SPEAKER_01 3:12

Now here's what I saw. I saw somebody on TikTok talking about tent camping and how nobody actually brings tents. They bring three 10x10 pop-ups. Yeah, pop-ups. Because you get a 30 by 10 space. And so to like perfectly max out the house, you make three 10x10 next to each other. That makes 30 by 10. Uh and then she's like, yeah, and then you can put up like tapestries or couch.

SPEAKER_00 3:37

People bring couches and chairs. So you're outside.

SPEAKER_01 3:40

You're it's like take the inside, but outside, it seems like it's less about camping.

SPEAKER_00 3:45

That sounds I would like an Airbnb.

SPEAKER_01 3:49

No, I'm just I'm not understanding because you like camping.

SPEAKER_00 3:52

You have to do it. I do, but that's not camping. You have to pay for the showers and the bathrooms. I'm I like camping.

SPEAKER_01 3:58

Like quarters.

SPEAKER_00 3:59

Making like inside outside isn't camping too.

SPEAKER_01 4:02

So would you sleep in a tent?

SPEAKER_00 4:03

SPEAKER_01 4:04

Okay. Okay.

SPEAKER_00 4:05

Immediately sound. You might be able to see his little head pop up every once in a while. Yeah, he's pretty freaking cute. Yeah. Yeah. Stage. I do like concert. But I will say I the well, I'm not a huge I I'm usually like my one of my favorite concerts was when we all went to Lizzie McAlpine. Uh-huh. And basically everyone sat down.

SPEAKER_02 7:10

It was mellow. Sat down.

SPEAKER_00 7:11

You know what? It was a listening show. A listening show. I'm here to listen to the music to watch.

SPEAKER_01 7:20

I'll say, as I get older, the things that I thought were super cool about concerts, I increasingly don't like.

SPEAKER_00 7:27

What did you think was cool?

SPEAKER_01 7:28

I thought it was cool that like a random band would open. Now I'm like, just get to the person that I'm here to see. I paid money for one of the things. I thought it was cool when they'd leave and it'd be like, oh my god, like Encore, everyone would call for Encore. And then they come back and play their most popular song. I'm like, yeah, I I know. I knew you were coming.

SPEAKER_00 7:47

The fake Encore is crazy. Fake Encore is crazy. Yeah. I love when it's when they actually leave. When they actually leave. Oh, oh, the show's done. Great. I like that. I do too.

SPEAKER_01 7:57

I love I love a no encore. I think if you're gonna come back and do an encore, do something random, like a B-side or like a cover of the side. A cover. I like a cover. We came to see you to hear your most popular song. Play the song. Yeah. And then Encore, because we love you so much, we want you to come back, of course.

SPEAKER_00 8:13

Yeah. And I really liked, I mean, not to you know, harp on it. I really liked Lizzie McAlpine. She just showed up in literally, it seemed like maybe she had like a Menti B right before the show. She was a little like she was in legit sweatshirt, like a sweatsuit. She was in sweatshirts.

SPEAKER_01 8:30

I respect it.

SPEAKER_00 8:31

And like didn't look like she had any makeup on. Which is funny because it kind of worked. It totally worked.

SPEAKER_01 8:36

Her music serves that a good sit-down concert. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 8:39

But I also loved um Maggie Rogers, who was like super stripped back set, like or like like actual like set itself.

SPEAKER_01 8:45

Like Yeah, see, I love that concert too.

SPEAKER_00 8:47

It just kind of like jumped around. Don't like stand the whole time. That's my issue. Don't like stand the whole time. I need a party. I need a party too. I don't like it. I need you're stuck with people. I need hype dancing. Yeah, I get that. Party, Taylor Swift concert. I will say I do like what Harry Stiles is trying to do with his next tour of like, this is like, I want everyone coming ready to dance. I like that. He's trying to make a he's trying to basically be a DJ for dancing.

SPEAKER_02 9:15

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 9:15

He wants to perform while everyone else is like doing their thing. He has a song called DJ's Don't Dance No More. They say, DJ's Don't Dance No More.

SPEAKER_01 9:28

That's on his background. That was sang by a tiny little mouse singer. Yeah. No, those are his singers. Those are his background singers.

SPEAKER_00 9:36

His mouse are a bunch of what they get from the same orphanage as Stored Little or what? Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 9:40

He was raised in a tower and they made dresses for him. That's awesome. Oh, that's so cool. Yeah, the mice. And now they sing back up for him. Yeah. Yeah. That's crazy. I love that for Harry. That's amazing.

SPEAKER_00 9:50

He sang that song on the show. You know what? If we see him with a music video and it's a bunch of tiny little mice making his costumes clips. Trademarked. Trademarked. He saw this and got the idea for it. Well, I'm sending this to his people.

SPEAKER_01 10:01

Speaking of the idea for it. Guys, space is back, by the way. I don't know if you know this. Space is so back.

SPEAKER_00 10:10

Woo! Space. New pictures of the moon that we've never seen.

SPEAKER_01 10:14

We got the idea for it.

SPEAKER_00 10:15

Okay, because we've never seen the moon because we never went to the moon. Thank you. Okay. No, we only see the front side of the moon. We got to see the back side of the moon.

SPEAKER_01 10:22

You know what's crazy about that? I know you're doing a bit. What's crazy about that is there's people on TikTok. Like this new journey to the moon is sparking new people being like the moon landings photo.

SPEAKER_00 10:33

Oh, there's a specific person.

SPEAKER_01 10:34

Yeah. That we know.

SPEAKER_00 10:36

That uh on your side of the family who's been posting on Facebook.

SPEAKER_01 10:40

No devastating.

SPEAKER_00 10:42

About a photo that was posted and it looks it's my sister. No. They pretty much were like, this looks like someone set up a tripod and it looks like the reflections from a flash.

SPEAKER_01 10:53

Right.

SPEAKER_00 10:54

And maybe it does, guys. I'm sorry. We don't know everything in the world.

SPEAKER_01 10:58

What's awesome is I I saw something that really spoke to me, and it's everything seems like a conspiracy theory when you're dumb. You're like, how do these lights even work? Like somebody's out to get us.

SPEAKER_00 11:11

It's like this is a debate I've had for Minia Moon. Is I have always said, I said, I will never understand how the internet works. It just won't, like, it does not comprehend to me the logistics of it. How does the picture like and they're like, it's numbers, it's coding. I go, but that doesn't like that doesn't compute like a job. There's a giant cable, and what do you mean? The Wi-Fi off of the satellite towers. And then I said, I can comprehend the idea of space more than I can comprehend truly how the logistically works. And that sparked a debate. I started I made that that blanket statement in like 2017.

SPEAKER_01 11:45

You understand space more than you understand Wi-Fi or internet or how logistically how the internet probably because we don't know enough space.

SPEAKER_00 11:53

How's this high res photo appear from one like I know I could understand more than I could understand that? I'm like, how's this picture, these pixels all come together as picture, and then you click one button and automatically it changes? And then I was like, I and that might make me sound stupid. I mean, that's and somebody, somebody, God has given the knowledge to somebody to actually comprehend that. It's just not me.

SPEAKER_01 12:15

True. Right.

SPEAKER_00 12:16

In the same way that people are like, space is never ending. I'm like, yeah, I feel like that I I can grasp that.

SPEAKER_01 12:22

And here's the here's the difference is you're entering this conversation with a love of learning new things, obviously. Yeah. And what I can't stand is people being like, Yep, that's fake, and I know it to be fake, and here's why. Because the the earth is flat. We're not going to space. I'm like, there's just such a lack of like You know what they should make a movie about? Wanting to find new knowledge and wanting to like that. Learn new things. You're just like a movie about you figured it all out.

SPEAKER_00 12:53

There's been so many movies about space. Yeah. They need to make a movie about the earth is flat. No, about internet. Okay. And like how internet works. Everyone hands up. Who's doing that?

unknown 13:08

Broop.

SPEAKER_00 13:08

Who's doing this?

SPEAKER_01 13:09

Was that a good Skype noise? Who's doing this?

SPEAKER_00 13:11

SPEAKER_00 13:17

SPEAKER_01 13:18

SPEAKER_00 13:27

Truly. They had a grasp. I still sometimes said, like, oh, we Skyped.

SPEAKER_01 13:32

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 13:33

It's like in my zeitgeist.

SPEAKER_01 13:35

And I remember when FaceTime started, I was like, no, I don't want FaceTime. I'll just Skype. If I need to Skype somebody, I'll do it. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 13:43

Genius. Oh. Yeah, but then Skype came out with the membership plan. Was that what it was that how they fumbled it? Was it a membership plan?

SPEAKER_01 13:52

SPEAKER_00 13:53

Yes. Oh, did it pause?

SPEAKER_01 13:56

Oh, it was me.

unknown 13:57

It was you.

SPEAKER_00 13:58

Oh my gosh. The call's coming from inside the house. The Skype's coming from inside the house. Who's doing this? Everyone hands up. You know what? What a god-awful movie. And it's in our own zeitgeys, too. Yeah. I never watched it. I'll forever make that joke.

SPEAKER_01 14:13

When was the first computer built? Or when was the internet? When did the internet start?

SPEAKER_00 14:18

94?

SPEAKER_01 14:21

No. Before that. The first computer. Wow. Wow. But the difference is 1945.

Computer took up a whole room.

SPEAKER_01 14:30

Wow. Computer wasn't computing. Wow. Like wow. How did like we went to space before like the modern computer? Yeah. Which is amazing.

SPEAKER_00 14:39

Uh before before we had access to the modern computer. No. Before the everyday person. Oh the yeah, the modern computer. 1969. We went to the moon. I thought you were going to be able to do that. NASA's had space. NASA's had computers for years.

SPEAKER_01 14:51

Internet. Okay. First internet.

SPEAKER_00 14:55

That sounds so smart.

SPEAKER_01 14:56

The same year.

SPEAKER_00 14:57

First internet.

SPEAKER_01 14:58

We went to the moon the same year that we started the internet.

SPEAKER_00 15:01

But I don't think it's the internet we know today.

SPEAKER_01 15:03

Well, sure, but the first internet. First internet that we know today.

SPEAKER_00 15:10

This is so brainwork.

SPEAKER_01 15:11

It's hard-hitting questions. Okay. Yeah, they're saying it evolved into the modern internet in 1983.

SPEAKER_00 15:18

Yeah, you're trusting the AI. AI.

SPEAKER_01 15:20

The AI. You know what? God, you're right.

SPEAKER_00 15:24

When the AI said that there was no Adolf Hitler card in Apple SAC. You're gonna trust that? Right, right, right, right, right, right.

SPEAKER_01 15:32

Okay, okay. We still went to space in 1966. We went to the moon in 1969. You know what I'm talking about. Even Stevens? Yes. Come on. The musical episode. Come on. Of course. 1968, but a year later. Okay. Wow. You really know it.

SPEAKER_00 15:52

Until until then. Now it's gone.

Well, that's whatever.

SPEAKER_00 15:56

Whatever. Whatever. Whatever. Artemis 2. Let's talk about the Artemis 2. Back to the moon. Yeah, thank you. Thank you. Thank you. To the moon for the first time. Yes.

SPEAKER_01 16:05

As of this episode coming out, um, Artemis II has landed. Or they're landing tonight in our waters. In San Diego, right off the cut.

SPEAKER_00 16:17

Hopefully nothing bad happens.

SPEAKER_01 16:19

Did you guys know that every morning NASA sends a wake-up song to Artemis 2 to like wake them up? They have to they don't have like an MP3 player on board, I guess. So they send it to them like over the radio comms.

SPEAKER_00 16:33

Oh, I was thinking it was just because there's no daylight. It's just dark. So they need to wake up. You think they brought their phones? No.

SPEAKER_01 16:40

I don't think so. I think they brought one phone to Skype Us and that was it.

SPEAKER_00 16:44

Just one because they're sky they are sending videos back and forth, but it's probably a computer probably built into their system on board. You think it's a Mac? Or do you think it's Dell? Do you think they're Oh it's worldwide, so it's probably Dell. Do you think they're playing games on the It's not worldwide because it's beyond the world? Try a PC. Space world. Try a PC. Space space.

SPEAKER_01 17:03

I bet you there were some bids on who was gonna make the space computer.

SPEAKER_00 17:07

Look up who's maybe it's it's their own. Maybe it has nothing to do with I think maybe they've made their own computer. Maybe.

SPEAKER_01 17:13

Oh, somebody made a Spotify playlist of the Artemis 2 Wake Up Songs.

SPEAKER_00 17:17

That's hilarious. I love that. Is it what?

SPEAKER_01 17:19

Oh, NASA made it.

SPEAKER_00 17:21

Honestly, get the Gen Z in to NASA. I think they're the Gen Zs. We got a Spotify playlist. Well, I have a question. Pink pony club. I thought NASA was dead. I thought we had Space Force. I thought that was our thing.

SPEAKER_01 17:35

NASA's back, baby. Long live NASA. Where's the biggest?

SPEAKER_00 17:37

No, because NASA, NASA's not military. Okay, but then where Space Force is military. So then what's Space Force doing?

SPEAKER_01 17:45

I don't know. Space Force isn't doing anything.

SPEAKER_00 17:48

Why do we have it?

SPEAKER_01 17:49

We don't, we don't. We don't. In a couple of years, we won't have it again. Here's a picture of one of the astronauts with honey on his bread. Oh, cedar.

SPEAKER_00 17:59

Yeah, it's how would he eat that? I get that's the point. I guess I see a video of it. Stupid question.

SPEAKER_01 18:06

Is there a gravity inside the body because like how are they able to swallow stuff?

SPEAKER_00 18:13

I mean it is a I I get it. It's like it does kind of feel stupid, but also I can understand it's your body already. But your body is it's the muscles that are pushing it. Peristals. Yeah, yeah. It's your own reflexes.

SPEAKER_01 18:25

Your own little personal conveyor belt.

SPEAKER_00 18:27

I just pouring the honey out of the jar, and it's crazy. It's like well, that was like the girl um showing how she washes her hair and she like pours the water and it was a ball, and she would like to take it and like that. Those are the people who were stuck in space. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Remember? My thing, why we keep sending people, we get them stuck up there.

SPEAKER_01 18:47

I know. Um, we didn't send them. I think they got stuck. Were those NASA people? No, they were us. Did we send them those?

SPEAKER_00 18:53

Yeah, we sent them to the space station, International Space Station. Uh oh. And we got them stuck up there.

SPEAKER_01 18:57

Well, these guys are coming home, so that's fine. Yeah, why did they take them?

SPEAKER_00 19:00

What was the point of them going up there just to be like, we went back to the moon?

SPEAKER_01 19:03

This is Artemis II. Apparently, Artemis I went up with like no one for a dog. The usual moon route. Yeah. That we usually get. Yeah. Artemis II route was a longer route. This there actually these four people have gone the furthest that any human has ever traveled away from and it's a self-controlled route. They have a lot of self-control.

SPEAKER_00 19:27

So they they're the ones who are driving it.

SPEAKER_01 19:30

In a few years, Artemis III is going to the moon. They're gonna land on the moon, do a full moon mission, people walking on the moon. They haven't walked on the moon in like 60 years or something like that. I don't think they ever walked on the moon.

SPEAKER_00 19:42

I do think that was fake.

SPEAKER_01 19:43

Why do you think that's the water?

SPEAKER_00 19:44

I think they went, but I don't think they walked.

SPEAKER_01 19:47

Why do you think that? I don't know. Okay, uh Answer this for me. Why would they lie about that? What reason would they have to do that?

SPEAKER_00 19:56

Because to rally morale morale because they seem like going to war with the Soviets.

SPEAKER_01 20:02

Has anyone ever walked on the moon?

unknown 20:04

No.

SPEAKER_00 20:05

No, I I can see it being a no.

SPEAKER_01 20:06

I the call's coming from inside the house, you guys. What are you talking about? You've seen one, you've seen one too many movies.

SPEAKER_00 20:14

I'm just saying. I don't know. I see the wires.

SPEAKER_01 20:18

True. It's so much. I'm not I'm not engaging with this. I'm not engaging with this. I'm not choosing today to engage with this.

SPEAKER_00 20:27

I'm saying.

SPEAKER_01 20:29

No, you're this is a bad faith argument because you don't know what you're talking about.

SPEAKER_00 20:32

Oh. And you do? Yes. You saw him walk in the moon.

SPEAKER_01 20:35

SPEAKER_01 20:36

I was there.

SPEAKER_00 20:38

You were there. Okay.

SPEAKER_01 20:39

You were the one who walked on the moon.

SPEAKER_00 20:41

You watched that Mythbusters episode of how they could fake it, didn't you?

SPEAKER_01 20:44

It takes like two seconds to think about. Oh, they broadcast. It's more likely that they went to the moon than they broadcast this whole conspiracy that they didn't actually go to the moon. It takes like two seconds of thinking about it to realize that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Not for mirage. We want to lie to the Russians. We don't want to look like pussies in front of the Russians. So let's hire a Hollywood director to make a moon movie that we're gonna broadcast to the entire world.

SPEAKER_00 22:46

A Trump Easter tweet. Is this on his like his fake tweet?

Here's what the President of the United States tweeted on Easter Sunday at 8 o'clock in the morning, 8 03 a.m. Tuesday will be Power Plant Day and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one in Iran. There will be nothing like it. Open the effing straight, you crazy bastards, or you'll be living in hell. Just watch Praise be to Allah of President Donald Trump. That is what the commander in chief of the United States of America tweeted on Easter morning 2026. Yes. If they had the capacity to cover up anything, they would they he wouldn't have access to a cell phone. There is it's just a good old-fashioned space race, guys. You know, Easter, that sacred uh American. You know, as as a Christian nation that we are, Easter Sunday. It's like gotta be the most important holiday.

SPEAKER_00 24:02

Um do you think the Christian nationalists feel about that? Oh, they'll speak. Oh, they love it. No, yeah, they'll just be to all on Easter?

SPEAKER_01 24:09

SPEAKER_00 24:16

Yeah, Tucker Carlson Carlson's on the other side now. He's with Candace Owens being like, not my president.

SPEAKER_01 24:21

A lot of people are calling for the uh 25th Amendment. What's that? Which is basically like if the president is out of his mind, we can just impeach him because for being out of his mind. I mean, he's a good thing. I did say it though. Let me let me correct that. Let me make that clear.

SPEAKER_00 24:33

It was like um it was like a summary TikTok, and it was like hot dogs and bonfire. It's like this and impeachment.

SPEAKER_01 24:40

It's the orderly transfer of power one. If the president dies, resigns, or is incapacitated. Oh.

SPEAKER_00 24:46

Incapacitated. You'd have to you'd have to really.

SPEAKER_01 24:48

And it would have to be a lot of people are saying that you'll never rally everybody.

SPEAKER_00 24:52

But I guess it's not.

SPEAKER_00 31:10

No, it is. We can talk about space. What do you think's up there? If we ever go up.

SPEAKER_01 31:14

Everything that we think about.

SPEAKER_00 31:17

Aliens. Oh, aliens for sure exist. There's no way. There's no way they don't.

unknown 31:22

Aliens.

SPEAKER_01 31:23

There's no way they don't.

SPEAKER_00 31:24

There's no way they don't think. Damn Looney 2's back in action. You don't believe in aliens?

SPEAKER_01 31:29

I think it's very likely that if there's other life on Earth, they are actively avoiding us. Yeah, well, yeah. Outside of Earth. Yeah. Life on other planets.

SPEAKER_00 31:39

I think so too, because they know we're doomed.

SPEAKER_01 31:41

Let me let me double double take on that. I think if there's life out there, they're actively avoiding us.

SPEAKER_00 31:46

Yeah, because they got a better one.

SPEAKER_01 31:47

And we'll we'll never see them.

SPEAKER_00 31:49

And different galaxies. I think in the same way that we're like, oh my gosh, we just made it to our moon. Right. They they're they're obsessed with their own moon. They're busy doing their own thing. They probably have three moons. Well, okay, don't assume things of them.

SPEAKER_01 32:04

Jupiter does. But there's nobody on Jupiter. We know that.

SPEAKER_00 32:07

I don't think there's other life in our galaxy. I think there's life in space. I think for sure. There's other life in our galaxy. They're in their own galaxies and they're doing stuff.

SPEAKER_01 32:17

The universe is infinite. Like it's going on and on and on forever.

SPEAKER_00 32:20

So you don't think that anyone's seen a UFO?

SPEAKER_01 32:23

Oh, I think so. I think I think so. I think people have seen things that the government won't tell us what they are. Which is an alien.

SPEAKER_00 32:32

You think from like another country.

SPEAKER_01 32:34

Yeah, or like, you know, it's um a military exercise or something, or it's like um what do you call that? Like technology that we don't want to be out there. Like uh top secret technology.

SPEAKER_00 32:47

All that stuff gets leaked from the government of like top soft security. They're leak things that they have control of.

SPEAKER_01 32:53

I think like a Black Hawk helicopter would have looked like a UFO like 50 years ago. 60 years old. A thousand percent. You know what I mean? Like all these drones that we have and all this.

SPEAKER_00 33:05

What about Area 51? We had a family friend who he worked in like high-end security for the government. Right. And I remember being a kid, and he said, like, we have stuff that looks just like UFOs. For sure. Like he's like, we like so yeah, I I think I agree with that.

SPEAKER_01 33:19

Area 51's probably like a weapons testing facility, and it just gotta Oh, I think they have extraterrestrial things. You think?

SPEAKER_00 33:27

Yeah. I mean, would I maybe it's not like how we've seen in movies and like TV shows.

SPEAKER_01 33:34

Right. I I guess that's what I'm saying is like, would they really keep the alien stuff in the place where everyone thinks alien stuff is? Yeah, I think so. Yeah. I guess they could.

SPEAKER_00 33:43

There's a reason why we see all these people who are like, I'm gonna try and get as close as I can to Area 51 and then they get murdered.

SPEAKER_01 33:49

But that's exactly what we would do to people if they were trying to get on a top secret military base, too. Like we would kill them.

SPEAKER_00 33:56

But you better stuff like we're that smart.

SPEAKER_01 33:59

That's true, and I'm it's dawning on me that the leader of the free world did say that thing about the strait on Easter.

SPEAKER_00 34:07

So I'm like he's not the leader of the free world. The president of the United States of the United States is the leader of the okay. We're the free world. That's what that's kind of not. We're kind of notorious for that. We're kind of notorious to be the dot in the world, though. But like we're kind of you know how like um you know how like back in the day England like took everything? The idea that we have is that we go and we like set things free. I don't know if I'd call us the free world anymore.

SPEAKER_01 34:34

It's but that's like kind of what we're gonna do. It's not my stance on it, it's just a figure of speech. It's really just like a thing that people say, you know.

SPEAKER_00 34:42

But I mean, there's still people who come to this country for like a better life and for freedom.

SPEAKER_01 34:47

Oh, I agree.

SPEAKER_00 34:48

I think that's why they seek asylum here from whatever And we can't have that.

SPEAKER_01 34:53

We can't let them do that.

SPEAKER_00 34:55

Flip that, flip that, flip that. And also you slapping.

SPEAKER_01 35:00

I need a button that says ironic.

SPEAKER_00 35:03
