This is a HeadGum Podcast.
This is All Fantasy Everything, the podcast where we fantasy draft anything and everything from the world of pop culture.
On today's episode, we're drafting Outer Space.
I'm your host, Ian Carmel, and joining me today, I'm doing this whole thing out of order,
is our wonderful
guest, Andy Wood, a stand-up comedian, a scientist, a Jeopardy contestant.
We're not going to touch on that at all.
He's not going to bring it up.
And I'm your host, Ian Carmel.
With me as always, my friend, Sean Jordan and David Borey.
Let's get into it.
I'm being spacey today, as in thing. welcome to another brand new episode of all fantasy everything although this is really
more of an all sci-fi fantasy everything.
But not even the fi.
Just an all science everything.
Sci.
I have some fi.
I have some fi in mind.
I got some fi.
I mean, theoretically.
Oh, you got some fi?
Okay.
Yeah.
Well, how deep do you want to get, bro?
How much do you want to decompress after this?
Is it fi?
Or is it just what the government decides to tell us is sci?
I was talking about this
like just doing the list on the couch last night and i can only talk about this stuff for
mere minutes before i start to question reality and like religion all this stuff comes into play
so i'm like yeah i get panicky don't you guys i do yes i find it comforting. Andy, you can talk whenever, by the way.
This is not one of those.
Sorry. You don't got to listen to us.
Listen to us figure it out real quick.
I think, yeah, looking at the night sky
used to be something that gave me some
existential dread. And then at some point in the last
10 or 20 years, I'm
Camp David
over here. Not Camp David.
Oh, wait.
It's comfy. Camp David over here. Not Camp David. Oh, wait. No, come on in.
Boats, lake boats.
Team David.
I remember
very distinctly
being at a sleepover
with my friend Julianian congsley
shout out to him he's listening he ended up going to mit he was like the smartest kid
at our whole school and like he was telling me about space and just talking about like where
it ends and can it end it like keeps going forever and like see that right then you went to sleep
and i was laying there with my eyes open for like hours, just like, what the fuck?
Where does it end?
Like, it's the thing I've told myself is that an ant doesn't understand what a laptop computer is.
So I don't understand how space works.
And that gives me some peace.
You don't find that comforting?
That, that, the ant laptop thing comforts me, but not the other thing before it.
That's the only part of it I find comforting.
Because I was, same thing, Ian.
I remember, I wasn't a sleepover,
but I remembered one night just thinking about all that.
And I was in sixth grade and I was like,
I'm going to die.
And then that for,
I remember that taken up like a year of my life.
It was probably a week,
but laying in bed every night being like,
what's the point?
It's all,
I mean,
I'm going to die,
but you know,
thankfully that went away,
but space is what brought me.
Andy,
what is the point?
Why'd you bring this up, Andy?
You just wanted me to wreck the Monday?
Yeah, some cans of worms can't be unopened
and this is just going to put some people
in an uncomfortable headspace
and I can't apologize for that.
We're just pushing the ball forward on humanity.
By the way, when you introduced me as a scientist,
I got to push back a little bit.
I hold a bachelor's degree in engineering.
If I'm a scientist-
I'm not hearing a pushback.
I'm not hearing a pushback at all.
Did you fake it?
Did you forge it or something?
What's the pushback?
Can I correct and say a man of science?
A science enthusiast.
A science enthusiast.
Hoster of a science and comedy podcast because I love it.
But yeah, I think some people would be like, Andy's a scientist? I guess we're all scientists. enthusiast of a science and comedy podcast because i do i do i love it but yeah i think
some people would be like andy's a scientist i guess we're all scientists in a way aren't we
yeah comparatively you are okay you're the most sciencey person who's been on our podcast
i think is that true i would i mean what's real with that who else would it be
i think that that's pretty safe to say it's true. It's either you or Shane Torres.
Yeah, Shane.
Does he have a STEM degree
I don't know about?
He has a doctorate.
A seasoned STEM degree.
He has a doctorate in theoretical
physics. You didn't know that?
I forgot. Dr. Torres. That's why we always call him Dr. Torres.
I forgot that.
I think you might actually be the person with at least the most interest in science.
Have you had Brooks Whelan on?
No.
Did we have Brooks on?
No, we did.
We did forever ago, right?
Yeah.
Well, he also, when I started, when Matt Kirshen and Brooks Whelan and I started our podcast,
Probably Science, it was because the three of us all had STEM degrees.
And Matt was like, hey, we should do something related to that.
Because, yeah, Brooks was doing biomedical engineering up until like within months of getting SNL.
I think he just stopped showing up to the lab once he got hired at SNL, but didn't tell his boss.
I would not believe that that's why that guy quit coming to work.
That surprised me more than anything I'm going to hear in the next two hours talking about space.
Yeah, that's true.
That's a pretty great story.
What is STEM?
Let me cut you off. What is STEM? Oh, science, technology,
engineering, and math. Oh, okay.
Sweet.
Girls in STEM is a big push,
Sean, so you might be able to get Maxine there
in the STEM stuff. Nah, she's already shooting
free throws. I've decided where
I've decided where I've decided where
she's going to focus her efforts.
I think your wife is a woman in STEM.
I should know. Right?
Didn't she major in, what's her college major?
She's got a degree in zoology
and children's education.
There you go.
You're married to a scientist and you didn't.
Dude, it's shocking how much I don't know
about that stuff.
About your wife. Because it doesn't matter to me
all that much. I mean, it's cool, but I don't
those details, just like I don't know
what a lot of my friends do for a living.
That can't be too different from you guys, right?
I don't know what Nampe does. I never have.
But he's a great friend.
You know what I mean? I don't want to call him out. I know what Nampe does. I never have. But he's a great friend. You know what I mean? I don't want to call him out.
I know what Nampe does.
I know that he works in production for Nike.
Yeah, I've talked to him about it a lot.
He was on the Nocta team.
Yeah.
Maybe cut that out.
I don't know if we're supposed to.
I'm not that kind of producer.
Although now we're hearing that Nampe is having work for Drake.
That's what I mean.
Maybe we pull it all out.
Hold on.
But I've talked to Nampeay i've talked to nampay
at length at what he does i have too but i couldn't tell you exactly what that job entails
what the title is yeah i don't know i'm just like what are you doing on wednesday i'm not
exactly sure even now we're airing about completely on national uh podcast
welcome this is all fantasy everything welcome to name day talk on all fantasy everything uh
whatever he is doing he's phenomenal at it i know that much speaking of zoology thank you to courtney
yeah from the what is the exact name of the zoo in madison but it's got it's got like an exact name
the name of their son who passed yeah they're frank villa is that right henry
villa the henry villa zoo hold on i can look it up right now and tell you it's a free zoo
it's a free zoo in manchester wisconsin and we got a behind the scenes sean you did it like a
month ago or so we got a behind the scenes tour we got to feed bears bro courtney yeah i didn't get
to feed any bears we fed grizzly bears and polar bears could you feed it was fucking crazy the
opener wasn't good so you just fed them to the bears which we fed them the mc was lovely but
we fed them to the polar bears anyway um the rhino did not want to talk to us no did
you get hands on rhino no no they brought us over to the rhino she had these alfalfa cubes and was
like trying to get the rhino to come over and like it was sunny and he was laying in the dirt
and he just did not he was like he wasn't yeah he has stood in the crossroads that we've all stood at, which is, am I too comfy to admit how hungry I am?
Yeah, exactly.
His ears even perked up for a second.
He was like thinking about it and then he went back down.
I got a bad experience with you probably.
He was like, I don't want to go over to another one of these AFE boys.
He's never experienced such a strong touch before.
I touched the rhino and you could tell the rhino was like, whoa didn't realize that well they said hey shane touched him so yeah they had
to pull shane out of the cage he was in there trying to box had like shane had an emotional
connection to the rhino like a real like i don't know if we should be airing out courtney like this
airing out courtney airing out shane but she said that shane had a very emotional like
sort of you know intimate but not sexual some people say intimate they mean sexual that is
not what i mean i mean intimate emotional connection with this rhinoceros well they're
both tiny frog mouth frog mouth a tiny frog mouth yeah i agree yep those things are dang
wait am i thinking of the right thing in the where the turtles are
the bird dude it was this crazy bird it like looked like an owl but half of its body was a
mouth and it had the what did they call the membrane so it like blinked sideways oh yeah
blink it's like it can blink three ways like elevator doors it It had elevator door eyelids? It was scary, man.
We saw that thing and they were feeding it mealworms
and I didn't want to touch one because they were alive.
And thankfully it stopped eating them before it got to me
because I was going to have to be like,
I'm just not going to touch that.
We touched the worms.
Yeah, we touched the worms.
You and RFK, man.
See that red panda?
We saw the panda.
This is not a zoo podcast, though.
But...
If we just recap all the animals we saw,
that's going to sound like listening to a toddler's podcast.
We saw a red panda.
Also, it's like,
we could all talk about all the stuff
that happened in Wisconsin.
Maybe some people almost got diarrhea. lot of shit happened almost what do you have
okay well in the words of that person it hit the cheeks not the streets
oh almost almost they had diarrhea it just didn't you mean diarrhea somebody somebody on this
podcast who was in madison in the, let's say, two months.
So that really opens it up to any of the three of us.
It does.
Went for a long walk.
After a bike ride.
After a bike ride.
I don't know how much of this is my story to share.
Not to tip the hand at all.
You can tell my story.
And cheese curds and a milkshake in the same day.
After not having a drink for a long time.
Yeah. In the same day after not having a real long time yeah in the same sitting a cheese curd milkshake you got i yeah and it uh it did what it does yeah man somebody's
phone was dying and somebody had decided to wear white shorts and it was just like very touch and go for a minute there and then someone texted his partner
and said the worst has happened and she said are you okay and he said i half did this and she said
how do you half do this and he who is a very clever stand-up comedian patreon.com backslash david bory go buy a special
he said because it hit the cheeks not the streets oh
but it was a tough time to walk with it in the cheeks i luckily got an uber oh no i was scared
because the it was is that could hurt after a while. And also, that's a tough, every step is a game.
Yeah.
Every step is a game.
It's like the NBA Finals.
Yeah.
Exactly.
That's how I felt.
Single elimination is the way to play.
I got half eliminated.
That was the problem.
I stayed in on a technicality.
You were down 3-1 in the series.
You had to win every game to come back
by the way the initial message to the significant
other from this friend of yours sounded almost
like a civil war letter
I was like is that what happens when you're about
to lose control of your bowels
my dearest Margaret
it brings me
great sadness to be without you
I have been in the
bogs of Kentucky for six months now the bogs of Kentucky for six months now.
The bogs of Kentucky were almost in you.
And Tatum was the day of days.
Madison ruled.
We got that hot steamed cheese bread, walked around the farmer's market, went to the zoo.
It was beautiful.
Thank you to everyone who came out to that show and to Burlington, Vermont, which also ruled and was full of delicious treats i love an isthmus dude al you're on isthmuses can't keep us off isthmuses
isthmus eve is uh we celebrate that i'm protestant we're isthmus men like businessmen does that work
at all i'm not an isthmus man i'm an isthmus man a buddy of mine a buddy texted me today randomly and he's like is it crazy that
I got furious that someone needed to be explained who Lord Tariq and Peter Guns were sometimes I
forget how much Lord Tariq and Peter Guns come up on here like yeah you're probably on our top
50 references yeah Lord Tariq or Peter Guns who Who do you like better? Andy, I'm asking you. Oh, good Lord.
Yeah.
Too much pressure to pretend that I know these people.
They didn't bring it up on Jeopardy? There, I got it in.
Jeopardy. Right?
Yeah.
What's the artist?
The two of them together are called what?
Lord Tariq and Peter Guns.
Oh, I thought it was a duo.
Oh.
They are two rappers
who rapped together for a while
called Lord Tariq and Peter Guns.
I'm not
a businessman. I'm a businessman is a lyric
of theirs. That's cheesy.
I thought that was how you got to this point.
They have the lyric
and I love sex.
And I rock and roll Lex and I love sex
one of them is the host of cheaters now
if that helps I know you're a big cheaters guy
and Sean
gets the board
Jeopardy Jeopardy reference
oh man if I had the board
please
I'll go Sean
then you can say what you're going to do with the board
Sean is Jordan on Twitter.
Sean Cougar,
Mel Jordan on Instagram.
And if he had the board,
dot,
dot,
dot,
I think I'd buckle.
I don't jeopardy.
I think there would have to be,
I mean,
it would have to seriously be like burritos or escape something where I'm
like,
I know everything.
I think I would buckle.
I also think I'd forget to say what is all the time.
And from what I hear, they're not very forgiving with that.
Actually, pro tip.
In the first round known as the Jeopardy round,
you do not have to say what is.
Really?
Andy would.
I actually not,
I forgot if it's the first thing that you answer in the game
or if it's the entire round.
I want to say the entire round,
they will still give it to you.
And in the double jeopardy round,
they will say incorrect if you don't.
And you also always have until the host like acknowledges to correct
yourself.
So if you wanted to get lazy,
the first,
the jeopardy round,
you could not do the questions and they'll just gently remind you
but they won't just mark you incorrect fdr next one that's good to know right what i would do then
if like you were gaming jeopardy is i would train myself to every gaming jeopardy well a lot of
people game jeopardy though well that's matamodio yeah yeah yeah right where there's like time
there's like buzzer technique and all that stuff i would answer and then go but so the host couldn't go in until i was 100 sure you'd fake a stunner so i'd be like
what is fdr but harry truman as long as sounds keep going you can't it's like filibustering
on the jeopardy floor yeah yeah that way way Ken Jennings couldn't jump in there.
Sean, where can people see you do stand-up comedy
on the heels of my excellent idea?
You know the all-fantasy-everything tour.
We're hitting the streets.
We're going to be out in the East.
We're going to be in the Midwest.
I'll just rip them off right now.
We're hitting the cheeks, just to be clear.
We're hitting the cheeks and not the streets.

We've been telling people.
Shane's coming to all the shows.
I'm really going to push for one
of the shows for him to let us draft our favorite
Shane nicknames. Who's to say if he's going to let that
happen? It could be in your city.
If I was him, I would not do it.
I'm persuasive, and so it could be
in your city.
You catch him in the right mood,
it'll happen. It might just get
sprung on him, and he doesn't have anything to say about it.
Yeah, I might just be doing it the whole time.
A little mini draft draft every city.

Exploding Kittens.
Andy, what is here?
Hello. First scientist. Let's just keep
saying scientist. I like it. Yeah, it feels good.
Andy T. Wood on Twitter.
Are you on Instagram as well? Andy T. Wood.
I think, yeah, all the platforms.
I didn't get into TikTok.
That was the end.
That's the end of the line for me.
T stands for TikTok, right?
Andy TikTok Wood.
Andy TikTok Wood.
Prominent scientist, stand-up comedian, host of the Probably Science podcast.
Oh, yes, indeed.
Long running, 12 years now. It's the current incarnation for the last eight plus years has been,
um,
she 10 years has been,
uh,
Jesse case and Matt Kirshen and myself doing the weekend science news with
various guests.
Some of whom have no science acumen and some of whom are former commanders of
the international space station or Neil deGrasse Tyson.
Wild.
So to him,
that's the guy who doesn't have any.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And then if we're doing plugs i i am very pleased to announce a an event here i live in the desert if i haven't already mentioned

caitlin gill yeah and she also now uh leads stargazing with a company called skywatcher
out here.
So she and I and the Probably Science Boys decided to put on this event called 229 and Beyond, a weekend of stand-up scientists and stargazing in 29 Palms.
So we're going to have a stand-up from Bobcat Goldthwait, Reese Darby, Natasha Leggero, Moshe Kasher.
We're doing live Probably Science with my friend Farah Alabe from NASA JPL. We're doing live Endless Honeymoon podcast with Moshe Kasher. We're doing live probably science with my friend Farah Alibay from NASA JPL.
We're doing live endless honeymoon podcasts with Moshe and Natasha.
And we'll have trivia to kick off the night because I can't not mention Jeopardy.
And then every night after these stand up and podcasting, we have hours of guided stargazing on high end telescopes.

cool to hit somebody with a book
you wrote? Yes. Yeah.
Like if it was like righteous?
You know what I'm saying?
Like you had to defend yourself and all you had
was your giant book.
That's also the easiest way to get the knowledge into someone's head.
Like if you just hit me really hard with the book, I don't have to read it.
I'll know what happened.
I'll slam you in the dome with my book on this tour.
You just let me know.

Everything is so lovely.
But yeah, stay off my block.

presidents do you guys know the uh wait is it buchanan one of the no yeah i want to say buchanan
someone right around the civil war time um after he left office and, you know,
I think of Buchanan because he sort of set things up
in a bad way for the Civil War to take place.
And then after he left office,
he said, there is nothing left to do now but get drunk.
And then he moved to Europe and drank himself to death,
I want to say.
Make sure that's true. You got to respect that he walked it like he talked to yeah he wasn't half stepping yeah he's like i'm looking it up uh let's see franklin pierce oh
pierce i'm sorry yeah canon pierce yeah pier yeah. There's nothing left to do but get drunk. Twelve years
later, he dies from cirrhosis of the liver.
Perfect. No doubt.
Yeah.
See us, June 22nd, saying
there's nothing left to do but get drunk.
At the Minneapolis show.
So, oh, also
another thing, I'm gonna go ahead and
just sort of put my tent up on sean's block
actually ball blast nachos recently came out and i know nothing else about it because you said it
before the show yeah they're mango so i didn't even buy them i so i lost one of maxine's stuffed
animals at the grocery store yesterday and that is a huge deal i I guess. And so I forgot to buy the chips. I guess.
Well, she was, I mean, it was a thing.
But I forgot to buy the chips on the way out.
So I'm going to go right after this and go get them.
Because, yeah, because I want to try them.
Baja Blast mango Doritos, bro.
Oh, with the shark on it.
Oh, Doritos, not nachos.
Okay, I see.
Yeah, yeah.
I have seen this in my local convenience store.
Oh, dude.
I cannot wait.
I also went to Taco Bell the other day and got the aardvark situation.
Tops.
I don't even know. Aardvark is doing a collab with Taco Bell?
I've been at it.
Brother, you've been gone for too long, my friend.
Come back.
Portland-based hot sauce company, aardvark?
Yep.

that's not one of those like you can't you can't put a lot of that on your hash browns, you know?
You can.
You can be a coward, but yeah, you can.
I wouldn't.
I never knew that was Portland.
That's awesome.
Yeah, Artfall.
And Marshall's Hot Sauce.
Portland.
On the map.
Pretty big hot sauce place.
Sioux Falls got mentioned in SNL the other night by Please Don't Destroy in their sketch twice.
In a flattering manner or what?
I haven't seen it yet.
In a sort of douchey small talk kind of manner.
The beginning of the sketch was it just opened with Sarah Schaefer being like, yeah, so we're going to Sioux Falls this weekend.
Never been.
Always wanted to go.
It's like a dinner party type thing.
So not flattering, but not unflattering.
Anyway, just got mentioned.
It's just some chuffa there.
Chuffa. Yeah. Apples and apples and pears yeah or what is it what is it they have you saying so it looks like
is it pears and carrots it's yeah it's peas and carrots right peas and carrots peas and carrots
peas and carrots yeah apples and pears feels like cockney rhyming slang and probably for
something inappropriate right right right she got she hit me the apples and pears, she did. The apples and pears,
and I apologize for that
if it was, in fact,
inappropriate.
Well, damn,
we were in the scene.
Sean Jordan,
I just noticed
that your name on here
is Isaac K. Lee.
Yeah, dude.
I'm doing a lot of things.
Since you guys
went to Madison,
I did a lot of things.
I'm switching things up.
I'm Isaac now.
He's changed, dude.
Isaac's in Korea
and he's not coming back.
Not coming back. You put him in a pine
box and send him to Korea in a hell of a
cell match.
Yeah, but I loaded up. I put
all of the Socranos on an iPad
for him. So I was like, it'll get you to Korea.
An act of kindness.
Not to speculate on the whereabouts of
one Isaac K. Lee, but to fantasy
draft outer space.
Space shit. Space shit.
Space shit, really?
Yeah, space shit. We're drafting
space shit. Now, the way we determine the order
of that draft is a rollicking game of
rock, paper, scissors, and it's played between the three
of you, and we throw on shoot.
Here we go.
Rock, paper, scissors, shoot!
Oh, David
wins an unnatural victory of paper against two scissors. David, as the winner of rock, paper, scissors, shoot. David wins an unnatural victory of paper against two scissors.
David, as the winner of rock, paper, scissors,
it is incumbent upon you to determine
the order of today's draft.
What will that order be?
Before you do that, I'm sorry. I need to remind you.
I'm a little foggy.
It's okay.
You were out for three weeks.
You got cheese in your blood.
I was straight up Treat Williams for two weeks, dude.
Dana and I started in Montreal and we're getting bagels and chocolate babka.
And then all the way through...
What's that?
Montreal.
Montreal.
We were in Montreal.
I talked to my born in Belgium grandmother last night.
So native spent French speaker.
And the way she said Montreal will blow your mind.
I can't even...
I can't even recreate it. Did she say it's Sioux Falls? and the way she said montreal will blow your mind i can't even i can't even recreate it say it sioux falls is that what she said
she called everything sioux falls uh the hub of culture for the world but we were like treats
everywhere and now so like today is the day after where i'm just like sitting here
i imagine my blood sugar is just off the charts from just being straight up trey williams
so i might say i have no idea what i'm saying at all this entire podcast i could i could say some
so you're gonna get into the five part of the side i think because you're just gonna make some
shit up i get them all five dude yeah exactly we'll be talking about silver surfer and whatnot
uh it's a serpentee draft show what is it
if you lose your daughter's stuffed animal at Fred Meyer
and you walk down every single row of the whole grocery store,
sum it up real quick.
You just go all the way down one,
turn around at the end cap,
all the way down the other,
turn around at the end cap,
all the way down to the other.
So you don't find it.
I asked customer service twice
if they found a little purple stuffed animal.
She shut me down both times.
I'm going to go right after this and ask again.
I'm a mess.
That's what it is.
This seems ripped from the headlines. what what kind of stuffed animal is it's a time i think
it was a beanie baby it was given it was passed down uh from one of laura's friends kids used to
have anyway it was like passed down and the jojo fairy which is the the fairy that comes and takes
your pacifiers so you don't need them anymore.
The Jojo fairy replaced one of her pacifiers with this stuffed animal.
And I fucking lost it.
And I feel...
I almost cried in the grocery store yesterday.
I was almost like...
Does that mean she gets a pacifier back?
No.
God, no.
Seems to me like it does me back.
You can't go backwards, baby.
You gotta let's play the game.
No.
Raising a kid's like Mario Brothers, baby.
No going backwards. You gotta... Straightforward raising kids like Mario Brothers, baby. No going backwards.
You got to.
Straightforward.
I don't know, man.
I might be like that Mario game on N64 where you can go all over the place.
No.
Yeah, you can't go backwards.
Don't tell me that, man.
I got tunnel vision.
Straightforward.
Eyes on the WNBA.
I just feel like any court in the land would say because of this, she does get her pacifier
back because you were unable to withhold your side of the bargain.
I got Ivan Carmel.
Shut the fuck up.
Ivan Carmel never gave a pacifier back, I'll tell you that.
Hell no, dude.
No, she doesn't get her pacifier back.
I put it too high up on the wall for her to get.
So if she gets that vertical up,
she can get it back.
You kept it, though?
No, I still have one.
Yeah, I wouldn't throw them both away.
I have one just for me.
Well, he still uses his pacifier.
Yeah, I go to raves.
I go to raves, and you don't want to chew your teeth off.
So I put the pacifier in there.
I don't want to grind them down to gums.
Basically, what it means is you pick fourth in the first round,
you pick first in the second round,
and Sean's not a bad father.
Babies lose things.
I lost it, I think.
I lost it on the security card when he couldn't find
it. I beat his fucking ass.
It was a bloody pulp.
This isn't quickly replaceable via Amazon?
This was a hard to find?
It'll get replaced. It's more of a self...
It's a self thing. I'm just like, you lost... I don't know.
It just cut me so deep, and I'm like,
this doesn't matter. What happens when she gets bullied or something i don't know it's it's a whole anyway
you should get some turquoise jewelry instead dude some fighting lessons yeah there's paekwon
do lessons and some turquoise jewelry send her to nobody nobody ever bullied somebody a child
enrolled in those two things should i get her nobody ever saw those two behaviors exhibited
and was like i'm gonna leave that person alone the second the second the tough kids found out
you were in taekwondo it was it was on they were just like oh you're a black but i remember
all the tough kids finding out individually and then just taking their taking their bite and i'm
like yeah well you also had your name on your jacket.
In cursive with a tiger on the back. Mr. Sean.
Mr. Sean, yeah.
Mr. Sean.
This is like a satin,
this is a Gosling and Drive kind of jacket.
It was a coach.
Yeah, almost.
It was like a coach's jacket
in between that and a coach's jacket,
if that's making any sense.
And it had Mr. Sean stitched in cursive
over the left breast.
And then on the back,
on the back was a giant open mouth growling tiger.
And it said Sioux Falls Black Belt School.
And I wore that to elementary school every day.
And yeah, it was like,
what are these kids bullying me for?
How could you not wear that?
Yes, two things are true right now.
A, I can see how everybody who was prone to beating asses
wanted to beat your ass because of it and the other thing is that sounds sick yeah it does
sound right yeah yeah as a grown man you know what's wild they had to know they were giving
these to kids sending them out into the wilderness that's the first lesson here's what okay here's
what i haven't thought about until honestly just now i was i was in there with plenty of adults this was a taekwondo school wide thing so everyone had these jackets so like there were 40 year olds
that had those you know mr jason mr rick yeah but you think they were wearing them to work at the
plant i do i do i think they were wearing i really do processing isn't that the big business of
sioux falls meat processing morels baby yeah the big business in Sioux Falls? Meat processing? Morales, baby.
Yeah. The meat processing plant. God, dude. Cause that would bring out those terrible adult bullies.
Like the guys who are just like that forever. Yeah. Those are bad guys. I still know there's,
I've told this before. There's still a couple who want to kill me in Sioux Falls. And one of them I
see sometimes, and he's still forever will scare him. He's terrifying.
And even now that I like, I don't even know,
I might even be able to handle him now.
Maybe, if maybe, that might be a stretch,
but he's still just so scary.
He'll just, he looks terrifying, dead-eyed.
Do you think it's because you knew him as a kid?
Like if we met him, would we be like, oh, that guy's really scary?
Or we'd be like, well well who's that dead eyed
guy he's huge so I
think you would be he I think
you'd be a little I think you'd keep your
head up if you were around him yeah
what's his name you should say his name
no no man
absolutely
not that's how scared I am no way
wow even if it kind of got back to
him
I'll say this he's the one
that made me try to kiss his shoe one time and i said no and he's like good i was gonna kick your
teeth out this is what he said to my 11 year old or no 12 year old face he said that well let's be
honest he probably had it pretty bad at home yeah i don't think it was a good thing yeah no i you
learned that from somewhere right you ever meet a bully who didn't have it bad at home, though?
Yeah.
And you're like, this kid is just a psycho.
I was one of those.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Always has good treats.
I was.
I was a dick for no reason.
I had a great home life.
Dressed really well.
Parents love him.
Yeah.
He just wants to get the shit out of you.
You came from a broken home. I mean, barely. There were ones where we didn't came from a broken home they were there were ones
like didn't come from a broken home yeah i remember this you know this is dark you're not
no shit on your mother your mother's wonderful but like there were people who had like two
stable parents and all sorts of fruit snacks at home and we're still out there pushing people's
faces in the mud let me throw this at you i know plenty of people with like two quote unquote like
a quote home life who i'm like whoa that was way more messed up than my single mom life for sure their parents were i mean one
of my buddy's dads kicked their dog down the stairs and i and from the outside looking in
you're like whoa what a cookie cutter family they're rich and like and you hear that shit
and you're like man all right i'm fine growing up in apartments. What was the dog saying? What was the dog saying?
Like what?
It was just over which lethal weapon they wanted to watch.
Tell me the 15 minutes leading up to it.
Not just the moment it happened.
Tell a story, you know?
Yeah, what was the dog wearing?
Basically, if you pick first and the...
Right? If you pick last and the second.
I don't want to do it. You do it.
You do it, Spacey.
What are you doing?
Whoa, not Spacey.
You're not Spacey.
Basically, if you pick last in the first round, you pick first in the second round.
That's right.
Yeah, I know.
With that in mind, what would the order be, David?
Okay, I'm going to say Andy first.
Oh, no.
Me second.
Sean third.
Ian fourth.
Back on the hot corner it's always tough
when the smartest one
goes first
I always feel like
it's great when the smartest one
no he's gotta set the tone
we need
we need a leader here
absolutely
which means Andy
you have the first pick
in the
space shit
aka outer space
depending on where
you're listening to this
draft
and we will get to that
first pick right after
this very short break.
This episode of all fantasy. Everything is brought to you by policy genius,
policy genius. I'm going to hit you. We're going to talk about some life insurance stuff real
quick. Now, 40% of people with life insurance wish they'd gotten their policy at a younger age.

Policy genius. Essentially it just helps you get the life insurance you need fast. So you can get you do. I wish I'd done everything at a younger age. That's neither here nor there. Policy Genius,
essentially, it just helps you get the life insurance you need fast so you can get on with your life. With Policy Genius, you can find life insurance policies that start at just $292
per year for $1 million of coverage. Some options offer same-day approval and avoid unnecessary
medical exams. So I have life insurance.
It had nothing to do with me.
It's my wife did everything.
But it's tough.
It's a hassle to go through and get.
You have to research it, which I don't like researching anything.
If I buy something, I just go into the person that works at the store and say,
what is right in the middle?
What's not the best?
What's not the worst?
And that is how I do it.
With life insurance, obviously, you want to be a little bit more careful about that. But how do I
know where to start? You know what I mean? I have no idea what to do, where to look. Nobody does.
And that's what Policy Genius does. They just go in, they find and compare all the best quotes

shaking the hands, kissing the babies.
They're doing it all for you. And if you don't have life insurance,
I know it sucks to talk about or to think about, but you're just going to stick people with the
bill. You're going to stick your loved ones with the bill. Don't nobody want to do that.
You know what I mean? Get covered. I don't want anyone inheriting my debt. And then they see what
I spent money on. Probably. I don't need all that nonsense in my life. Get it covered.

Welcome back to all fantasy everything already in progress we're about to get to the first pick in the outer space draft andy wood is here
hello hello he's making that pick andy okay this one is uh ripped from the headlines and it's also
ripping my heart asunder i'm gonna go aurora borealis or australis northern or southern lights aurora
auroras whatever the plural of that is david borealis yeah silent g on that one too
uh so yeah friday night i don't know if you guys caught it but i live in joshua tree which is uh
nowhere near the northern part of the country i have never seen the northern lights in my life
i even knew this solar storm which was going to cause the northern lights had happened i know
look at that oh you got a picture it's right right outside my house baby
damn you didn't even have to go.
I'm so jealous.
So I missed it.
I was doing a thing that didn't get out until 10 o'clock,
and I was like, well, okay, I missed it,
but I had this obligation.
So it's not, oh, well, what can you do?
Then I went home, and then I proceeded to play Dr. Mario
with my buddy who was visiting.
Andy!
While I could have just stepped outside
because it turned out 11 o'clock
to one o'clock is when it kicked off. We played Dr. Mario for two hours, then went outside at
one o'clock just, just to go outside. Not because, and there was nothing going on. And I, then I saw
the pictures the next day. And this felt like, did you guys have read that book all summer in a day?
I think it's a Ray Bradbury short story that made you read in like sixth grade about this planet
where the sun only comes out for one hour every seven years.
And so that hour is coming and the bullies lock this girl up in a closet in the school while they all go outside and see the sun.
And she misses the one hour of sun every seven years.
I don't want to read that.
Oh, my God.
That's worse than the bully stories I just told.
And I'm not kidding.
I am so mad.
And I'm not kidding.
Like I get chill.
Like I am so mad.
I will regret for the rest of my life missing that.
I could have seen the Northern lights from my house in Joshua tree. That will never again happen in my life.
Maybe it will another 20 or 30 years with a freak solar storm.
But,
um,
it's the pictures are making me so jealous.
And my,
my girlfriend's trying to tell me like,
so,
you know,
people were saying you had to do like 30 second exposures to get,
it didn't look that good.
You did.
I will say that I,
I did like i
looked up and it looked like pink there would look like there was a gas leak at a chemical plant in
with kind of like in the distance i'd you couldn't see the green clouds right yeah you kind of
couldn't see the green you could tell it was dope you just couldn't see the green so you're you're
all right no i'm i'm i really would have been excited also because i grew up in michigan and
we would
vacation in Ontario a lot, which is far enough north that sometimes you would get that.
And I never saw it.
And lots of mornings, my brothers and I would wake up and my dad would say, oh yeah, I was
out on the porch last night looking at the stars.
And yeah, Southern Northern Lights just didn't want to like wake you guys up.
And to this day, we don't know if that was a bit and he'd never saw them or if he really
was being a dick.
If it's a bit, it's extra funny because it's a bit for no one but himself it wasn't like right
my dad had this joke between them it's just my dad doing it and then never dads do that there
was a my dad used to we used to go fishing all the time and anytime we would drive i think it
was on right up a highway 30 he would point to this clutch of trees and he'd be like you know
that's lake ian in there right in there that's like ian and we would drive by from the from the earliest time
i had memory up until i was about 16 two or three times a year we'd drive by and he'd be like that's
like ian and then we were driving by with my friend in the car and i was like there's a lake
in there called like ian and my dad was like, there's no, there's no Ian.
That's so Sean,
are you going to get on the,
on board this?
Yeah.
You got to find a way.
Jokes for only you.
Like I've been doing,
I mean,
I've been doing poop,
like she'll wake up and I'm like,
what do you want?
You want,
what do you want?
Poop for breakfast?
She'll just be like,
no.
And Laura's like,
she's going to be the kid that makes poop jokes way too early. And people are going to of her and i'm like i don't know what to tell you i'm coming from a person
who devoted his life to stand-up comedy is there a way too early no no she said she's gonna be the
funniest kid in school is all i'm hearing yeah yeah she's gonna be awesome such advanced poop
jokes for her age it's gonna be wild you're gonna have to get a jacket that says mr max
i uh can we go to the
dr mario thing andy are you a good dr mario player i'm pretty i surprised my friend who is 15 years
younger than i because before that we were playing whatever the new star wars re report that just
came out battleground or something okay uh yeah so kind of like you know not exactly first person
shooter but something like that and the controls are just a little skatey i just looked like an old man playing against him and
then suddenly uh he says well look they got all these other games from every other platform
on whatever console he had a switch um i'm like well can we fire up some dr mario and he was
shocked at at my dominance i was like yeah you got to respect that i'm really good at mario's
why i bring it up yeah i'd love. I'd love to play you sometime.
Yeah, I'd love to see the team.
Sean is Sean.
Now I'm the best Dr. Mario player you've ever talked to.
I'll tell you that.
I'm not going to say that I'm full confidence.
You consider you were the best in the world at one point.
I really so I wrote I broke the record.
It just wasn't documented.
So you're going to have to take my word for that.
But I went to the Twin Galaxies website
and then I emailed them and I was like,
how do you get this record?
At the time, it needed to be one VHS
tape and you could only take
the most 30 second breaks and you had to leave it
playing the whole time. And the one time
I beat it, it took me like six hours. So I was like,
I don't want to do it again. So tech, I did
score higher than the documented
high score, but I never recorded it.
So,
and you got to buy an American flag tie.
Obviously.
I'm going like you're a legend.
You're like that guy.
They say better than Jordan who didn't get that break.
Yeah.
You're Earl Manigault.
I have really his name.
Good job.
I have loose plans on going to the world championships
in Cleveland
in Columbus in November
I'm like looking at it so
anyway how often
I know not to totally tangent it
but like are you keeping up the chops
are you playing often there's a retro gaming
bar in Portland that has the old school Dr.
Murray with the old controllers so
when I want to start getting back to my fight and wait I'll go there and practice which retro gaming bar in Portland that has the old school Dr. Murray with the old controllers. So when I want to start getting back to my fight and wait,
I'll go there and practice.
Which retro gaming bar?
It's up on MLK.
It's just called the retro gaming bar.
I think it's on retro gaming bar.
Okay.
It's on MLK.
There's,
Oh,
I just didn't want to say the name.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You want to do a retro gaming bar?
Andy would,
I thought you were like not bringing up ground control and you're like,
Oh,
you wouldn't know that.
There's a donut shop by.
I kind of got some ice cream over there.
Never heard.
Yeah, man.
I woke up Laura to go see the Northern Lights.
When are they?
So I had to Google this.
I'm not going to pretend that I know things like that off the top of my head.
But why does that?
Yeah.
So then it causes uh you know stream
of of particles because i was like how do we know intuitively you would think like whatever that is
it travels at the speed of light so by the time we know about it it's hitting us but we knew like
two days before it was going to hit us so we saw these things happening on the sun
we as if i was looking through a sun telescope uh but but yeah so it sends um particles uh believe
chachi pati was telling me electrons and protons and then those uh charged particles are like
captured by earth's magnetic field and that's why they're sort of gathering at the north and
southern poles and then i think it's kind of similar to how neon lights and fluorescent lights work, where the gas gets excited and the electrons jump up to a higher energy level.
And as they drop back down again in that process, they emit light.
And it's the same with neon lights and argon lights.
All these different kinds of lamps have different colors depending on which gas it is.
The different colors you see are from the different like nitrogen and oxygen which make up air they they emit different colors of light when this
happens and also depending on the actual like altitude it's a different i guess like the greens
are lower altitude oxygen the reds are higher higher right i was gonna say that yeah
but again i had to chat GPT this
I'm not saying I knew this off the top of my head
you did a great job of explaining that
the southern lights I heard you say
southern too are there southern lights or am I an asshole
Aurora Australis yeah
it happens at both of the poles so my friend
actually proposed to his girlfriend under the
southern lights he was down in Australia like
that's the best proposal story
and the best proposal pictures of all time yeah well and so you said you'll never see him
you just go to alaska and see him right they happen up there all the time right it's different
the fact that the fact that it was at this this far south that i could see that is my house it's
that might never happen again and i'm legitimately i'm not just saying this to be funny on a podcast because it's not that funny.
It's sad.
Like I'm bummed about it.
I'm still getting over
the fact that I was just
playing Dr. Mario.
We could have walked 10 feet
and been like,
well, that's a once in a lifetime thing.
That is crazy.
I can't make you feel better about that.
You blew it.
I don't know what to tell you.
They say that the last one was 2003
that we had like a solar storm
like that, right?
So maybe another 20
years yeah who knows who knows where we are in 20 years man like yeah let's not get on that you're
gonna be in a bigger house more of the desert is all gonna happen in a more joshua part of the
tree you might have a couple more guitars on the wall i see big things you won't be fighting for
water yeah no no no no no no the water wars will be over by then we will find new water good guys one yeah
uh david time for your first pick uh come on hit me baby i'm taking i've said it on this podcast
and it's always a point of contention between me and ian i'm taking the vastness of space yeah
the literal the size of it that it's always expanding i talk about it a lot
i do find it comforting i think that if we're amidst this thing that is so big and ever expanding
yeah it doesn't really matter that much if i shit my pants and madison was gone you know what i'm
saying i take that to feel like were you saying that out loud when you're walking down the street
I take that to feel like... Were you saying that out loud when you were walking down the street?
Yeah, I was like, well, you know, space never stops.
The place I shit my pants is different than where I shit my pants now
because the solar system is flying through space.
But I just like the idea of a cognitive machine, man.
It's just like the vastness of it, the size of it, to me is like...
I'm like thank god thank thank god whatever the
size of the world that i've created that i live in is not what it is you know what i mean it's
like i really really appreciate it i've made my feelings on the terror very well i can't go my
vision i'm like i got blurry vision right now can, I can feel myself turtling up.
It's,
I love that.
It's so big.
It's,
it's so big.
You relax.
It's huge.
That's how I feel.
If you try to make yourself feel the,
like,
I can still conjure the feeling that I had when I was younger,
when I would think about how big it is,
which is like a coldness starts to grow in your chest.
When you actually conceive of just how like what does it
mean to be infinitely big or is it even infinitely big maybe there is a limit what is that what's
what's at the edge of the limit of our understanding because no you just you can't so that's why i start
to freeze i get the blue screen or whatever it's the same feeling i get when like you see a picture
of like someone in the water and there's a whale in there with them, you know what I mean? Oh, yes.
That is such a good way to put it.
I know that feeling.
I feel that when you meditate,
you're supposed to start with the warm ball in your chest.
And then that's how I feel.
I feel the opposite.
It's warm, not cold.
I wish you could just teach that to me.
I feel like it would help on the daily.
I don't know if it's a
gift or anything yeah i think it's probably neutral somewhere but yeah i love it almost
like a nihilism like a healthy nihilism or something when you just give yourself over
to it you're like well i think that's a lot and i think that's a lot more where i think that's a
lot more where it lies if we're gonna be honest be honest. But that being said, yeah, I do.
Because I was thinking about it.
You always talk about that sleepover.
I had a sleepover that's one time with a guy.
I can say his name.
He would like me to tell this story.
Sam Talent was there.
It was me, Sam Talent, and Clay DeHaan.
Elizabeth Colorado's biggest tight end ever, right?
Wasn't that guy like a star tight end,
big tight end catching the ball a lot.
I don't even know what you're saying.
He tried to,
he told us.
Oh yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Oh my God.
Yeah.
He told us on here.
We were like,
what?
Yeah.
He was catching the ball a lot when we were playing.
I mean, he does. He has good hands, but not in a game.
That's not the point.
We were all having a sleepover one night, and it was like ninth grade,
and we were talking about God.
And our friend Clay DeHaan was like, God's not real.
And we were like, okay, Clay.
And he was like, yeah, right, dude.
That guy's not real. And we were like, what? And he was like, if he dude that guy's not real and we were like what and
he was like he was like if he's real why doesn't he show himself to me and we were like clay and
he was like come out you coward and he just denounced god was this thomas aquinas at this
no it was dude it was it was one of the craziest things i've ever seen and then we were like clay you gotta relax and he
was like it's his move and uh like lieutenant i didn't get upset i just went to sleep like i
guess that's something i don't have to worry about yeah like you know what i mean like he
did all this blasphemy and nothing happened and i was just like oh okay i was a little junior
check one less box yeah but that's how i feel about the space thing like all right not my thing
did you grow up pretty well did you like was god a certainty for you uh it it was a very because
my grandpa was a pastor right like but he turned late in life, it was, I would say that I was grown up as it was a certainty, but it also
wasn't questioned very much. So there wasn't like a lot of like pushback. And then when I did get
to a point where I had pushback, it was, I was sort of able to be like, oh, I don't, this is not
for me. Yeah. But I but i i i grew up with
a respect for religion and what it can do for people and all the good that it can do and stuff
like that because we like you know my mom started a non-profit for sierra leone that was christian
so we would go to churches and talk and take formations and shit like that so i always like
had a fondness for like religion but no i never had like i never really
right i wasn't i wasn't like god has to be real and then clay to han called it out and i was like
huh it's like the space thing where it's just like oh okay maybe that's something i don't have
to worry about i i can't do anything about that i know where you're going because i and that's the
only way i can calm myself down is like wow just stop you can't figure it out every time not like
i try but when i when i when the gears get turning i just remind myself like you know but also like in a jam when something
feels really big to me also is like comforting to be like well this shit's whatever man right right
ultimately it's a blip on everything all of it is a blip on everything that doesn't make me feel bad
it just makes me be like okay i should probably just enjoy all this right but then you don't
like pay taxes and stuff it's like yeah yeah that's a bummer that's that's the bummer about
it it's like uh i wish that i could live in that where i'm like yeah complete like nile you know
what i mean i wish i could live in, like, the universe is expanding. I'm not paying my taxes.
I mean, you know, I think I've not paid taxes more than most.
As far as, like, having a pretty big stretch of not letting that.
Yeah, I think I got pretty lucky.
All the societal type stuff, I've had a...
I didn't have legal ID forever.
Like, I've been able to...
I've only been on two leases in my entire life.
One of them is a mortgage.
Whoa.
It's insane.
Wow.
That was a really real.
It's insane.
Well, let's hear about your next pick.
Maybe that'll be insane too.
Sean black holes, bro.
Nice all day.
I mean, they're real, real right it's confirmed or they
just are they fine they're real so it's a real it's a real thing that we we have no idea what
we just know light can't escape but we have no idea what happens when you go in because there's
no way to document that right yeah we've never have we ever successfully sent anything into a
black hole like a satellite or anything? No.
Light can't even escape them.
But I mean, like going in.
We just sent something in.
Like something in, so like Twister style, like we can document it up until it gets destroyed.
You know, like it'll have live info coming at us until we can't.
We've never done that.
The farthest away thing that is man-made is either Voy voyager one or two that we sent you know in like
the late 70s and that thing is still probably only god now i'm just gonna make up a number i
don't know if it's billions or trillions of miles but like it's still nowhere even near
the next star besides our sun you know it would be let alone a black like yeah we would
do you think the voyager ran out of smokes by now i
imagine in the 70s voyager was smoking just like all the scientists that made it is this like a
bad dad like it's not coming back there's no bowling alleys out here
playing nine ball freaking wearing a looney tunes leather jacket like yeah i'm out here i'm out here i
don't need her i don't need anyone in life i just need my cute yeah that's fortified wine out of a
leather jacket so the the closest black hole is if i'm hearing is like billions of i mean right
between your legs bro not even a lot of stuff gets out of there i'll tell you what yeah
uh well i mean I think there's...
I forgot if this is a theory, hypothesis,
or a thing people agree that maybe the middle of the Milky Way has one
and that accounts for all the gravity that keeps the galaxy together.
But even that would be so far...
I think there are theories that there might be other ones in our galaxy.
But the scale, even within this galaxy,
the closest star to us after the sun is no centauri 907 or something
alpha centauri i think is about four light years so like if you were going the speed of light it
would take four years and um you know voyager is going voyager is going probably a thousandth of
the speed of light so you know like four thousand years or something to get yeah so and and i'm
sorry like there's no way there's a black hole anywhere
near that distance i love i love that real quick you just go and i'm sorry but there's just no way
i'm trying to be a dick here what i'm saying there's no way no i just it's the idea of it
like the idea that in my mind up here that's how we time travel i'm never not until someone says
that's not true i'm never not going to believe it so that's how we do it could something crazy could happen when you go in there like i don't understand
untie your belly button anything oh no like oh my god dimensional flying out like oh no that
makes me feel the way space makes me feel that's crazy to be like all right i'm just gonna untie
like why don't they just do surgery like that untie your belly button real quick stretch yeah
i don't know don't they do that sometimes for
don't they for some abdominal things don't they go in around the belly button i think if you owe
money to the wrong cartel they might do that i don't know if like to lower scarring right yeah
anyway black holes man just that you know we got the sound garden song out of it which is tight
and then a lot of you know a lot of fun theories theorized by albert
einstein first is that true he was the first what makes you what makes you think of that what what
made albert einstein be like oh there's a that's a this is a black hole like we couldn't how do
you get that idea i think actually it might have started with i think the way he came up with relativity
so you know what gravity does we don't gravity is super mysterious but like everything that has mass
exerts you know i just got that feeling again i've never got it thinking about gravity and you
just gave it to me somehow you just said i was like wait gravity in my in my mind i'm like there's
a big magnet in the in the world holding this all down here what are you talking about can we name the feeling the great
how come oh yeah yeah how come no well why though but so so gravity warps the theory is that it
actually warps space-time like i don't have you seen someone do like analogy with a trampoline
that you put a bowling ball on and then you can like roll marbles at it it'll orbit that bowling ball like it just it warps space-time so the more mass you have the more it warps it and
the sun uh warps it enough that i think einstein observed that the orbit of mercury doesn't quite
make sense like it doesn't go kind of right it's not just the shape of it it's the fact that um
god i forgot how to phrase this, but the timing doesn't work unless
you accept that at that distance from the sun, space-time itself is stretched. So I think that
led to a lot of his other theories about relativity and black holes. Because yeah,
black hole is the ultimate of that. If something's massive enough, it sucks everything in
and not even light can escape.
And then I had a mind-blowing thing with,
I forgot what guest,
maybe Nodagast Tyson,
who was on our podcast.
I wrote a song about that.
Well, like,
because there's the event horizon,
which is if you're looking at in the distance
and you saw this black circle,
that line is the event horizon
where that's the line past
which nothing will ever escape.
Light won't escape.
So that has some actual size to it.
And then I asked some guests of ours, well, how big is, because, you know, it was a star
that got collapsed more and more and more.
So it is something that has tons of mass.
How big is the actual like nut in the middle of the black hole?
How big is the, is it like a boulder that is, you know, all the mass of a hundred suns
or something?
And then they're like, no, there's nothing.
There's the event horizon, but there's nothing in the middle.
It's just an infinite point.
It's zero size, infinite mass or infinite density, huge mass, infinite density, zero size.
It's dividing by zero.
It's the universe dividing by zero.
It just throws everything.
It makes no sense.
And you talk about this every week and you're as normal looking as you are i wouldn't man this is this is killing me yeah
black no you're picking good black holes well yeah for me i'm like yeah but i could like go
back and like ask that girl out or whatever so yeah maybe you don't know what happens yeah
i'm gonna find out maybe you're a good skateboarder inside a black hole got you
damn he did i don't know what to say let's go let's keep it pushing your ass yeah let's hear
your story i'll stop slowing us down yeah let's hear your stupid exactly that is exactly the
point of this podcast yeah to go slow my i'm taking my first pick this is a this is some putting respect on something
first pick
I'm taking it this early for a reason
not maybe because I think it's going to go
but because I want some respect on this pick
I'm taking Pluto
we still love you
is Pluto the one that doesn't count anymore?
I don't know why I said ah maybe because it's small
it's a dwarf planet yeah
it's tiny
it was the ninth planet and then it wasn't the ninth planet I said, ah, maybe because it's small. It's a dwarf planet. Yeah. It's tiny.
It was the ninth planet and then it wasn't the ninth planet
and then it is the ninth planet again
and then it wasn't. So where are we
on Pluto currently?
I think it can't be because
of size and erraticness
of its orbit.
I think is the reason. It turned out
to be smaller than we thought once we sent that probe there 10 years ago.
I have to say, you say the erraticness.
It's not like zigging and zagging.
I mean, it's got a fluid.
Does it move?
Can you explain that a little bit, what you mean?
I think its orbit, I think almost all orbits are,
I don't think any orbit's a perfect circle.
I think they're mostly ellipses or all ellipses,
so kind of ovals. But i think its orbit is so irregular that maybe at times
it's even closer to the sun than neptune or something i is that what you're finding i'm
yeah interesting um why pluto it's elliptical and tilted. Oh, okay.
Sideways oval, bro.
Like those cool hats.
It's a 248-year oval-shaped orbit.
So it can take it as far as... It's a year as 248.
Yeah, it's a 248-year year.
And it can take it as far as 49.3 AUs from the sun,
and it's close to 30.
30?
What?
That number meant something, Andy.
Well, I'm just saying
it can be eight times
as far away from the sun as
the difference between
you said 239 and 30?
49 and 30.
Oh, they said 249 and 30.
Okay, 49.3 and 30.
Andy reacted to that the way that I would react
if I got like six extra nuggets in,
like if I ordered, I was like, whoa, are you kidding me?
But still, it's like if the orbit is sometimes 100 feet
and sometimes 200 feet away, it's a pretty wild,
and AU is just the distance between,
average distance between the Earth and the sun,
which is a good, useful like.
So Pluto's not a planet now?
It is. I think it's not.
It's not considered. I think we have eight planets in Pluto.
It has moons.
It has its own moons. It has five moons.
How are you not a planet? You got moons, dude.
I'm saying there's plenty of non-planets
that have moons, dude. You can get moons.
I can get you a moon. Do any of the moons have
a blue moon? That's a question.
Ooh, moons are blue. Probably for Andy.
A meta moon?
So, yes.
I don't think so, but I think there are some moons that are close-ish in size to Earth.
There are definitely moons that are bigger than Pluto.
I think some of Jupiter's or Saturn's moons.
Yeah.
Maybe Titan or Io or something could be.
I'm not sure none of the
moons have their own moons but yeah i think like jupiter i'll go and do this with my next pick i'm
taking jupiter i'm taking the smallest non-planet and i'm taking the biggest planet okay the loud
i get it
i'm going i'm taking the planet that girls go to to get more stupider.
Sure.
A planet so big that the other seven planets in the solar system could fit inside of it and still leave 30% of the planet unoccupied.
Yeah, dude.
I mean, can you imagine if it was impossible to go around your whole planet
like if you wanted to you could visit everywhere pretty much everywhere on earth like you could go
to every region or whatever but like jupiter no way bro you can't you couldn't be able to do it
and you can't even set foot on it it's just gas it's gas and it has a storm on it
yeah that storm i was gonna gas storm it is jupiter's 308 times bigger than earth
jesus 308 times it's massive yeah and it is it so when you say a gas planet is the gas ever
compacted enough inside of it yeah is there like a surface to set on there's no surface to yeah
i've i've definitely like looked this up um i i don't think weird things happen as you go deeper
into it but i don't think it's ever like now we're finally on the you know there there's no nugget in
the middle or something yeah but i forgot exactly what the composition is and what we think would happen
if you sort of like quote unquote landed on jupiter descended through all that it would be
a mess it wouldn't it wouldn't go well take a minute to get through it you probably die a
natural death before you got through it so yeah just to say it has 95 moons but also isn't that
number like changing by the any of them like? Are those all solids or those all gaseous too?
I think those are rock.
Some of those are rocky.
Yeah.
Some of them are rocky, it says.
Can I be a scientist?
Are the solids or the gaseous?
You're doing it, Sean.
There are 95.
I'm reading just now off of Wikipedia. There are 95 moons in Jupiter with confirmed orbits as of February 5th, 2024.
And that number does not include
a number of meter-sized moonlets
thought to be shed from the inner moons,
nor hundreds of possible kilometer-sized
outer irregular moons
that were only briefly captured by telescopes.
That's crazy.
Have you guys looked through a decent telescope at Jupiter?
Okay, Andy, let me ask you
if you think this is real or not.
I was outside of UCB Franklin one time
and there's this dude who had a
telescope and he's like, come here, bro.
Write it Saturn, this thing's aimed. I'm not
going to describe Saturn at all for fear of naming
pics. But he goes, this thing's
right aimed at Saturn. Come check it out. I looked
and I saw what appears to be Saturn.
Yeah, I looked and then he robbed me.
I looked down and I saw what I thought was Saturn.
And then I went into UCB and everyone's like, oh, that guy's always out there.
And they tried to tell me it was a sticker of Saturn that he put on the end of the telescope.
This is so I have done.
You've probably seen the guy.
All of you probably have.
What I'm going to say is.
I'm not looking into foreign scopes on the street i feel i filled in as a stargazing guide at a corporate event for skywatcher the company that's that's giving
lending their expertise in telescopes to our 229 and beyond event and um it was a night when the
jupiter and saturn were both visible and they said here's what people are going to ask you
they're going to ask you two things how much does the telescope cost and is that a sticker when they see saturn
they're gonna say is that a sticker on the end of the telescope and sure enough everyone asks that
because it looks so people can't believe you're seeing these rings it just looks too good to be
true you probably did it was it was insane it did look who told you who told you it was a sticker on
the end of a telescope all the drunk stone comedians that were in UCB.
I don't know why I would have believed them,
but, you know, because it does seem crazy.
It seems like that, though,
because it looks too good to be true
through a good telescope.
Also, Franklin Village is a nice enough place
where some person with a house
might have just a $2,000 telescope
sitting on the street.
Who knows?
I don't know.
Yeah.
How much do you have to start spending on a telescope
before you get one that can give you the sticker
that's a telescope? And I want that can give you the stickers and telescope?
And I want to get into the telescope game at some point.
I think I do.
I really think I do.
I haven't.
I've been thinking about it.
And I'm like, do I want to have one that I don't care if someone messes with?
You know, do I have once?
I'm not a big fan of spending money on things where you then going to have a stressor in your life because now I've got an expensive piece of equipment that I have to think about.
life because now i've got an expensive piece of equipment that i have to think about but i think yeah if you spend like three grand you can get something really nice that will like track as the
earth rotates you know it'll slowly move so it stays locked on whatever you're looking at and
once you calibrate it you can just type into a keypad uh okay go to um arcturus and it'll go
uh so that's like i I think 3000 to 5000,
but I think for,
you know,
500 to 1000,
you can get something that you,
it will,
Saturn and Jupiter will look cool through it,
but like,
it's just going to be,
you have to manually line it up,
which is pretty hard sometimes.
And then it'll be in the viewfinder for like 30 seconds.
Then the rotation of the earth will have it out.
So you got to just keep moving it.
So,
so like if I get a 150 telescope
at fries that's not what is that just like a big set of binoculars well 150 telescope plus however
much a saturn sticker costs and then all the tip money i make standing on standing on hollywood
boulevard like you guys want to see some real stars and then i just that's that what he said
to you no god i would have tipped him then.
But he was asking for tip money.
That's another thing where I'm like, huh?
Because who's got that dope of a telescope
but wants his busking or whatever?
The telescope was three grand.
He's got to get that back.
Yeah, you got to make that back.
I don't think you'd buy a telescope
planning to recoup your expenses from passersby
trying to look at a sticker.
I mean, you wouldn't.
It's called business mind.
I don't have any vision.
You're right.
You're right.
I like that.
Galamid
is the biggest moon
of Jupiter.
Is it bigger than Earth? How big is it?
It is not
Jupiter.
Andy was on Jupiter for a while.
Jerpeter.
He won like six of them.
How many did you win?
One for lost two.
So bad.
Ganymede is 2.4 times smaller than Earth.
Oh.
But larger than Mercury.
So bigger than a planet.
Shattered to Jupiter, dude. So I get all Jupiter's moons too. So, you know, don't fuck with my team So bigger than a planet. That is a Jupiter, dude.
So I get all Jupiter's moons, too.
So, you know, don't fuck with my team.
Sean, time for your second pick.
Well, it's going to get sucked into your black hole.
You don't have to believe me.
I was going to pick...
Tell me if I can't do this, I can't.
Because I know what you just picked.
I was going to specifically pick the storm on Jupiter.
Now, if you pick Jupiter, do you get the...
You don't get the fucking storm, brother. What the hell are you talking about? Can we talk pick the storm on jupiter now if you pick jupiter do you get you don't get the fucking storm what the hell we didn't then can we talk about the storm
just a little bit because it's i would love to talk about this it's 10 000 miles big so you can
fit uh earth in the storm which if you look because i was just looking it up last night and
that has always been like one of the most fascinating things to me is that it's just
been going on forever and it can't they just they just don't know what it's just a crazy violent storm all the
time and it doesn't move right it's kind of like your feud with the blood it's like i'm down there
rapping dude it's like i've been on jupiter rapping for oh so my album came out on spotify
yesterday and they put it on the wrong sean jordan Did I show you guys a picture of the Sean Jordan? They, they gave it to no,
he,
he,
I was listening to the songs.
He brings up entourage in within 15 seconds of his first song.
So everyone wouldn't believe that.
It's actually,
he makes music about entourage.
This dude,
that guy,
that's where girl dead.
Hell yeah.
Like Spotify gave it to the wrong
rapper, baby.
In that picture I saw, I can't make
out the face. When you're looking at your phone, can you see the face
of that Sean Jordan or is it as dark as it looks?
You can. Yes.
That'd be funny if it was just
dark in his face so it could be any
Sean Jordan. No, it definitely ain't me.
Anyway,
the storm on Jupiter, man. It's just...
Wait. Is it the
Sean... I'm sorry.
I looked it up now. I have to ask you.
Is it the rapper Sean Jordan
better known by his stage name Word
Burglar? No, that's a Canadian alternative
hip-hop artist from Halifax,
Nova Scotia? I've had people ask me.
A Nova Scotian rapper
named Word Burglar?
I look more like that dude than I do this Sean Jordan,
the guy whose first song is called IG featuring Ivan.
Ivan Rommel?
I couldn't see you a different reality where you show up on stage in a backpack
with a beanie on called the Word Burglar.
The Word Burglar.
And you kind of stalk around?
The people that have asked me that,
I'm like, you're not out of line at all
for thinking that I could try that.
Anyway, that storm is just...
Yeah, but also word burglar is like the nickname you got from the bullies who were giving you a swirly.
Hey, Mr. Sean, get over here, Mr. Sean, the word burglar.
SJ the word burglar?
Dude, he has a Wikipedia page, a pretty big one.
And I do not.
So good job. job good job the other
sean he's based in toronto should we get him on the toronto whoa oh my god that would be that would
be intense that would be crazy i mean it's with what music out in 2022 burgan reaching out
burganometry what'd you say burganomic bergenomic reaching out he had an album in 2019
called space verse and i'm also a rapper so this is lining up too much it is so okay i just wanted
to touch on the storm specifically i figured i couldn't take it but and i you know obviously
that makes sense i just wanted to see if i could um so the great red spot, which like scientists have perceived like as far back as
1665 and they think it's the same one going now. Dang. Wind speeds up to 268 miles per hour.
Frankly, I would have thought faster than that because that can happen on earth. I would have
thought it'd be some kind of number you can't wrap your head around or something.
Right. Yeah. Like 6,000 mile an hour winds, something like that.
can't wrap your head around or something right yeah like 6 000 mile an hour winds something like that well that it's a little more comforting to be like okay so that'd be the one similarity i'm
like they're the buckest wind in that storm is like the crazy buckest wind we'd ever have here
ever so all right so there's something in common well i'll just how about i pick the rings of
saturn then i can do that we were just talking about it the rings of saturn and i didn't look this up on purpose for
uh the ancient craft of conversation to be better but it's just is it just little broken up
meteorites and stuff like and that that it's trapped in gravity or is it actually caramel
or what is it is it nougat it's caramel caramel okay you can eat it right you can eat the rings
of saturn definitely definitely i think that
there's a theory that it might have been like a moon that got torn apart by saturn's gravity i
think i think there's a couple theories i'm not sure it's a hundred percent settled i could be
wrong that sounds pretty fun the gravity that's a pretty cool that moon dated my wife and i can't
be having that i'm gonna make it in pieces orbit
me and his ectrophant yeah the could you fly there's another thing could you fly through that
or is it is it like dense i think it's not crazy crazy dense but i think it's surprisingly thin
considering how wide it is like i want to say that the ring disc is only like a mile wide or something.
I looked this up before I was doing that.
So I could run through it in eight minutes.
I've since forgotten.
You could do what?
I could run through it in eight minutes
is what you're telling me.
Sure.
Had I not ran any previous miles.
Yeah, I mean, if I noticed anything
from the rings outside of UCB,
it's that they are gorgeous.
It's pretty cool, yeah. Is there, okay, it's that they are gorgeous. And it's pretty cool.
Yeah.
Is there,
okay.
Here's another insane question.
Since we have a scientist on,
is there any chance that that could happen to earth in my lifetime?
That our moon could get torn apart and turn into rings?
That our moon could get crushed and turn into a ring.
So I can see it by the time Maxine's,
I want to give it to Maxine for a graduation present.
Sure.
Can I arrange it?
Can I arrange for that to happen?
Could Jeff Bezos arrange for it to happen?
I mean, you know, what's crazy about the Northern Lights the other day is like that was the cool side of the solar storm and the solar wind.
But like if that had been a little more severe, we also would have like our power grid would have been knocked out and it would have been like chaos.
So like crazy shit can happen. also would have like our power grid would have been knocked out and it would have been like chaos so like if you're gonna bring up can't happen crazy bring up the northern lights let's leave
it to those of us who went outside of our house and saw the northern lights too
no no it's not for me to talk about it's not for me to talk about
that was mean that was mean and i take it back with you in a vulnerable this is the real sean
that the listeners don't know about this is the bully
he was just talking about
Isaac cut that out
and put in the stuff
about me getting bullied
for wearing my
Mr. Sean jacket
she's screaming at Isaac now
Isaac
wake up
why'd you leave
your makeup on the table
while you guys were
is that the line
why'd you leave
your makeup on the table
yeah
is that what he says
why'd you leave your makeup on the table that's what what he says? Why'd you leave your makeup on the table?
That's what I've always taken it as
and I've never looked it up.
I've never even known what it was.
Why'd you leave your makeup on the table?
No, it's put on a little makeup.
What is that song? Who's that by?
It's System of a Down, Glendale's Finest, baby.
What are you talking about?
Wake up, grab a brush, put on a little makeup.
Whoa. I say a little makeup. Whoa.
Way off.
I say a little prayer for you.
Together.
While riding the bus, dear.
Self-righteous.
Yeah.
Anyway, that dude can wheel.
I've discussed the fade away the shake up.
Why do you leave the keys upon the table
okay here you go create another fable i'm mixing up all kinds of stuff in there yeah all right
there is makeup in there i just wouldn't have thought that's a line in that song it's funny
when you say it out loud you're like oh man i wish i could have not said that i wish i could
get one of those black holes and not say that out loud on this podcast but a lot of people listen to
then they just yell father a bunch.
Well, yeah.
That's the only thing that can get out of a black hole
is me yelling father.
Light can also not escape a system of a dance song.
Anyway, man, the rings on Saturn,
they're just dank.
What do you want from me?
There are some scientists who think
it's the result of two moons crashing into each other.
Okay.
So you know that.
It's like when me and the word bird were in Toronto.
Oh, they're going to get some rings.
Some rings are going to get exchanged.
Yeah.
It's mostly ice, right?
Mostly water ice.
Yeah, ice.
That's what I'm seeing.
Yeah.
They got them from Philly.
I can't stop today. It's water ice. Water ice. You're going Mostly water ice. Yeah, ice. They got them from Philly. I can't stop today.
It's water ice.
Water ice.
You're going to go to Wawa and check out them rings?
It's the one accent I just
cannot do it.
I don't know how to do it.
I know how to say like Hoogie over there, but
I can't string a sentence together
in that accent. It's so hard for me to do.
The Colombo Gap, which is one of the C-ring structures,
is named after Giuseppe Beppe Colombo.
Giuseppe Beppe Colombo.
His name is not Giuseppe Beppe.
You're doing a bit.
No, his name is Giuseppe Beppe Colombo.
Giuseppe Beppe.
What's the Beppe doing in there?
Beppe's short for Giuseppe.
It's a nickname for Giuseppe. It's a nickname for
Giuseppe. Oh, okay.
I thought you meant Giuseppe Bepi.
I thought it was his middle name or something.
I was like, what? I thought it was like a Dougie Doug
like Jon Bon Jovi or something.
I would have rather let you live in that fiction, but
I had to come clean. But yeah, Giuseppe
Bepi Colombo. It's like
Wilt the Stiltz.
The chamber.
The Clyde Rexley. The Cly stilts. The chamber. Yeah. The Clyde. The space.
The Clyde Rexley.
Clyde the Clyde, baby.
The rings of Saturn.
Yeah, the rings of Saturn.
Unfortunately.
Good choice.
Good choice.
Not made out of onions.
David, time for your second pick.
I'm taking FFPs.
I'm taking rogue planets.
Oh.
What?
Because that is just.
I'm sorry.
Go ahead.
No, no.
You go ahead.
I just. It. When I was looking it up, the idea that there are planets just floating through space, not like, because from what I understand, they get kind of kicked out of a solar system and then they free flow.
And a lot of times when they get to another solar system, they'll be accepted in and kind of start to orbit.
But sometimes they won't and they'll keep going and it just to me sounds less like science and more like mythology yeah right
like it sounds like the idea of like one of these stories that we made up to figure out while why
we're here as opposed to like like the planet did something wrong and now it's cursed to float
through space forever exiled planets yeah yeah yeah you know
what i mean it's like there's something kind of poetic about it to me and kind of romantic
it's just really cool i don't even know that was real yeah that's fascinating i don't know how how
would we i don't know why i'm asking i wonder how we detect them because i think in general they said
they said they first found them in 2000 i don't know you got to look it up too man i'm reading confirmed 5200 of them but they theorize
that billions exist so just sometimes it just gets a little erratic with the orbit and it's just like
i'm out of here there could be infinite numbers that's what i'm saying what we're talking about
this goddamn expanding universe again that calms david down so much but there could be
an infinite number of these rogue planets that wear jean jackets that go to other planet schools
all the time dude just just cruising just cruising through space and then they said that like uh
what was it where was it there was something where it's like, it's not likely, but it's not impossible that they could have life.
So the idea that there's like life on a rogue planet just float.
That's crazy.
Yeah.
That's crazy.
Also, that light.
They can't sustain.
How do they sustain life without a stable star?
Without the light coming from the.
Listen, dude.
This is all very light research guys let me see if i can find the page don't make me hold your hand for you yeah it's embarrassing for
you does anything go through space slowly you always hear about this fucking thing was flying
through does anything go through space at like two miles an hour just like really really going
calmly through space oh yeah it would life would need to
get its energy from internal sources on the planet if it was possible they say it can form like a
planet around a star and then be ejected or conform like a low mass star or a brown dwarf in isolation
it said a lot of them are low mass from what i saw it must be the intermittent fasting or something
enough dust enough space dust
is around that it starts to just coalesce with its own gravity but not enough that it starts to
do fusion like a star right or like yeah uh it answered your question about speed sean
the other thing in space speed is entirely like well uh compared to what like that's what i'm
saying if there's nothing around am i going fast or am i barely moving there's to what like that's what i'm saying if there's nothing around am i
going fast or am i barely moving there's i mean like that's the thing like speed velocity is sort
of a meaningless term except compared to something else like acceleration that's a real thing that
you know you can measure independent of anything else to compare it to but like velocity is entirely just
compared compared to what yeah so i'm sure you could find something that in relation to something
else is going two miles an hour if you want to make that your reference for what for what
movement is then sure i don't know why but i feel stupid now if i'm wrong there's something in me in
my chest where i'm like wait it's tight what tight. What's going on? Welcome to the Space Draft.
I've been here all day.
I hope you have listeners.
I know you have listeners who are more informed than all listeners.
No, no one listens.
Oh, no.
I'm sure there are going to be people who are like, it was a tough listen for me.
As a space buff, these guys are fucking idiots.
Well, it was a tough record for us, so rest assured, I'm there.
fucking idiots well it was a tough record for us so rest assured we had a good time but the whole time i do feel like uh i'm lost in my google maps doesn't work i'm really enjoying myself
these are great ones you're talking about feeling lost and you have uh you took rogue planets in the
vastness of space i feel like you're doing you're right on time yeah Yeah, dude. I mean, it's a very me pick.
Yeah.
I saw Rogue Planets in the vastness of space at a picket thon, by the way.
They were great.
They were drinking absinthe the whole time.
Yeah.
I had some mushroom tea, but like only a little bit.
They were beautiful, man.
They were great.
I think they're from Burlington, Vermont, too.
Yeah.
They've got a theremin player, if I recall correctly.
Yeah, they got a theremin for sure
but yeah rogue planets man i think it's just like something kind of beautiful about it
uh and it comes with your second and third picks as it is a serpentine draft
okay well i'm gonna do uh well these are sort of related so so I guess it doesn't matter which order. Beetlejuice.
Beetlejuice is a star in Orion.
It is a red supergiant, and you can see its redness with the naked eye.
And what is awesome about this is there's a small chance in our lifetime that this thing will go supernova.
chance in our lifetime um that this thing will go supernova so the i think i should check on this but i believe the thinking is it will happen in the next 100 000 years which seems like a long
window but like the universe has been around for 14 billion years and uh if we if we look at that
as a ratio of the age of the universe that's like oh it's happening in the next day uh so it's a certain day
yeah pretty much let me see uh but earth's only been around for 6 000 which is right
that's right uh yeah if beetlejuice goes supernova it will be like as bright as the
full moon i believe and we will see it during the day for like a month whoa and that could happen in our lifetime which like again what are the
chances if we're all alive even if we're alive on another hundred years that's a one in a thousand
chance but that one in a thousand is like much better than the usual lottery pick of like one in
a billion or something for something of note to happen so um yeah keep your eyes on on beetlejuice
up there in...
Just go outside.
...Orion's shoulder.
You're going to be playing Dr. Mario
during the whole three-month solar event.
You're going to be locked in on a tournament.
Can't see Beetlejuice.
I got this Dr. Mario tourney.
Someone's just like, no, Andy, it's going to happen.
You're like, so is me beating this record.
Those are two things that's going to happen.
I'm holding court.
A couple of blues coming down here.
Two more viruses to pop off of this thing, and then I clear the level.
That will happen.
Yeah.
Beetlejuice is giant.
If it was in the middle of our solar system, it would engulf the orbits of Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars.
It'd probably just cook us like Terminator 2, right?
We wouldn't be able to hang out too hard
if Betelgeuse was our star.
Radius 760 times that of our sun.
That's insane.
Yeah, so I think that's, yeah,
our sun, its life cycle is not going to ever include that
because it's not massive enough
to cause that supernova,
which brings me, if I may, to my next pick.
Supernovas in general, or supernovaee how do you do the plural of that i should know that um brother you don't
want to find out i'll tell you that all right uh these things went to supernova i think i think
most of those next players did go to crossover of it crossover at crossover event of the century right there keep going andy i'm sorry no
no no um so yeah the way the way most stars work is they are just uh big enough that their gravity
is pushing hydrogens together to form helium so hydrogen's the smallest element it's just one
proton it's one on the periodic table. If you have enough force
and you can push two of those together, you get a helium, which is two protons. But weirdly,
one helium weighs a tiny bit less than the two hydrogens that combine to make it. And that tiny
bit of mass that's lost when the two hydrogens are fused to become a helium, that's converted to energy.
And do you know the formula for that?
Einstein?
E equals MC squared?
E equals MC squared.
I said at birth, everyone heard me say it before, Sean.
Isaac, if you could switch our voices around so it looks like Ian is trailing me, please.
is trailing me please so that tiny bit of mass you multiply that by c which is the speed of light 3.0 times 10 to the 8th meters per second that squared so the tiniest bit of mass gets converted
to this insane amount of energy this is why everyone's trying to figure out fusion as a
power source here because it's it's clean and you get just a shit ton of energy for a tiny bit of mass loss.
So that's what's happening in most stars.
It's just two hydrogens fusing together to make a helium.
That's why we call it helium from the Greek god of the sun, Helios.
So all of that is what keeps all of us alive.
It keeps all that light coming here.
But then a big enough star, eventually it runs out.
You know, let's say theoretically everything that was hydrogens now
now it's all helium but it's still as massive as it was it still has as much gravity and it's
getting smaller so that more dense and more gravity just because of the denseness of whatever
so you get this chain reaction towards the end of a star's life then the heliums will start fusing
to form bigger and bigger things.
And also those bigger things are slightly less massive than the two things that made
it and giving off more energy.
And that keeps going all the way up until iron.
So iron is, I want to say like 38 on the periodic table.
So it's like 38 protons, 26, 26.
So this is a cool thing.
I just learned last couple a year so iron is
kind of the middle of the periodic table of elements everything bigger than iron that has
more than 26 protons all those things can release energy by nuclear fission by splitting apart so
like uranium is like 235 protons or something and it wants to break apart it's unstable
and when it breaks apart apart into two smaller things,
those also weigh less
than the one it started with.
It's like the opposite.
And that difference in mass
gives energy.
So that's how like nuclear bombs
and nuclear power plants
that do fission.
So everything bigger than iron
splits apart and releases energy.
Everything smaller than iron
can theoretically fuse
and release energy.
So everything's fusing, fusing, fusing
at the end of a star's life.
And then it gets up to iron. Now there's no more energy. So everything's fusing, fusing, fusing at the end of a star's life. And then it gets up to iron.
Now there's no more energy to be gained by fusing,
but the gravity is still just going at this crazy clip
and it's getting smaller and smaller.
And then I've tried to find a good explanation
for what happens now,
but basically all fucking hell breaks loose
once you get to iron.
And then it just collapses on itself and
violates all these quantum laws of what should happen at the subatomic level and then it just
bounces back and explodes into this insane the supernova just the thing that will make beetlejuice
visible for a month during the day it just bounces out and then just goes fucking bonkers explodes um i don't know
into how much bigger of a radius than what the original planet was but um and then i think that's
insane yeah it's really but it's cool also i think even the experts don't totally get what goes on
there they just know yeah it fuses up to iron and then just like fucking and that's that's
the iron is the point too
where it's like it gets iron, then shit gets nuts.
Yeah, it can't fuse anymore.
It's just going to collapse.
And before that, it becomes a neutron star,
which is like all the electrons and protons
fuse together to form neutrons.
So everything in it is just a ball of neutrons.
I think that's what happens.
Because that's not iron, that's neutron.
It's not even any element because there's nothing to call it
it's just all neutrons and like a teaspoon of that
weighs you know 60 billion pounds
or something like
oh my god
I was looking at that, the weight of the neutron stars
I might have stolen
is neutron stars someone else's shit
let's say I didn't say that
and that makes you feel calm David
I was going to say all this is where you're just like,
man, what a nice day.
You know what trips me out is like
the same shit out there that's doing that
is the same shit that's like here
holding my jeans together.
You know, it's all the same elements, right?
Like it's where all this stuff
is made out of the same stuff.
Well, you wear super massive black denim.
So that's...
You don't even,
you're not ready for the pockets on my new jeans.
The kids got pockets and zippers fully back and their shit flares out. You don't even You're not ready for the pockets on my new jeans
The kids got pockets and zippers
Fully back and their shit flares out
You're not ready for it
I would love if you started dressing like that
Are you going to start dressing like that?
If I start dressing like Lil Dre? Sure
I'll start dressing like I'm a Versace model
Who's Lil Dre?
He's one of the new model
Slash skateboarders who's amazing at skateboarding and also just perfect looking
and wears crazy dumb shit that the kids are wearing.
You know what I mean?
Like the kids.
I'm 42.
I'm supposed to think their shit looks stupid.
But to them, it looks amazing.
He's wearing some big pants.
Dude, so many zippers, right?
Anyway, that stuff's the same thing
that's making Beetlejuice explode.
You're right.
Because most of the universe is just hydrogen, like that tiny you know one proton in the atom everything bigger all
this shit look around your room all these things that are far up the periodic table all happen
because of supernovas like otherwise it would just be mostly hydrogen a bit of helium but then at the
end when it starts to fuse together make all these jupiter over here bigger and trigger things like
as moby taught us we are all made of stars uh yeah it's true shout out to moby bitch i knew he was gonna come up we try to get him up
if he was gonna come up it'd be in this draft that was ruled yeah i play one david your third Well, this is the edge of, I don't even know what I'm talking about, but I read about it
and I wrote it down because I wanted to see if Andy knew about it.
I'm picking White Holes.
Oh, I don't know about White Holes.
What is this?
God.
I'm excited.
I'm excited.
Andy, let me, let me, let me to jump in here.
Now I'm really butt fucked.
I'll show you a white hole.
Yeah.
My stepdad brought a video, a white hole video.
Okay.
I don't like this story at all.
I hate that.
They got, they got white holes and funny holes.
And those are the two that got holes in there.
So they said it's theoretical, but it's the idea is that it's the opposite of a black hole in that everything escapes, nothing can enter.
But the craziest thing that I was reading about it was it basically said that if objects inside the white hole, they can leave and interact with the outside world, but nothing can get in so the interior of the white hole is cut off from the
universe's past which means no outside event will ever affect the inside it feels like a lot of
cheese lately probably too much dairy on this diet come on man come on man we're trying to be
serious i'm trying to learn ian i need knowledge you know i know, I'm a sponge, baby. Nothing can enter?
Sounds like a whole lie though, too.
Yeah.
So I don't want to be, I mean, I don't want to figure it out real quick, but it sounds
like black holes on one side, white holes on the other.
Time travel.
Am I insane?
But then I was reading and some people were saying that it might be two sides of the same
coin.
It's fucked, dude.
It was dense for me.
This is all theoretical or this is some of
this is all theoretical yeah but it's a fun idea yeah like what it would do to time i'm doing some
quick googling here yeah like the concept arises from time symmetric solutions in general relativity
i know what that means so don't bother i'm not
sure i totally get that just the idea of the inside of it is unaffected by the everything
about that is crazy to me right yeah i'll be honest here so like when we podcast
going all the way back to episode one but like especially since we've gone over zoom i will
pop open zoom window or wikipedia every now and then just to read up just to be like you know
what i'll clear i'll provide some clarifying information and this entire draft is is the
one like it leads the league in me going to a Wikipedia page, starting to scroll and just being like, Oh,
okay.
I was doing it last night.
Making the list.
I'm like,
I'm not going to be able to peacefully go to sleep if I keep doing this.
Yeah,
I didn't.
I mostly brought this up because I thought that I could bring it up and
then Andy would take it.
And I would be like,
yeah,
what a great pick dude.
It is crazy.
Reading about it is crazy reading about
it is crazy though yeah but so is reading about like jay-z i mean you know it's it's just how
you want to think about it no i can understand jay-z yeah i get that he shot his brother i
understand yeah i'd never really thought about the fact that a black hole it's a one-way street
for all matter and light but but that also implies time,
essentially. And like you said, the white hole would be
the opposite. So,
like you said, nothing in the outside world could affect
in a time...
If they're like a ho-ho,
if they're intertwined...
So it's like,
it's completely secular
from all its space, right?
It's its completely owned thing inside there,
but it can still get out
and affect us.
Right, but I wonder how it doesn't instantly
lose all of its
mass if it is this thing that's just
like an exit-only, pushing
everything out.
Well, a walk around the desert
should solve that for you.
I expect an answer by nightfall.
Look at Ian's face.
He's literally the only thing on this page I've seen that I can understand is that there is a it's a white hole serves as a major source of conflict in the yugioh anime hell yeah it does oh wait a second writing yugioh understands it
to an extent he uh some theorists have even speculated the big bang itself might be the
only physical example of a white hole which that makes yeah the big bang is a white hole like it's right yeah yeah it's out yeah yeah
crazy crazy indeed i love that pic yeah you should wish you were in bed with me at one o'clock in the
morning i have fucking fluto and jupiter i need it i need to get my levels up on this next no it
wasn't even crazy i got it on space.com no i know I know. I saw it. I saw it early, but I was like, I'm just going to take stuff I kind of get.
Uh-uh. I'm playing the game wrong. Sean?
I.
And K-A-R-M-E-L.
This is pretty fi, but alternate realities.
Okay. Oh, like string theory kind of stuff?
So I don't even know. It's the theory that like, whatever, everything's happened. Like that Doctor Strange, you know, everything.
Right.
There's just infinite worlds where all of this, like this is happening right now somewhere else. But like, Ian's funny and David's loud.
Was this all for this bit? No, i'm so funny i just i'm so
funny i just thought of that this is all this is get it no but you know you know what i mean though
like that everything every it's just like david and i like are peeing into the same fountain and
it gets struck by lightning and then all this no that? No, that was an ill-advised bit.
I'm just saying the fact that anything is
happening, anything
in any world, there's all infinite
alternate realities. That's a
theory. That's very fi on this.
But again, none
of this is out of the realm of possibility because
the universe is infinite. So how are we
to know there's not an extra or a different
Earth out there where, like Bizarro Supermanman or whatever now i'm talking fast because i'm
starting to spin out but is this space or is this like theoretical i think this counts all of it
yeah right this is definitely uh we we had theoretical physicist sean carroll on our
podcast years ago um who then went on to like
he's consulted for some marvel movie like the thor dark dark whatever i mean yeah it feels like
that's where the stuff the dark world but that's like where this stuff goes but it's it's when you
talk about like ghosts or whatever like if someone believes in ghosts to me they kind of also have to
be religious because what's the huge difference?
So if I'm going to say that space is infinite and that it's ever-expanding, how am I to say that this isn't a possibility somehow?
Yeah.
Or how are you to say that all the things... So Sean Carroll told us about this thought experiment called the Boltzmann's brain or something like that. I could butcher this, but, um, it's basically saying if the universe is going to be infinite
and even if at the end of it, it is just mostly like, um, you know, if the big bang was like
pouring cream into coffee, we are now in the period where like there's interesting tendrils of
coffee mixing with cream and you know how does a podcast arise well that's one of those weird
little like whirlpools of like but you know fast forward 10 minutes or 100 billion years it's all
just even brown like that's the universe tends towards high entropy everything would just be
nothing but there's something after that like another big bang somewhere or something exactly the universe tends towards high entropy. Everything will just be nothing. But if the universe lasts...
Like another Big Bang somewhere or something.
Exactly.
Or it wouldn't even require that.
Basically, if it exists forever,
you will still have random collisions
of particles.
And given enough time
and enough chances,
like sort of the infinite monkeys,
infinite typewriters,
eventually all those particles
will assemble to form,
even if just for an instant, everything you see around you right now, including all the
memories in your brain. And how could you prove that everything that is your past,
those were all things you actually experienced versus how can you prove you aren't in one of the,
and if it's infinite, that'll happen an infinite number of times randomly. And sometimes it'll happen where this, my phone will be sitting over here
instead of here. But in any of those cases, how could you be certain you're living in a version
of yourself where all the past that led to your current memory state actually happened as opposed
to all these, all these atoms and subatomic particles just happened to align and form this
brain that has all these
memories. And that's the sort of Boltzmann brain paradox as an argument for why the universe
probably won't be infinite, because if it were true, then we'd have to admit that the chances
that we're... It's almost like the simulation theory, but the chances that all the things that
we thought happened actually happened would be near zero, because there'd be so many other times
that all these things would also arise just randomly for brief it has to be
infinite i mean because even if something even if it's not ever expanding or whatever there's
got to be something there can't be nothing and if it's nothing that nothing is now the something
yeah but i don't think these things hold up to just intuitive i get what you're saying
i went to two years of college at the University of South Dakota.
And they didn't cover this, but I had a feeling we were going to cover this before I dropped out.
Source? Some OG
platinum cushion. No, that's what I'm saying.
This shit just bends me.
But yeah, this is one that I wanted to get a little more into the fi too.
And obviously, we're not going to figure out.
It's just fun to think about.
There's a different world where there's another me who has good needs or something.
Of parallel universes, but also just even if it's just this one universe, but if it lasts forever time-wise, the same thing essentially could happen just because things will keep arising and going away just out of sheer chance. That shit breaks my brain. I'm saying the words, but I'm not actually thinking about it because I would get that feeling, I think.
Hello, all family. This is Isaac checking in in the middle of the night in Seoul, South Korea, interrupting the show because Andy's internet at this point goes down. And so there's a bit of confusion here. I'm going to take this opportune, the best way is to uproot your entire life. You drop everything you're doing, just go to a brand
new country. You figure it out from there. But this isn't the talented Mr. Ripley. All right?
You're not Jason Bourne. You can't do that. Two Damon movies. I'm out here. Obviously,
you're not ready for that, but you still want to learn a new language because everyone in the world
knows new languages. They know multiple languages and we all only know one. Get it done with Babbel.
Babbel is going to help you the quickest way possible. You speak like a whole new you when
you got Babbel. It's science-backed language learning app and it's going to get you talking
fast. It's science-backed. What else do you want? Wasting hundreds of dollars on private tutors.
That's the old school way of learning a new language. Babbel, they have these 10-minute lessons. They're
quick. They're handcrafted by over 200 language experts. And they're ready to get you talking
in three weeks, ready to get you speaking a new language. I should say speaking a new language.
You don't talk a language. Anyway, talking is the key to really knowing any language. You have to,
you got to do it. You got to be saying it out loud. And Babbel, they have tools. They have
tools on the app where you can speak the language. They'll help you with your accent. There's things
where on the app, they will talk to you and then you can decipher what they said. It's all the real
world applications that you're going to need to actually use it. You know, Babbel's tips and tools, like I said, they're grounded in real life situations.
Everything's focused on conversation. So you're going to be ready to talk everywhere you go,
because that's the key. Conversation. You want to know how to get by, right?
And like I said, little 10-minute segments. They're perfect for, say, someone like myself,
don't have a huge attention span. 10 minutes in and out, boom, you're done. And don't just try a word for word. Studies from Yale,
Michigan State University, shout out old ladies, alma mater, and beyond, they prove that Babbel
works. One study found that using Babbel for 15 hours is equivalent to a full semester at college,
which, come on, that's a no-brainer right there. So give it a try. Honestly, get up in there.

Now, with this week, we want to touch a little bit on self-care routines.
Some stuff that's non-negotiable.
Some stuff like you can't...
I got buddies, they can't skip leg day.
Myself, my schedule is completely packed out with hanging out with my
daughter. You try to pepper in work in there, it's really hard to find the time for those things that
I want, that self-care stuff. I like to walk a lot. I know that sounds ridiculous and I don't
know what fun means, but I do like walking. I love to skateboard, but it's hard. I got to drive to
the park. I got to get warmed up, which takes your boy a gentleman's half hour these days because these gams ain't what
they used to be. But I know that's what makes me happy. And it's hard to make time for it.
When you feel like you don't have any time for yourself, it can weigh on you more than anything
else. Non-negotiables like therapy are more important than ever in that situation. You need to set time,
get it like I keep saying, get a new set of ears on it. If you're having a tough time finding
time for yourself, if you just talk to someone, you say these things out loud, you will realize
that there is time. You can make time for yourself. You just have to prioritize it. It happens.
You can talk to someone, get a new set of ears on it, and they will just guide you through
the path. Therapy helps with everything. And if you're thinking of starting, go on and get better
help with Trey. Give it a shot. It helps for learning positive coping skills, setting boundaries,
all these things that are extremely important. It's all online. It's convenient, flexible.
They suit to your schedule. Go on and fill out a brief questionnaire. You get matched with a
licensed therapist, and you can switch therapists at any time for zero additional charge.
They got your back.
Never skip therapy day with BetterHelp.

It's crazy.
I guess we can talk.
It's crazy because it's when he's talking about the most insane shit happening.
I know. And guess we can talk. It's crazy because it's when he's talking about the most insane shit happened. I know.
Happening.
And then he freezes.
And it's like the government has.
But the government's like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
This can be again.
Or is this just what my brain is doing?
My brain's going to be.
Oh, yeah.
I'd like to see what happens.
Am I just glitching because I can't take it in?
Well, okay. I took a philosophy class and i can't i can't take it in well okay
i took a philosophy class and i didn't think philosophy was what i didn't realize it was so
religious like i didn't realize a chick you thought it was some sort of chick pea nugget
right yeah a falafel a falafel falafel but the dude falafel see where's my tzatziki? Is this Philopathy 101? Oh, dang.
I think.
He'll come back.
He texted us, I think.
We'll just tell him to sign back in.
But our teacher, he'd be like,
so if there's a Coke machine in the quad or whatever,
and then you go away from it, then you can't see it.
How do you know it's still there?
And I was like, whoa.
Because how do I? That kind of stuff., so all this stuff, all this like theory stuff,
it just, it's fun to think about to a, to a certain point. And then I have to completely
stop. Cause I'm like, well, I can't, I can't be doing that. I got to go for a walk or something.
You guys are making me freaked out that it doesn't bother me that much.
Well, no, I, I would, I wouldn't be everything about it. No, I'm freaked out that it doesn't bother me that much. Well, no, I wouldn't be freaked out about it.
Not freaked out, but I'm just like, I don't know.
It just doesn't really.
I've always said this.
I want, I'd love to have that mellow.
I don't, every single thing freaks me out.
So of course, space is going to make me lose my mind.
Would you go to space?
Here's a, if it was safe, would you go?
But that's another part of it to me.
It's like, yeah, probably not.
No?
It'd be interesting to put in perspective.
It seems like it's so loose.
It seems like it's so loose right now
that I'm like, I'll wait until they figure it out.
I don't understand how anyone gets back.
You know, where you hear all this stuff about like you can't,
the math involved in just shooting you into this trajectory
where some other gravity is going to,
I just don't know how people make it back to Earth.
It's crazy to me.
Right, where they have to like aim back and shoot, like go back.
And then when they come in, it's not like,
they don't come in like a needle into a pin cushion.
It's, you know, around. You have to like calculate don't come in like a needle into a pin cushion it's all right
you know around you have to like calculate entering into the atmosphere at a slow curve
you know like you go with the earth it's just it's absolutely insane to me um was that who who was up
let me look because i guess we could just jump right into it but then we won't have andy here
to explain my picks yeah yeah same well same same same that's
a that's a big part that's a big part of this for me and i've got back-to-back picks here too
so i guess it's fuck ian day huh
without the credibility of andy we're just kind of some dudes. Three dudes, dinosaurs on space.
Oh, none of us are stoned even.
Hopefully you at home are.
We haven't been on Jeopardy once between the three of us.
And Andy's been on there six times.
All right.
Here's my best attempt. I am going to take.
All right.
You know what?
I'm going to take Buzz Aldrin.
Calm it down a little bit.
Great pick.
Yeah. Bring it back a little bit. Great pick. Yeah.
Bring it back to our wheelhouse.
Some dude punching a guy because he's mad.
That I understand.
Absolutely.
Buzz Aldrin.
I think he was like, I think Buzz was 72 when he punched the guy too.
He punched the guy who denied the moon landing.
What was his real name?
It wasn't Buzz, right?
I never looked into that,
like if his name was like Arnold or something.
No, his name can't be Buzz.
Edwin Eugene Aldrin Jr.
Yeah, they'd call me Buzz too.
A.K.A. Buzz.
Dude was just a badass across the board.
He flew 66 combat missions during the Korean War,
shot down two MiG-15s survived a uh
he was like a test pilot and he grayed out they call it like graying out uh where you like try
to do this insane maneuver twice in a row so he pat like basically passed out the plane started
crashing he woke up and pulled the plane back into like that top not crashing that top gun thing that
they just they gave us with Maverick, right?
Don't they do that in Maverick?
That's right.
Yeah.
He Top Gun Maverick'd for real.
And then also was the second person
to set foot on the moon.
That takes a level of humility, you know?
Yeah.
Like, you know what?
You go on and get it.
Yeah.
You go ahead.
I'll step on second,
and then I'll punch a guy later
and people will talk about me more.
And then got interviewed by Ali G.
That's right.
That's probably my favorite thing
he's ever said.
Was when Ali G is like,
yo, what would you say to the people
that thinks there is no moon?
And he goes,
he looks at Ali G and he's like,
there most certainly is a moon.
This guy who grayed out,
like flew 68 combat missions, stepped on the moon
and he's looking at Oli G.
And it's too old to understand that it's a joke.
Was this the Buzz Aldrin
appearance? I drafted Buzz Aldrin.
I drafted Buzz Aldrin.
Andy has returned
after the government trying to silence him.
Yeah.
The government doesn't know that you have this phone right yeah i got too close to some truth there
guys sorry about the boltzman brain uh we'll have to dial it back and see if they'll uh hey 301 baby
you weren't here to explain enough of our pick so i just went ahead and took buzz aldrin somebody i
think we could all just sort of vaguely understand yeah he punched a guy so we get he's had some drinks i think yeah that is amazing he when we did the very last episode
of chelsea lately uh we had a bunch of like just famous like all the famous people we could get
there in the building including buzz aldrin he was down he was like yeah he was like a camera
get me in front of it hell yeah but i think more
than the camera like a green room yeah oh interesting yeah he was in there having snacks
you get to chop it up with him at all or say i did i met him i'm trying to find the picture right now
uh but yeah i got to talk to him he was wearing a get your ass to mars shirt from total recall
hell yeah come on callagan nice i want him to be a cool guy i like that it was cool as hell man your ass to Mars shirt from Total Recall. Hell yeah. Come on, Callaghan.
Nice. I want him to be a cool guy. I like that.
He was cool as hell, man. He could not
have been cooler. There's that
thing if you...
One of the many things I've researched, but that
a lot of people that have been in space, when they
come back to Earth, they're a little like,
well, fuck this.
Because you can see the whole world
how small it is.
I'll go ahead and make that my second okay next pick oh okay uh but we can go back to buzz aldrin the overview effect right is that what that's called huh it's called the overview
effect yeah which is something that happens to people who see the earth from a distance
where sometimes it can be the fuck that but for a lot
of people it's this sort of like overwhelming sense of how delicate the earth is and how
connected we all are like to each other how like all of us are here together that doesn't
that is that is that's beautiful yeah that's easier to put my brain around than any of the
other shit we've talked about except for buzz aldrin but maybe that's but maybe that's two sides of the same coin i think that's kind of
maybe what i'm yeah that's like the other side of what i'm saying i hear you this is the white
hole to the black hole that is the pig in your chest this is exactly exactly yeah i can do the
i can do the overview of that because it's like being close enough that i can get back and looking back and thinking like oh here we all are uh you know like just on this tiny little
satellite hurtling through space together and we have to like protect one another and less about
what else what where does it end which and that's like what freaks me out right um yeah it's just
like a sense of it's almost like a kind of ego death sort of thing that
happens to people they say yeah all it takes is a billion dollar space mission or 20 dollars of
mushrooms yeah yeah come on yeah and it's not enough to make you not punch someone who says
that we didn't land on the moon though whatever whatever powers that uh the overview effect has
it will not keep us aldrin from just absolutely
clocking a dude and i think that's beautiful too yeah dude no that's he's gonna do that before he
went to the moon though yeah that was always gonna happen i just love that like you know that there's
this great show for all mankind that's on apple andy do you watch that i haven't seen it yet i
got i've heard it's great yeah i think you might dig it the creator set out to make a show
where he's like what would have to happen
for Star Trek to eventually become a reality
which is
kind of a cool mission statement
so it's very
light speculative fiction
about if we just funded NASA
like it was the military basically
but it's great,
but it's, I mean, it kind of covers what happened in real life, which is like astronauts went from
insane test pilots who are willing to die flying like supersonic rocket ships to like scientists.
And Buzz Aldrin was just one of those dudes where he was like, I'm an insane test pilot. I'm willing
to die in a rocket ship. Uh, just one of those throwback astronauts was like i'm an insane test pilot i'm willing to die in a rocket
ship yeah uh just one of those throwback astronauts that i think is really fun so they go from test
from test pilots to scientists but then the end of that trajectory is the to steve aoki do you
guys know about the steve aoki moon mission no oh my internet is down now, but just Google Steve Aoki moon. Not Rocky, the sun.
What's that?
The DJ.
The DJ.
Yeah, okay.
There is a moon mission that involves a bunch of civilians, including Steve Aoki.
As I said, my Wi-Fi is down if you guys want to look it up.
Oh my God, yeah.
Dear moon mission.
And the best thing I read of this was, I should quote the Twitter person. I don't know who it was, but they're like,
so imagine being the Wikipedia editor who has to add the Death on the Moon section to Steve Aoki's entries.
Oh, yeah.
The crew is Steve Aoki.
Some guy made a song.
Marshmallow halibut.
A South Korean musician. Choi Sung Yoon. Sorry for how I braille said Isaac. crew is steve aoki some guy made a marshmallow a south korean musician choice on yoon sorry for
how i braille that isaac yemi ad a multidisciplinary creative what does that mean there's somebody
there who looks very deantward if memory serves am i correct yeah okay rihanna rihanna and adam
has a hardcore deantward haircut yeah If you go to the Dear Moon crew,
it looks
like you would be okay if they
didn't make it back.
There's a YouTuber named Tim Dodd.
Is one of the Paul brothers going?
Yeah.
Not as of
current publishing
a deep sea photographer
I mean cool I guess if like these are the kind of people
who get to go to the moon
eventually it would be Sean Jordan
yeah
yeah in my alternate reality
I'd love to go to them I think I'd
go well not with Max
in my life for her i would
have gone it has been postponed if you have guaranteed safety but it's still going to be like
what is it probably a two-week mission or something would you do guaranteed safety i'd go
for a year we just talked about this i'd go for a year even now even with a daughter i'd be like
yeah i gotta go yeah i mean i'd do it you don't think the
claustrophobia you don't think you'd have a panic attack at some point during this guaranteed safety
no that my panic attacks come from what i make up in my mind as far as like that's why i hate
flying i just make up these scenarios it was guaranteed safety right no way i could sleep
i feel like if i had a n Switch, I'd be okay. Yeah.
Just like play Civilization for seven hours to make like, you know, pass some of the time.
They go look at Earth, be like, oh, sick.
Eat some edibles.
Watch all the Godfathers.
Yeah, it'd be great.
They're all of you, in fact, Sean.
It'd be like going to Europe.
Yeah.
Is it me?
Yep.
Aliens, bro.
Yeah, dog.
Yeah.
Not a lot to say because we don't even know what's up with them.
But they're out there.
You tell me there ain't aliens out there.
It's another thing when I was...
What do you think?
10?
Something.
I don't know.
Right around you stop when Santa Claus stops.
Sorry if there's any kids listening.
Parents let their kids listen to this, which is wild.
But right around that time where you're like There's gotta be aliens, there has to be
There has to be
And in theory, there's some on Earth right now, right?
Isn't that what's happening?
What? You think there's aliens on Earth right now?
Well, didn't
I thought there was just something that broke about
How an actual
Independence Day situation is going on
Where there's aliens here and we just didn't know about them or am i just on cooler websites than you
no i don't know what i'm talking about who knows what i heard but i feel like some news broke a
while ago that was like not exactly definitive where they were like uh the ufos are real yeah
it was or something like that but i mean there's gotta be an alien right
like in the in the technical that we don't know they're unidentified right yeah right right i saw
ufo once what and that's and nobody wanted to hear the end of it so like no follow-up questions
it was in it was in new mexico it was in uh arizona new mexico at like three four o'clock in the morning
i was with clero kane uh we were driving back to california we were on tour coming through from
texas or something like that it's like four o'clock in the morning and it was like multi-colored and
this huge flash went across the sky and then we didn't see anything else yeah i don't i believe
i mean it was fucking well it was it was wild. I've never seen anything like that before or after.
We were listening to Comedy Bang Bang, which was hilarious.
That is very funny.
I believe it.
Because that is what will happen when aliens appear.
That's what was so fucked up about, like, science is that, like,
oh, yeah, it would just happen at a kid's birthday party.
You know, like, that is when we would get the first footage.
It would just be something innocuous every day happening.
My dad swears he saw a UFO saw UFO too in upstate New York.
I'm not going to tell him he didn't.
Yeah.
Yeah, dude.
I don't know why people are so quick to discredit
it. I don't see any huge reason
why it couldn't happen. I don't know.
It doesn't help that most people
well, like abductions, all that stuff,
but it doesn't help that most people who claim to be abducted seem like kind of loony bins anyways but if i
got abducted by aliens i might not be i might not have a firm grasp on reality what's what's
my behavior gonna be after that i'd be pretty buck i think yeah i mean i would say the reason
i think it's unlikely is just how difficult getting close i think no matter how
advanced science gets i don't think we will ever the the speed of light i think is a true universal
speed limit um i mean i guess there might be ways to like create wormholes or something but like
nothing is ever going to go the speed of light because that's another like divide by zero error in the universe so and even if something went the speed of light let's say
there was intelligent life at alpha centauri that takes four years at the speed of light which is
impossible i mean so any reasonable you know that's like three body problem if you guys read
or watched that like um i guess have you guys seen that show
yet on netflix or read the book i read the book the first book i read slight spoiler but you know
it's like it takes the story takes place over 400 years for a reason and that reason is related to
what we're talking about because it's just yeah the distances are just so unfathomable i mean
if i show louis the 18th an iPhone, he'd just cut my head off.
So what are we saying?
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
Louis XVIII.
I don't know which one cut off all the heads.
Was it the XIV?
I'm just saying, like, who am I to say
aliens don't have different math than we do?
Maybe they can do a different math.
I think it's funny that you're thinking Louis XVIII.
Maybe they can get here quicker.
Maybe they got different lights, dude.
You don't even know.
That's, this is a thing. I think that that is one of the things get here quicker. Maybe they got different lights, dude. You don't even know.
This is a thing. I think that is one of the things that I would put all my chips on is the speed of light is a hard limit.
Didn't they get rid of the math that got you through Cornell already? So I don't know who I
am out here talking. Who's to say? These kids are doing different math than we did. So maybe
aliens got better math. Anyway, aliens. Aliens. I like it.
I do think aliens do or have existed.
I just doubt they've gotten here.
But I think the fact that we just in the last 30 years discovered, like 30 years ago, we
didn't even know if there were any planets outside of our solar system.
We thought maybe this was a freak thing that a star would have planets.
And then in the last 30 years, we went from discovering some of those exoplanets to now
theorizing that every single star you see has at least one planet yeah i was reading they said it
was like like at least one in six have like the earth-sized planet or something like that so yeah
the odds that we that there wouldn't have been either now or at some point life somewhere else
the odds are you'd have to be so cocky to say like nope only happened this one time right yeah well my uncle's pretty cocky then
some notion that maybe like the way we age like in relation like there could be beings that like
perceive time differently like maybe they age at a different rate than we do like like the fact
that like someone lives to 100 years old and that's considered very old
could be like a month for some of these creatures that maybe travel?
I wonder about that with just animals that have longer or shorter lifespans in general.
Do they perceive time differently because of that?
Does an insect that lives for a day does does that day feel like as uh
right like does it feel like a data yeah or a greenland shark that lives for like 400 years
is it just like does it is it like jesus i've been around a long time or is it like no this
is how long or to the extent that they have consciousness at all i guess i guess
sometimes i feel like it's
like the way your problems are
your problems. It feels the same to everybody.
Yeah.
You know what I mean? It's like, yeah, I don't know.
If I've never dealt with that, then this is
the hardest thing for me.
I do know.
Yeah.
Let's talk about Buzz Aldrin some more. Anyway.
For sure. Let's smoke some weed afterrin some more. Anyway. For sure.
It's after this.
Yeah, absolutely.
Fourth pick.
I don't know how to say this.
Like how Sean was saying, it's all made out of the same stuff.
The idea that like there are things that we would find familiar in space.
Does that make sense?
Like,
okay.
What I saw was they said they found this cloud of gas at the center of the
Milky way.
And it's made out of ethyl formate,
which is the,
like,
uh,
it's the same thing that gives raspberries their flavors and it smells like
rum.
So it's like the idea that you could be out in the middle of there.
And then you're like, wait, I smell rum. Like it's like the idea yeah that you could be out in the middle of there and then you're like
wait i smell rum like it's all the same we're all working with the same paint paint colors right
space booze yeah the same element yeah yeah but it's not the fact that it's booze it's just the
idea that something in this place that's completely different completely far completely different from what i know and there
could still be some familiarity because it's all the same made from the same shit music is all made
from the same notes and they keep coming up with different exactly and so no matter where you where
you go or what you do with it it's still music because it still has the building blocks of the notes yeah but like out
there yeah a hydrogen atom is a hydrogen atom like yeah yeah that's just really wild to me like
it is you know what i mean like i'm out here yeah that's what the fuck i wrote down space booze for
you yeah thank you thank you that's
really that's really it when you synthesize what i've been talking about but just like yeah i that
also to me is kind of comforting where it's like yeah we got we got that at home yeah you know
we got space at home yeah yeah yeah yeah it's like when you go you ever like when you go to another country and
you feel really like or this has maybe happened to me when i'm like in another country or something
like that and i feel really really far away from home yeah and then you just get like a coca-cola
or something and you're like oh yeah yeah or else yeah yeah yeah every culture has developed dumplings or they figured out that like
grilling meat is good you know like every brisket right yeah exactly so the idea that that exists
even deep into space is i don't know i think that's really really cool i'm not changing it
to space brisket the pig oh thank god i love it I love it. I had to outgrow the space booze.
Or space raspberries.
Or space raspberries.
That is fucking wild.
That, like, there is a huge cloud of what makes raspberries taste good out in space.
Yeah, or, like, it smells like rum.
It smells like rum in here.
It smells like rum in space.
It smells like that time I went to Sandals, Jamaica.
You know what I mean?
That's crazy.
Yeah, people get married out there too
they have little bachelorette parties
flip side of
wait I do want to hear what you wanted to say about flip side
yeah yeah yeah
flip side of that is just like
if one atom
of whatever is the same as one atom of whatever
then there's somebody
who had this like
thought experiment about basically about Star Trek whatever is the same as one atom of whatever then there's somebody who had this like thought
experiment about basically about star trek teletransport transporter beam whatever the
word for the beam me up devices transporter um if what it's doing is just like uh scanning every
atom of your body um and then rebuilding that like imagine if that was happening if we're
sitting here and someone's like okay on a different planet right now i'm scanning you and every single
atom i'm building from the ground up so now there is an exact david on mars atom for atom um david
for david are you that thing now and do you care if we now kill the version of you on earth as long as that was built
at the same time you took away like
would your consciousness make that
jump or would there be two of your conscious because every neuron
is the same every atom is the same
are there two of you do you care if we kill
the first one like and
and what is consciousness and that
if you could make a second one of me am I
me or am I just this kind
of random grouping
now we're talking about what makes me me what's what's powering this engine you know what i mean
that's what i was have sex is that masturbation or what yeah also also if that's me then like
what yeah doesn't matter if you kill me and what is would that mean still have my memories and stuff?
Like, would the behavior be different?
So would the behavior be the same, you would assume?
Like, it would do what I would do?
I think if you ask that thing, it thinks it's you.
It has all your memories.
But if that's what happens every time you do a Star Trek transportation to your friends,
it'll be, oh, he's fine.
Look, it's him.
But, like, you killed the one on the ship to
make the one on the planet you know like the magician that's what i was gonna say that's what
they do the whole movie spoiler alert but and if it's and if it's me killing me is it really
i mean now we're talking about more is that is that is that a problem i mean it's you gotta ask
yourself but i think but i think if that's the tech i would never sign up to be beamed because Is that a problem? I mean, it's... You gotta ask yourself.
But I think if that's the tech,
I would never sign up to be beamed because I think...
It seems fucked.
Yeah, yeah.
Because that still means you're gonna die.
It's like Severance.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, like as much as that goes,
it's still I have to die.
Right.
Severance is fucked in my head.
But I mean, I'm just gonna die anyways.
That show, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
I might have to get hammered after this.
I don't know what's going to happen.
I'm not.
I don't feel right.
But anyways, yeah. Little pieces of home
out in space.
Doing double duty trying to get this Dropbox
link over here and that's where I want to be like, Isaac,
I don't know what's going on right now.
He's on the plane.
This is hilarious.
Anyway, yeah.
Andy, time for your fourth pick.
Excellent.
By the way, sorry for making everything so long,
but I love this stuff.
Thank you for indulging.
This is great.
I'm going to go straight up North Star, man.
It's just always there for you.
Polaris.
Yeah.
How?
How is it always there for you polaris yeah like how like how is it always there for us yeah
it's just the fact that we happen to have this is just dumb luck there happens to be like a pretty
bright star it's not the brightest but you know visible with the naked eye um and it happens to
be lined up exactly with the axis that our planet is spinning on right so if you set a long exposure camera out
overnight that will be in the same place in the picture everything else all the rest of stars
will look like they're big circles around it right so we wild it's just dumb luck that the planet
happens to be aligned with that thing and it makes navigation for the last few centuries so much easier because you can
always be like, that is directly north and it's never going anywhere. Except what I just learned
in the last couple of years, it is going somewhere because the earth spins like a top. So it
precesses, so our axis wobbles, but it takes 26,000 years to do a full circle. So in 13,000 years,
years to do a full circle. So in 13,000 years, if I stood in the night sky and pointed at the North star and didn't move for 13,000 years, what would be by my finger then is the star Vega,
which is very far away in the night sky. So like our axis is going to draw this circle in the night
sky over the next 26,000 years. So, you know, in like 5 like 5 000 years there won't be any north star
like our axis will just be pointing to some empty spot in space between polaris and and some other
stars so it's just kind of there wasn't one before right yeah we just got lucky that we have a north
star we're in this time period that's so and think about all the all the exploring that's happened
in the last 500 years they were lucky enough to have in the Northern hemisphere to have this
pretty easy to navigate by and easy to find.
Cause the two dots in the bowl,
part of the big dipper point to the North star.
Wow.
It's just kind of a cool,
like I think about,
yeah.
What would have been different in human history if there hadn't been one
easy to find North star for the last 500 000 500 or a thousand
years or so so i think that's that kind of shit's interesting everything's amazing people that's
what i hear that calmed me down a little bit that was nice okay it's okay he'll be there for me for
a while he'll be there for a while and then good good good good 13 000 years vega vega is one of the brighter stars in the sky and that will be the north star i think and that'll be there for a while. He'll be there for a while. And then 13,000 years. Vega is one of the brighter stars in the sky.
And that will be the North Star, I think.
And that'll be kind of cool in 13,000 years.
I can't wait to see it.
After the water wars.
What's that?
After the water wars.
After Kevin Costner drinks his own urine.
Yeah.
Find out he has gills.
I drink his urine too.
Guy's a good looking guy. Ag guy aging well by the way yeah indeed wow yeah this is another one where
i just got lost on the uh tell us what you're finding because my internet's still down so i'm
just going off the dome also known as like the load star. It's like been known, you know, that there's also the steadfast star,
like Shakespeare wrote about it.
Oh,
it has a name in pre-Islamic Arab astronomy.
I'll do die,
which means the kid in the sense of the juvenile,
like a juvenile goat.
Oh yeah.
By the way,
most stars are Arabic names like that.
They were the big early astronomers.
And also,
you know,
algebra, that's an arabic word
like tons of math and astronomy is yeah wild it's very algorithm all those words oh algorithm oh
wow yeah algorithm seriously these are all yeah yeah algorithm was my r&b name i did the ill
ill-fated r&b group that i had just me wasn't really that's that's an
inconvenient truth right there before i was the word burglar before i was the word burglar
that was algorithm the word burglar and algorithm dude opening for uh rogue planet in the vastness
of space opening for diggable planets true andets. And our bass player, our bass player,
Theremin.
He was along for most of it.
He was a studio musician.
And your final pick,
a lightning round.
Just a real quick one.
I just love looking out this window right here
when there is any kind of rocket
going off from Vandenberg Air Force Base.
So watching rocket launches
in the distance.
I'm still pro space programs, pro space travel.
I know it's falling out of fashion,
but watching a rocket launch at dusk in the Western horizon.
Absolutely.
I went to Cape Canaveral once to watch one
and it got canceled at the 10 second countdown.
Are you serious?
Yes.
Damn, IBP.
Ian was trying to get on.
They wouldn't let you.
Let's let it go.
Now, so is that the space station
or the whatever
that when everyone in LA
goes on Twitter
and they're like
what's this
and you're like
it's a fucking rocket launch
how many times
it gotta happen
for you to be like
that's what happens
when they launch rockets
exactly
yeah and it's
when it's usually at dusk
so then like
it's getting dark
but it's high enough up
that the sun's light
is still illuminating
it's uh
that's awesome
all the stuff behind it.
Yeah.
Vandenberg up by like SLO area.
David,
your final pick.
Oh,
the silence.
Cause this all happens in silence.
Oh yeah.
Hold you down,
huh?
No one can hear you scream.
Yeah.
It's just,
no,
I don't want to sound like a moron.
If I was next to you and I was talking,
you could hear me,
right?
No, no, not in space. See a moron. If I was next to you and I was talking, you could hear me, right? No.
No, not in space.
See, that didn't calm me down at all.
You need air for sound.
Yeah.
That is rocket.
Sign language?
Yeah.
I only know this, baby.
This is what I don't want to say anyway.
Sean, your final pick?
Can I pick space stations? say. Sean, your final pick.
Can I pick space stations?
Yeah.
I like space stations.
I think it's cool that like,
there's what?
It's like 15 people living in space right now.
It's awesome.
ISS.
Actually,
there's a website.
You can go to how many people are in space right now.com or something like that. And it'll give you the number and list all their names.
I could be wrong on this side,
but there's,
it's a fun thing.
It is.
How many people are in space right now.com?
How many?
10.
There's 10?
Okay, shit.
Do they got normal names?
Is there like a Jason up there?
Shout out to Kayla.
What do you mean by normal names?
Well, I don't know.
You think they're going to be like Xenox and stuff.
You know what I mean?
Like space names.
Well, I'll tell you, there's not one Xenox up in space right now i'll tell you who is kayla matthias thomas raja oleg
denny sergey yay or i don't know that might be these are chinese people now so it might be guangfu
yapping and she's like aggressively normal in the real world space dude you gotta have a surrogate space yeah surrogate and oleg have been up there for 1152 days the
longest yeah who's gonna help when he gets up there to get on the asteroid 1100 days or maybe
i don't know if that's cumulative but yeah that says on this website they've been up there for
1100 days gentlemen's three years i if my if my math is correct and usually oh i think it's cute i think it's cumulative
i think must be cumulative it's still impressive still yeah it looks like an olex too that's more
time than i spent in college cumulative cumulative uh my final bit i'm taking the moon
shout out to the moon dude how did it take this long for the moon yeah yeah just for a reason the fucking moon bro it's been it's been with us the whole time we've
been here at least you know it's shaped like a lemon a lot of people don't know that i think
it's because of our gravity that was on it like when the moon was first formed it kind of made
it look like a lemon it bulges at the the poles. And that's how it's,
that's how it's always facing the same way. Cause it's tidally locked.
Right.
Yeah.
We never see,
we only see one side.
I'm never getting Spotify.
That was the most fun thing I learned.
I didn't know that.
And I bet you,
Laura doesn't either.
And I'm going to go hit her with it in a second.
That we've never seen the other side of the moon.
That David's not going to Spotify.
He's a title guy.
Now that the moon's like a lemon, dude, that's crazy.
I didn't know that.
Yeah.
Shaped like a lemon.
Shout out to the moon.
And guys, by the way, if you just get a
pair of like $30 Amazon binoculars,
pretty cool.
If you want to stop short of the full
telescope, just looking at the moon through binoculars pretty cool like if you want to stop short of the full uh telescope just looking
at the moon through binoculars is pretty pretty dope i recommend i'm gonna do it tonight if the
skies are clear because i have yeah pardon me a pair of 30 amazon uh binoculars that i got for
looking at a different kind of moon baseball players baseball players butts yeah i think we
got we got a waxing crescent that should be up
till like 1 a.m i think so yeah so do most center fielders i'll tell you that
all right to recap andy you went first you took the aurora borealis
and we and we mourn and we mourn your inability to have seen it. Here's us praying for another solar storm. Thank you.
Beetlejuice, a supernova, Polaris, and rocket launches. David, you went second.
You took the vastness of space, rogue planets, white holes, space brisket,
the idea that there's all these familiar things up there,
and the silence of outer space.
Sean, you went third.
You took black holes, the rings of Saturn, alternate realities,
aliens,
and space stations.
I'm just now realizing
I forgot to take
a second break, Isaac.
I'm sorry.
You'll figure that out.
Ian,
Carmel,
who forgot to take
a second break,
took Pluto,
Jupiter,
Buzz Aldrin,
the overview effect,
and the fucking moon, baby.
Yep.
We left a bunch of great stuff.
I mean, we left
literally everything on the rest of space. There's a lot of great stuff i mean we left literally everything on the
rest of space there's a lot of shit out there from what i've heard from vcrs to alpha centauri
nothing else got drafted everything else is in space technically we want to hear your picks
