  • They just found water on Mars.

  • For years and years, they believed that there was no actual water.

  • And if we're not prepared, then we're on a hostile planet.

  • Okay.

  • When I was a nursing assistant, I took care of a lady who couldn't chew any food.

  • Bad teeth.

  • She didn't want to go get them pulled out.

  • She was so old.

  • She just, like, was cool, drinking juice the rest of her life.

  • And her family decided that it would be better for her to get her teeth pulled and get dentures.

  • She ended up getting her teeth pulled, and after that, she refused to eat.

  • She ended up just dying.

  • After somebody dies, we strip the bed, sanitize the room.

  • It's this whole thing.

  • And the next patient we had in there was a very short term stay.

  • She was just going through some pretty intense chemotherapy.

  • She called me in, and she asked me, did somebody just die in this bed?

  • And I said, yep, they did.
