing into a virus and creeping toward infecting humans. Oh, no. Oh, no.

So don't let the dog lick your face or anything about you. So the contagious respiratory disease first inspected dogs around 2006 and its mutated form of a particular type of bird flu. Oh, no. So the dogs have now got bird flu. So it's dog flu. That's a particular part of that. Okay.

Since then, continuing to do a flu. evolve, researchers are concerned that it is now better at recognizing human cells. It means the virus could be one step closer to getting into people. Study from a team in China at the Agricultural University in Beijing. Love them. Looked at swabs for more than 4,000 dogs. The findings revealed that the virus is now showing signs of being able to spot human cell receptors, and spread in human cells.

Researchers said the dogs may serve as an intermediate for bird flu to adapt into something that could infect people. Interesting. So be careful out there. We've got dogs getting bird flu, which could come to the humans. We also know that most recent viruses are most adapted to mammals, and that was the original virus that made the least. from an avian to a mammal so be careful out there we don't want the old canine flu strains of H3 and 2 we don't want dog food do we don't want bird flu which is now dog flu which will turn into human flu so each dog fell mildly on well fever sneezing coughing

and so this is a longer-term pandemic potential from the H3N2 and now it's going to start coming in to humans or at least they think it will. So just be on the lookout for dog flu.

There was a report that said an asteroid, the size of 48 eggplants, was set to pass the Earth yesterday. which was the 25th of April, 2023. Now, I will say that this is from the Jerusalem Post.

We talked a little bit about this on Pat Unleashed because the Jerusalem Post, someone at the Jerusalem Post, loves comparing asteroid sizes to stuff. It started with the camels. And so now this asteroid that passed by Earth yesterday was described as the size of 48 eggplants. And we talked about that in the Jerusalem Post. Then as you read out in that story at the very bottom,

it talks about four other asteroids that are going to pass by Earth at different times. And it talks about asteroid 2023 HL2 with an estimated diameter of 47 meters or just under 31 King's salmon lined up in a row. Asteroid 2023 HW2 with an estimated diameter of 48 meters or around 26 average height Dutchmen lined up from head to toe.

Asteroid 2023 G-O-1, estimated diameter of 31 meters, or around 124 and a half Louis Vuitton speedy 25 handbags. And asteroid 23 HH3 with an estimated diameter of 23 meters or around 50 large cardboard boxes stacked by length. So someone at the Jerusalem Post is just having a little bit of fun with the old asteroids and the size of them. Speaking of space, I see where a Japanese company spacecraft apparently crashed while attempting to land on the moon, losing contact moments before touchdown and sending flight controllers scrambling to figure out what happened. More than six hours after communications ceased, the Tokyo Company, Ispace, finally confirmed.

that everyone had suspected, what everyone had suspected, high probability that the lander had slammed into the moon. Disappointing setback for iSpace, which after a four and a half month mission had been on the verge of doing what only three countries have done successfully land a spacecraft on the moon. Four to have months? Took them four to half months to fly to the moon? What were they?

Did they take the scenic route? Holy cow. Even after contact was lost as the lander descended, the final 33 feet. Flight controllers peered at their screens in Tokyo as minutes went by with only silence from the moon. Then they were sad. Officially finally came out that, yeah, it's a high probability that the lander crashed into the moon. So, all right, we're going to try again.

A second moon shot is already in the works for next year. Okay, just a reminder, Japan, the moon is ours. Okay, and it belongs to the United States of America. Sure, other countries have landed there. Sure, you can go ahead and try to get there with iSpace or whatever company you want to do. China can get up there and try to land on the moon. So can India. So can the United Kingdom.

So can Mexico. So can Canada. I don't care what country. So can Uganda, for all I care. But the moon belongs to us. We were there first. It's our moon. very simple. In fact, we need to upgrade our space living too, because I see where General Chance

Saltsman of the U.S. Space Force describes what he says is a new era in space activity. The threats that we face to our on-orbit capabilities from our strategic competitors have grown substantially. Well, no kidding. This is a big key time as we commercial. space and it becomes quite a backdrop and quite a threat on the United States. Now, General Chasman took the stage for his keynote at the Space Symposium in Colorado Springs, which I wasn't invited to, and I'm a little hurt, but I wasn't invited to the Space Symposium in Colorado Springs. But, okay. So he said the threats that we face in our on-orbit capabilities from our strategic competitors have grown substantially.

The U.S. Space Force second ever chief. Oh, yeah, I don't care. He's the second ever chief of space operations. The congestion we're seeing in space with tracked objects and the number of satellite payloads and just the launches themselves had grown at an exponential rate. I want to make sure that we are thinking about our processes and procedures differently. He said manifest space.

He was on a podcast. Manifest Space. his first broadcast interview since becoming the service's highest ranking military official last November I'm going to have to reach out to him he can go on manifest space you can't come on chewing the fat

okay I mean we need to worry about it and we need to talk about we need to talk about space trash and we need to come up with a way to get rid of some of the dead debris

that's flying around the earth that has to happen I know that we're concerned about military and attack attacks on our satellites, attacked on our vehicles when we're launching more into space, and we're going to have attacks on our space motels because China's building their own space home. And we're hitching rides up to ours with Russia.

And we just need to think about space different. He's right. He's very right. And we need to make that happen because times are changing. And they've already changed. We just need to be on top of it. That's for sure. I mean, we're finding out more and more about space every day.

We've been traveling through outer space farther than we've ever been before. We're seeing how black holes are so much different than what we had anticipated. In fact, there was a new report talking about how they're trying to compare black holes with messy babies and toddlers when they're eating. You know, they imagine the cosmic scale and scientists say you'll have some indication as a certain types of black holes devour wayward stars. Takes a few bites and then flings the remains across the universe. Oh, okay, well, so we don't really want to be in the way of those remains. We should be traveling. We have to be able to travel by light speed.

We have to be able to travel at least by light speed. and that is we are not there yet. We can't even get off the ground when it's cloudy. I mean, we're so far advanced, and yet we're not even close to being where we need to be. So that really kind of bumps me out, to be honest. I mean, we have to be better, and we have to know how things affect us.

I mean, we had the Starlings blasted away last year. remember and it was because of the solar storms and I love the story about it because it's talking about well the sun belched out in M1.1 flare and related coronal mass ejection and that was happening on that happened on January 29th my birthday by the way and then on February 3rd Starlake launched a group of 49 satellites

to an altitude of only 130 miles above Earth's surface that didn't last long and now we know why They took a closer look at the storm, and they identified a mass plasma that impacted our planet's magnetosphere. The actual event was a halo coronal mass ejection from an active region in the northeast quadrant of the sun. I could have told him that. All they had to do was asked. The material traveled at around 690 kilometers per second as a shock-driving magnetic cloud. Think of it as a long, ropy mass of material writhing its way through space.

As it traveled, it expanded at a solar-facing satellite. including stereo A, which took a direct hit. Eventually, the cloud smacked into Earth's magnetosphere, creating a geomagnetic storm. One of the side effects of space weather is that it can affect satellites. Hello. Warming the thermosphere and the increased the density of the upper atmosphere over the short amount of time and cause it to swell up. A denser atmosphere causes a phenomenon called the atmospheric drag. essentially the thicker atmosphere slows down and anything moving through it heats the thing up

so that's what affected the newly launched starling stations and that's when they started to feel that atmospheric drag so we're not even prepared for that and i just feel like we should be prepared for more than we are but you know who am i they didn't they don't even ask me to the space symposium in Colorado Springs. I'd like to have maybe the general ask me to come along, but they haven't. So that's the way it goes.

I will leave you with the joke of the day. I heard this yesterday. I did not write this joke, but I heard this yesterday from my nephew, who just flew in for a couple of days and he said, hey. I'm laughing at it already because

it made me laugh. What's the worst thing about Don Lemon getting fired? I don't know. What's the worst thing about Don Lemon getting fired? There won't be a Tucker Carlson monologue about it.
