This is a HeadGum Original. In 1977, NASA sent two solid gold records into space so that aliens might find them and understand life on Earth. I send greetings on behalf of the people of our planet. And friendly wishes to all who may encounter this voyager. Now, we're making new records with our friends. Bonjour tout le monde. Konnichiwa.

Hola y saludos a todos. Assalamu alaikum. We step out of our solar system into the universe seeking only peace and friendship. We know full well that our planet and all its inhabitants are but a small part of this immense universe that surrounds us. Hello from the children of planet Earth. Well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well. Hey! Do you think that was a normal length of us doing that or like a longer one? That was longer for sure.

That was a longer one. We went a little long. It was longer, but at the same time, maybe not even in length so much as it took more turns and that feels a little longer. Yeah. Vibes. Vibes. Vibes.

Vibes. I liked it. How are you? I'm good. How are you? I would say I'm well. What have I been doing? Not much. Bad weather in LA. For so many days. Raining a lot.

I mean, I think we're supposed to be grateful, right? For rain? In LA. Oh, I don't grow crops or anything, so I don't know. I thought this city recently had a big... Recently being eight years ago, like a big drought, and now we're, we're just supposed to like be like good with any rain. You know what? I think on that note, unless you have something to get to, we should bring in our guests.

Let's find out. The only thing I was going to bring up was that I almost lit all of LA on fire today. Well, yeah, you should stop playing with fire. You get too comfortable with it and you need to stop playing with fire. I will say that. Okay fire i will say that okay i will say that everybody you know our guest today from the iconic podcast culture kings please help us welcome jacques neil hey what's up what's up how you guys doing jacques you just moved to a new house i did yeah i did i moved to a new house give us the address uh yeah yeah for sure for sure uh six sixteen hundred pennsylvania avenue oh i wish i am in the white house now wouldn't

it be i would be the worst president of all time i think what was the first thing you would do day one uh reparations man uh let's go exactly listen i would be a great, I would be a, I'm not going to lie to you. I would be a great president for black people. But for anybody that's not black, you're going to be upset with Jackie's Neal. And not that I'm going to screw you. I'm just not going to do nothing for you. It's just not a priority. Yeah, it's just not a priority.

If I get, I'll get around to it. I'll get around to it. If you were going to do day one president reparations, would you do original 40 acres and a mule or would you update it? Oh, we updating that. We updating that. It would be so embarrassing if we did original reparations, 40 acres and a mule.

Everyone would be like, what the fuck do I do? Yeah. What the fuck I want to do with this mule, man? We got cars, bro. We don't need a mule.

40 acres is also like kind of a lot to have to take care of. It's like a lot. There's a lot that goes into that. Give me one acre and a lot of money. Yeah. If I give you 40 acres and a mule, a lot to have to take care of there's a lot that goes into that give me one acre and a lot of money if I give you 40 acres and a mule you're gonna be like where my slaves at man I need somebody to take care of this shit so I'm not trying to go back to that I'm lying I'm gonna give I would give reparations some

to every marginalized group. I would give some just basically straight white men wouldn't get anything. So, all right. I can really get behind that. Yeah, we can. We can certainly get behind that. We were behind it when it was just black people. Yeah, when you said white people, I was up behind it.

I was like, that's cool. Absolutely. If you're going to cut in the gays, I'm like really behind this. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, we definitely. We definitely. Gays, women. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You have our vote you definitely absolutely absolutely what's up guys you're in

the white house and before that you were in la you moved within la yes i moved within la you know and and then i did move before i moved here to the white house i did move to another place um and i was very excited. You know, I felt like I was balling out of control, moving to a bigger place. Second bedroom, get an office. You know, pandemic dictates that I do everything in the house now. I'm a voiceover artist as well. So, you know, I was like, all right, I'm going to get a second room so I can set up everything, right?

Doing my podcast, my self-tapes. I'm right outside one of the busiest fucking rows in Birmingham. The 101. You're on the 101. I'm pretty much, yeah. I'm on the 101. It sounds like traffic is in my fucking room. So I can't do shit.

So, like, I'm in a worse situation recording-wise than I was in my last place. Yeah, but you have a whole office. I do. I have a whole office that i don't use at all now uh you know because i don't have no work so my office was just for like entertainment purposes yeah we're on like absolutely a residential street but you would think we're on a highway people and our streets also really short like yeah we're between there's it doesn't go past the block our street yeah and people will be going 80 speed racing through the one block i'm like how do you even it's not even fun at that point you gotta hit the brakes so quick yeah you gotta hit the brakes right away and then saturday mornings i don't listen jakeese i don't know what the fuck

is going on on our street on saturday mornings it's honking yelling yelling it's a are you two in the same place are you two in this we live in the same house i love that you are are you okay i see it i see it now i was gonna say i love your two separate cameras and i would i would assume like even you were in two separate rooms which you're not you just put your fingers in front of each other yeah yeah we're very together um we have maybe 45 ice cream trucks that roam this street specifically and yes um then on saturday mornings there's the honking the screaming i i can't figure out quite what the deal is with the screaming and the honking it seems like they have a standing date and one guy always forgets and they have to wake him up with honking and screaming.

And I'm happy for them. You know, listen, it's a real alarm clock, you know, just somebody else wake you up. Having people come by to scream and honk at you. Yeah. We have to ask you something. Yeah, we're not here to talk about our street. We're not here to talk about the people who live around us. We're here to ask you.

If we were sending new records into space today yeah what's the first thing you're putting on it oh man when i when i when i first got approached with this question obviously my my first thought was just records like music but then you guys were like no we it's just just, you know, records of things. Right. But I'm still going to go music. I'm still going to go first music. You know, I feel like music is important. So I'm going to put what I feel is one of the heaviest songs Jay-Z has ever made. So people can know like, oh, Earth is fucked up.

And it's called Meet the Parents. Meet the Parents by Jay-Z. Okay. I'm not going to bring the mood down, but I relate to it a little bit because it's about a person who's never met his father. And that's as far as I'm going to bring the mood down. But it's on the Blueprint 2, which is the sequel to his classic Blueprint album. Right. blueprint album right and the song is about a for short a father who has a kid uh he says it doesn't look like him so he goes away doesn't raise the kid the mom is there to raise the kid

by herself she's in like hard times kid grows up he gets raised by the streets and he is you know doing his thug thing he's a gang he's a gangster and uh one day on the street he he meets this this og this you know this this older cat and like they get in an argument and the young and the young cat pulls out a gun it was like yo what you doing you know and then the and then he sees the guy's face, and he was just like, damn, this face looks just like my face. Right? And he looks, and in that moment of hesitation, he gives the older cat the jump,

and the older cat pulls out a gun and shoots him, and it's actually his son. So, like, after they've never met each other, and he actually, it's a storytelling song. It's such a good time. It's so fucking good. It is such a good fucking song. Like I love Jay-Z and pop music, all that shit.

But like Jay-Z is one of the best storytellers, which is why I think people liked 444 a lot. Cause it's a storytelling album a little bit more than just like, I'm going to make some hip hop songs. That's one of his best storytelling songs of all time. It is.

It is all that. So, yeah. He approached this thug that had a mean mug and it looked so familiar that he called him young cause told him get off the strip

but the boy ain't bugged. Instead he pulled out a new one 38 snub. He clearly had to try but the boy just paused. There was something in this man's face he knew he'd seen before. It's like looking in the mirror seeing himself more mature. He took it as a sign from the almighty lord. You know what they say about he who hesitates and wars.

He who hesitates and sloths. He can't explain what he saw before his picture went blank. The old man didn't think he just followed his instincts. Six shots into his can. Out of the gun. Okay. Jay-Z does piano and hip-hop better than anyone else that's that hot shit i will never understand jay-z like you said is an incredible storyteller the way that people can do a whole like birth dad's not there grow up find the dad get killed but like that whole story in one song that shit's crazy yeah it's like a three minute song too like uh what would you do by city high yeah exactly exactly oh yeah the whole story yeah that's crazy it's really good it's really good

just it it is just straight poetry like true the way he puts it together and it still rhymes and it makes sense and it's like he's using a whole bunch of metaphors but they're so easy to fucking get and it's sad it's tragic you know it's a tragic ass song i think it's amazing and i think like you know if we're gonna put some shit out there in the space there's all you know, if we're going to put some shit out there in the space, there's all, you know, there's the Beach Boys and Beatles and all that shit. You know. A bunch of dudes in a Hawaiian t-shirt. A bunch of dudes, you know. But I want some people, I want, you know, the people from not on this planet

to be like, hmm, you know, they're a little creative. The music sounds good. Like you said, the piano and the hip hop. And also, maybe we need to come down there and make sure, you know, these fathers are being, you know, dads to their sons. Maybe that's what we need to do. And I feel like, I feel like the instinct to when people put music, which is an instinct I dig and enjoy, but people are like, they want to put the, the universal love anthem,

the come together songs. I think putting Jay-Z on there is a really good way to be like, Hey, we're, we're talented. Fuck with us. We're talented. But we're also like, like we have stuff going on down here we're not just all friends yeah do you think okay so like we go into like the zoo or a safari and there's animals eating their young and we're like damn i guess that's just what they're up to do you think the aliens will think that about people they're like dad's always killed their sons well you know you know honestly probably which is why this song is going to be like at the end jay-z is saying you know uh be a father you're killing your sons meet the parent he's saying don't do that so he's like all right so that'll teach them about that'll teach them about

the evolutionary chain right away you know otherwise they gotta get through the whole song they gotta get through the whole song you know and then they'll be like okay humans are not supposed to do this but sometimes they do they might they might they might they shouldn't he wouldn't have if he would have met his son you know he wouldn't have done that he wouldn't there is a yeah there is a big metaphor in that like your absentee parents you're killing your kids by not knowing them that's that's essentially what the song is about like the end of it the end of it is like him shooting his son right but that in itself is a metaphor right for like what he did to his son his entire life you know by not being there and help not just raise him but help him have somewhat of a better life because mom was

struggling and on her own shit i love this edition i think it's hot i want to know what else would you put on here jakees you know i'm gonna put i'm gonna put my favorite tv show of all time now i waffle between my favorites on the list on the list of my favorites kirby enthusiasm is right up there depending on the day i might say kirby enthusiasm is my favorite show of all, comedy of all time. TV show, sitcom, whatever you want to call it. Fresh Prince is up there. Right. Breaking Bad is up there. Some good shows.

Right. My favorite show of all time is Martin. Right. Okay. Iconic. What's up? What's up? What's up?

I am. I am. I'm the man. Today, your favorite show of all time is Martin. Today is Martin. Today, it's Martin. Today, it is Martin. I feel like Martin is a live action cartoon. Yes.

Yeah. Because it's so silly. Right. It is so silly. He's playing all these different characters. Is Martin at like his height where he's just like, yeah, you so crazy. Like, yeah, I am crazy and I'm going to show it. Yeah.

It's at his height and at his hottest we can and at his hottest yeah yeah he was hot and martin he was hot martin he was hot he was he was you know like listen he was a he was he was skin and bones he was a he was a skinny skinny skinny fucking he was skinniest if you look at martin now, you look at Martin on the Martin show, you're like, oh, you're two different people. Yeah. It's all that money. It's all that money and comfort. He served you really well. Yes.

That money and comfort. But yeah, Martin is so fucking good. And one of the few things I loved about it outside of just Martin himself, I thought Gina was great. Pam, Tisha Arnold is Gina was great. Pam. Tisha Arnold is a fucking legend. We need to put some respect on her name.

She's a legend. Cole and Tommy are just great sidekick characters. They're just the epitome of all-time sidekick characters. The running jokes in it. Tommy, you ain't got no job. Tommy. What? Everybody in the audience knows damn well you ain't got no job, man.

Like, it's so many great running jokes in it. That's so good. Speaking of Gina, I feel like one of the biggest testaments to Martin's, like, salience is a stupid word for it but like um impact is it's really hard to break through the culture and have like a catchphrase or a moment that sticks in general but damn gina is still like yeah yeah people are still saying damn gina damn gina damn yeah it's like it's still here and that's so hard to do yeah that from that time and uh what you're talking about willis are like the two that's sticking my head from that era that just like they never left that's around they never left and the funny thing is unlike what you're talking about willis which is almost said every fucking episode and different strokes he rarely said damn gina right like he said it maybe a handful of times

right but it was just so iconic and how he said it that it just stuck. And it was so good. My favorite episode of Martin of All Time. This is one thing that I love about Martin. Obviously, they don't show all of it. But if you watch that show, like go back and watch like 10 episodes if you can. They break so much on that show and they keep it in. I watched one episode today just to like refresh. And Gina's just like cracking up in part of the scene.

And they were just like, yeah, let it run. Let the day go. You can tell, like if they're in the background, they are trying so hard. Like you can see them like trying so hard not to laugh. One of my favorite, my favorite episode of Martin of All Time, I think a lot of people have this in their top five was when uh somebody stole martin's cd player yes and he bought them together made them all wear black and then he had his fake rottweiler like going around the circle

and like if you watch that scene you can look at all of them and all of them are breaking but you can't not use it because martin is in a stream of consciousness he is not breaking he is in it and it's gold like you can't and that's what i love about it it's just like and when he's interviewing all of them yes like he's so like trying to be a detective about it he's so good it's so good yeah watch's so good. Yeah, I love that. Martin is going to make anybody laugh that likes comedy, I think. It's a good show. Martin Lawrence also, over his career, made a bunch of things that I feel like people, Big Mama's House, for example, is one of the most perfectly, brilliantly, funnily cast movies of all time we were talking about that like

a week ago i love that movie and it's cast so well and people just wrote it off because it's like more martin lawrence in a fat suit and it's like yeah it was so much funnier than so funny it was so oh yeah it was so much funnier than that and you know why like big mama's house two and big mama's house three well not so much 2. I thought 2 was actually pretty good. Big Mama's House 3 was garbage. But Big Mama's House 2 a little bit. But Big Mama's House 1, they're not making fun of it.

Like it still has heart to it. You know what I'm saying? Kind of like the Nutty Professor. They're not making fun of this is Eddie Murphy in a fat suit. They're not making fun of this is martin in a fast i mean they have some jokes right like the shower joke and shit like that which is that even though that's not martin that's just him in the shower with the real big mama right uh but yeah it has some good nice heart to it that makes it you know seem like yeah this actually could happen yeah there's also like the i think one of the funniest

comedic scenes of all time is anthony anderson teaching that self-defense class yeah it's like this shit is like universally funny had nothing to do with the fat suit most of the time it's a great movie it's just so funny most of the time it had nothing to do with the fat suit that to me that's a story of my. Most of the time it had nothing to do with the fat suit. That, to me, that's a story of my life. Most of the time it has nothing to do with the fat suit. And I am wearing a fat suit. In like 10 years, I'm going to let people know this was all a bit. Didn't?

We're going to put that on the records, man. Yeah, we're going to put me taking my fat suit off 10 years from now on the records. Some female celebrity like four years ago did something where she was just like going on the street in a fat suit to see how from now on the records some female celebrity like did like four years ago did something where she was just like going on the street in a fat suit to see how people would treat her and everyone was like oh don't was it it was like why kaylee cuoco did it for a movie and it wasn't her and it was i was gonna say when it wasn't it wasn't gwyneth paltrow because gwyneth paltrow did it it was tyra was it tyra i think it was tyra was it Tyra? I think it was Tyra Tyra Banks yeah I think Tyra Banks like went to the sidewalk

in a fat suit to be like how will people treat me interesting Tyra girly yeah that's bad yeah well Tyra also did

that interview or not interview but that segment on her show where the paparazzi had been making fun of her for looking fat in a swimsuit

and she like pulled it up on the show and was like kiss my fat ass and she's like you know 130 pounds she's like a size two she's a bad angle she's a size two right right and like everybody who's attracted to tyra's like okay okay i would love to like what are you talking about that's not assault right i would i i would make out with tyra and i'm not even really into women at all it was tyra Banks that did the fat suit.

And she wore what I would argue is the worst outfit she could have worn with it. We'll put it on the Instagram. Yeah. Oh, this is bad. Okay, I gotta see it. Hold on, hold on. She couldn't have worn a worse outfit. Looking at the picture of Tyra.

Come on, Tyra. Where's the outfit? Oh, God. Why is she dressed like the secretary at your high school? Yeah, it's like she she really didn't do herself any favors and also like this is like disproportionate like her face is still just as skinny as it is she wore ugly glasses to to cap it off it's terrible i love this for her it's also so funny to look at like her hands her because she she clearly stopped

it at like her elbows right yeah yeah they didn't have the technology technology's come a long way technology and fat suits is still it's an ever-growing we put a man on the moon we're gonna put a fat suit person on the moon uh okay what next is on your records all right so i got i got i had some music on there i got some tv on there right i feel like i should put you know to round out the the entertainment i'm gonna put a movie on there which is my favorite movie of all time uh the truman show wow thank you for saying that interesting your favorite movie of all time why is it your favorite movie of all time do you think you know i hate ranking things when it comes to this is better than this you know and i hate that mostly from sports because like in today's day and age people do that with athletes all the time

and it's so nauseating um so i try not to do that as much as i can um so are there probably better movies that i've seen it was like you know yeah but i think the truman show is one of the first movies that i watched and i was like 11 or 12 when it came out where i was like that was so fucking good like you know like that like that first movie where you watch and it like and you could just tell like that you're watching like something that is like legendary or it's classic or it's like, you know, and that was one of the first movies. And it's just kind of stuck that nothing really can take that place. Not only that, because I love Jim Carrey growing up.

And so up until this point, you know, my Jim Carrey experiences in Living Color, Ace Ventura, The Mask, Liar Liar. And then all of a sudden, like, here comes the Truman Show. And I can't remember if I'm going into that thinking it's going to be a comedy. Probably not. But like the 180 of his performance. was just so stark and it was so grounded and it was so heartbreaking and it was such a study in our culture it was really i mean honestly like it was kind of before its time with how social media is now and like the circle that netflix show and stuff like that yes yes and it was such a great movie and like yeah i i just love it so it's definitely my favorite movie of all time i'm a huge jim carrey fan i think he's one of the best actors who doesn't get credit for being one of the best actors of our generation it took like what i think like it's like when you make like a self-facing video and you're like, oh, people just get this feeling.

The Truman Show is like, everyone's had the thought of like, what if we're just in like a game? What if I'm just being fucked with? Yeah, what if I'm just being fucked with? And it made it into like a very, it's a good movie, but it like also everyone can relate to like that thought feeling. Yeah. Which is really cool. I also feel like what you're saying is kind of, like in terms of people not giving Jim Carrey the respect he deserves on an acting level, it's kind of the same thing to me

with the Martin Lawrence stuff of The Big Mama's House of It All. It's like people just don't really respect comedy. If you're a comedian who wants to branch out, I feel like it's really hard because a lot of people are like, why could everyone think that they could do comedy? You know? Yeah, I think it takes people who are in the comedy profession or do comedy. Like I grew up in theater. So like I've done stage works, drama, comedy.

I've done it all. So like I have. So I know how hard it is to do all aspects of what we do you know and you know i think people who aren't in comedy mostly just the general fan just be like oh you're just making people laugh i make people laugh all the time it's like okay all right cool yeah all right yeah i'm glad you do i'm glad you're the funny person in your family uh you can't do what the fuck i do shut the fuck up you know like that so and i think like that's what happens with comedians. I actually got not an argument. I hate using that word when it was an argument. But I got into discussion with somebody about them saying how the Truman Show was our first time seeing Jim Carrey like bust his acting chops out and I kind of rebuffed

on that not only because like comedy is also your acting chops but fine I got what they were saying like we got to see him as something besides a wacky character Ace Ventura and I was like well actually his first instance where you got to see oh Jim Carrey

kind of got some depth to him was The Mask and here's why not because of the mask character but because of stanley ipkus that character was the complete fucking opposite of the green face mask and it had to be in order for that to play so well like right the stanley ipkus character is so grounded and not funny at all. But people forget about that because The Mask is such a silly movie. I was like, oh, this was the first instance where you can kind of see Jim Carrey was like, huh, maybe we can cast him in other things besides just Ace Ventura type comedies and shit like that.

And then Liar Liar came out. For me, it was Liar Liar. Liar Liar was like, was like oh that was one of my favorite movies growing up for me it was the cable guy which was also great that whole like late 90s early 2000s was like um the cable guy um uh me myself and irene do you remember that one yeah yeah i do remember that one yeah that whole little four-year chunk for jim carrey i feel was like all right let's get fucking weird let's get weird let's just he did he did the number 23 right yeah that was a strange time for him he also did what's in my top five another movie of his that's in my top five which is eternal sunshine of the spotless mind which is so

fucking good yeah so fucking good to this day i'll fight whoever decided that kate winslet deserved a best actress nomination for that movie and jim carrey didn't deserve a best actor nomination like he carried that fucking movie like it make no sense i'm not taking away from kate winslet yeah she deserved the. Yeah, you can't. If she deserved it when it was his vehicle, then he deserved it too. Right. Yeah, it was so weird. So weird. Who does decide that?

The Hollywood Foreign Press Association? I think so. We have beef with them anyway. Yeah, we do. There's like 89 of them. They're all white. They're over. I love them.

Unless they want to nominate me for something, in which case I love those guys. You know what? I'm going to be bribing them one day. I'll bribe them one day. I'll be like, I hate y'all motherfuckers, but let's take a trip to Hawaii. But let's hang out, yeah. But hey, there's this new restaurant opening up near me, and I'd love to take you to dinner. I'd love to take you guys.

I'd love to take you. I'd love to take you. My treat. My please, please put your wallet away. Please. All 90 of you. Oh, you know what we should do take a break oh my gosh we should take a break oh welcome bark is that always you're gonna do it now i did it once on accident and now it's a thing and now i think you do it every time i think it's a thing. And now I think it's... You do it every time. I think it's kind of cute. You don't think it's cute?

I didn't say that. Hey, you guys. We want to talk about... There's something on the original records that we want to play for you, Chiquis. And here it is. Here it is. So that translates to greetings to you, whoever you are.

We come in friendship to those who are friends. You know what? I love this. I love this because. Obsessed with this. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because, you know, there's always this notion that one of two things will happen if aliens come down. One, we'll either be friends and live in harmony, or two, it's gonna be

total destruction. And I think it'll be a mix of both. I think if the aliens that come are cool, then you know. Then it's friendship vibes. Then it's friendship. The Greeks said we wanna be friends with whoever is a friend, and if you're not a friend, we don't wanna be yours we don't want to be a friend and then the second habit that reminds me

of that meme where it's like you know like they show this black dude uh a picture of somebody going around town like killing people he was like yeah i'm definitely concerned but you know i packed that thing too so he come around this way you will get caught caught. You know, it's like, yeah. You come over here, starting some shit, you know, we're going for it. If you want to know, if you really want to know what will solve racism, sexism, misogyny, all the bad shit that goes on in this world, let some aliens come down to this motherfucker. And then everybody's going to be like, you know what? So unified.

You know, like motherfuckers, we're going to be unified as fuck. Yeah. Like white guys that fish doing USA in a bar, but all of us. Right. We're going to be like, come on, brothers. All this going world, world planet.

World, world, right. We all going to have world flags, like just fucking like it's gonna be like red dawn but all of us like it's not another country invading it's if they start skyrocketing into towns yeah i'm gonna be partnering up with like homophobic rednecks y'all got the guns i got the plan let's rock let's rock this this greeting is just like so terribly passive-aggressive the beginning is greetings to you we're good with that whoever you are is already pointed it's like it's like we haven't done much

research but i've never heard of you but go off it's like so you the u.s put this together and i guess went to like the other countries i assume and like asked them i think there was a meeting we should look this up and talk about it in the pop-out. But I think there was a meeting in New York at Cornell College where a bunch of people came to the U.S. and did the recording. On the original records, there are greetings to the universe in 55 different languages. NASA asked Dr. Carl Sagan of Cornell University to assemble a greeting and gave him the freedom to choose the format and what would be included. Because of the launch schedule, Sagan

and those he got to help him was not given a lot of time. Linda Salzman Sagan was given the task of assembling the greetings. The following quotes that we will read to you are excerpts by Linda Salzman Sagan from the book Murmurs of Earth by Carl Sagan and his collaborators that ultimately explained how these greetings came to be. During the entire Voyager project, all decisions were based on the assumption that there were two audiences for whom the message was being prepared. Those of us who inhabit Earth and those who exist on the planets of distant stars. We were principally concerned with the needs of people on Earth during this section of the recording. We recorded messages from populations all over the globe, each representative speaking in the language of his or her people, instead of sending greetings in one or two languages accompanied by keys for their decipherment.

We were aware that the latter alternative might have given the extraterrestrials a better chance of understanding the words precisely, though it would have raised the thorny question of which two languages to send. We felt it was fitting that Voyager greet the universe as a representative of one community, albeit a complex one consisting of many parts. At least the fact that many different languages are represented should be clear from the very existence of a set of short statements separated by pauses and from internal evidence, such as the initial greeting, Namaste, which begins many of the greetings from the Indian subcontinent. The greetings are an oral gestalt, in which each

culture is a contributing voice in the choir. After all, by sending a spaceship out of our solar system, we are making an effort to deprovincialize, to rise above our nationalistic interests and join a commonwealth of space-faring societies, if one exists. We made a special effort to record those languages spoken by the vast majority of the world's inhabitants. Since all research and technical work on the record had to be accomplished within a period of weeks, we began with a list of the world's most widely spoken languages, which was provided by Dr. Stephen Soder of Cornell. Carl suggested that we record the 25 most widely spoken languages. If we were able to accomplish that, and still had time, we could try to include as many other languages as we could. Bashun Kare, a senior physicist in the Laboratory for Planetary Studies, was responsible almost

single-handedly for the participation of Indian speakers. He personally called friends and members of the Cornell Indian community, explaining the undertaking to them, and asked for and received their cooperation. There were only a few disappointments, where someone had agreed to come to a recording session, could not, and forgot to let us know in time for us to make other arrangements. It wasn't always possible to find replacements at the last minute,

so there are some regrettable omissions. Swahili is one. We contacted various members of the Cornell Language Department, who cooperated with us on very short notice and provided numerous speakers. Even though school was ending and many people were leaving for summer vacations, some speakers were more difficult to find.

Sometimes it meant sitting for hours, telephoning friends of friends who might know someone who could speak, let's say, the Chinese Wu dialect. Often, people waiting to record would suggest names of individuals fluent in the very languages we were looking for. Immediately, we called those people, explained the project and our plight, and asked them to come at once.

Many people did just that. I see what you're saying, though. I see what you're saying. It is a little passive-aggressive. You know, it is a little passive-aggressive. But you know what? I'm okay with that. I'm okay with a little passive aggressive. I get, you know, it was a little passive aggressive, but you know what? I'm okay with that. I'm okay. I think that's how it should be.

This is not a drag. I want us to be passive aggressive to aliens. I don't want us to be too nice, too quick. And I don't want us to be too mean, too quick. Right. Also, I don't know much, if anything, about Greek culture. This could be extremely warm for them. For all I know, Greek people are pretty cold and they were like easter is like a big okay so you think they were holding back

yeah i think they were like all right because the greeks from what i know big like family celebratory culture i feel really comfortable taking swings about greek culture and being wrong i feel fine about that i do too you know i do too there are places that i wouldn't but greek i'm like nah i think like i you know i i do i do improv comedy and and you know there and you know there are certain groups who you just don't touch when you're on stage right right greeks are not one of those groups like you can you can touch greeks right greek isn't one of those groups but it's also not one of the ones you go to. It's not. Because no one really knows how to do an impression of a Greek person. Which is why it's the best one to mimic because you could just still play yourself and be like, but I'm Greek. We had my big fat Greek wedding and that's as much as we know about Greek culture.

Yeah. I would push back a little bit. Push it back. Push it back. Because, hey, my big fatreek wedding was huge for greek culture but can i also say i think sisterhood of the traveling pants when lena goes to greece sure but i wasn't focused on the greeks in that i was focused on blake lively oh well right i mean everyone wanted to hook up with blake lively in that movie but yeah she went to greece and she played soccer i've never seen those

i've never seen this movie but i do you don't have to no one's gonna make it thank you thank you i probably wasn't going to have a big crush on blake lively in which case i mean you know then there's other things i can watch there's other things yeah but she's at her hottest in is she okay the charlie fans she plays soccer she tan. She's cool. I have a really big thing for soccer. Yeah, I wouldn't recommend it. I wouldn't be walking around telling people to watch that movie. It was big to me when I was like

Straight. Yeah, it was huge to me when I was straight. And that was how I was keeping my cover was by telling people I'm into Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. Don't look at me. I'm watching Sisterhood of the Traveling P don't look at me i'm watching sisterhood of the traveling pants where i come from that's what that meant you know yeah what you watching sisterhood of the traveling plans all right man go get your pussy man go get your pussy go on go on

is when i went to provincetown which which is in Massachusetts in the Cape Cod area. I was there for Tennessee Williams. I was performing in the Tennessee Williams Play Festival. And my birthday fell during the time there. We were there for three weeks. And the place they put us up at was a cottage right off the fucking beach. And it was a little barbecue grill the fucking beach and it was a little

barbecue grill down there so we was like all right so the cast got together in our cottage and we cooked we cooked dinner we listened to music we drank too much uh we went on the beach it was so fun and then we decided at like one in the morning let's go ride bikes yes let's go ride bikes we rode bikes uh drunk as fuck on this island uh and the island is also like where the first like uh like where people first like settled into like the american area as well uh well one of the areas and we're riding along the mountain and we eventually was like let's get in the water let's go skinny dipping and we go skinny dipping in the fucking like ocean uh drunk as hell it's like three in the morning and it's just like 14 of us like

fucking just like riding bikes falling because we're trying to ride in the sand naked like running in and out of the ocean and shit it was just one of like my all it's my favorite birthday of all time it's just one of my all-time favorite memories uh of just so much fun it was just a blast it was a blast yeah you're gonna have to tell me if i'm wrong because i have never i've never been a theater person it feels to me like traveling theater company you're over there to perform you're all drunk you're on the beach you're skinny dipping folks are hooking up uh you know yeah we we um i don't want to talk about it keep my name out of this you know there's some stuff happens some stuff happened you know what i'm saying you know we felt we, we felt some, you know, the stakes got hard and the slopes got wet.

That's what I'll say. I'll say that. To not just say people were hooking up, but actually choose more explicit. To be like, I won't say if anything acted on it, but people were getting aroused for sure. Yeah, I'm not going to say people had sex, but there was moisture and hardness. There was some moisture and hardness going on. It was hard and wet. That I'll say for sure.

It was hard and wet. It was hard and wet. It was hard and wet. It was fun. I don't think you're supposed to endorse this, and so I won't, but riding bikes at night drunk is one of the best activities. You're not supposed to do it i get that dangerous i don't care okay i'm not doing it right now so you can't get me in trouble but it's so fun

it's very fun it's very fun and this was a little sleepy town too first of all provincetown is so great i would love to go back one day it is um it is primarily a um it's just right off like i said cape cod but it's primarily an island where people go like in the summer or some people live but it's also a lgbtq uh island essentially like it's a huge island come on where that's pretty much the main population so like So it was just so fun. When we first got there, we thought we were going to hate it. Not because of that, but because we was like, ain't no McDonald's here. Ain't no Starbucks and shit here.

Like, you know, where the fuck are we? It's this little town. People riding bikes in the streets. They was like, we give y'all all bikes. That's how you get around this town. We was like, this is going to be whack. Let's just get in here. Let's perform. Let's do our in here let's perform let's do

our shit let's go to the next city and it ended up being the best fucking stop uh like so many dance clubs so just fun it was fun it was fun that is the best too like when when you have really low expectations for honestly more often than not when i have high expectations for an experience turns out to be shit every new year's yeah oh god yeah but low expectations are incredible yeah yeah because you just end up having a if you either have the bad time you thought you'd had and you're just fine because you expected that so you're like yeah exactly or you have an incredible time and you're like wow this is just proof that I need to be open-minded. Seriously.

Skinny dipping is one of the best activities that exists. Yes. He hates it, but. Look, if you want to see me naked, there just needs to be a, I don't like it. We need to both be, I like to be naked around people who want to be action about it. Action it. See, I went to a friend's wedding and it was in Vermont, which like there's a weird rule in Vermont.

Everyone has to be naked. No, weirder. Weirder. It's legal to be naked publicly, but you cannot disrobe in public. So you have to leave the house naked. Okay. All right.

That's so bizarre to me. Well, disrobing is very sexy do people do it do people be walking around naked in vermont well yes but also like and i think this is at other colleges where it's not like legal but the colleges are just like this is the event but they do like the naked bike ride every semester oh my god yes i've i've can i can i detour us real quick to tell you this is your record yeah this is one of my favorite stories of all time. So I'm still living in Chicago at the time, actually. Thank you.

And I had just gotten back from Disneyland or Disney World. Disney World. It's 2012. So it was right before I'm about to move to L.A. I just got back to Disney World summertime. Literally the next day, I'm going to go see my mom. And I'm on my way to go see her. And, you know, I'm at a light.

And then I'm just in the happiest place on earth. Kids, blah, blah, blah. I get stopped at a light. And then I like see some bikers go by. Now, bike riding in Chicago is a big deal. Like bike riding is like in New York almost. Everybody bike rides. And then there's always bike like things like that too where people like big groups are always riding so i'm not so i see a couple bikes i'm like oh whatever which doesn't make sense to

me by the way cycling clubs are confusing to me right on yeah it's it's yeah it's very weird uh and then like and then like you know then for for a minute I noticed like bikes are still going. So now I'm starting to pay attention because now a couple of lights have changed. I'm like, all right, damn, I just had to get stopped. I just got stopped. And then I'm like, then I'm starting to notice. And I'm like, what is this? Is that some titties?

Yes. And then like, and then when I'm starting to realize like are people naked there's one woman comes by just like balancing on her bike one leg and just doing karate chops with her open like vagina just like up in the air just like yes i'm naked everybody and i'm like i just came back from disney world and I'm on my way to see my mom. I'm right. And I'm as wholesome as it gets in this moment. And I've just seen 400 naked bodies.

And it was, I mean, truly amazing. I can't. I'll never forget it. I'll never forget it. How could you yeah yeah that many naked bodies sticks with you i will say the the law about if you just see a naked person like walking out to get their mail it's not really very sexy but if you see someone in a robe walk out to get their mail and they stop at the street and they like take off a shoulder.

Yeah, but that. They start to. I mean. But then you're saying they always disrobe sexy. What if someone dropped trow really casually quickly? That's not. I think it's the juxtaposition of it all. I think, look, if a really hot guy was standing in front of me right now and just dropped his pants, no ceremony, that would be hotter to me than if a really hot guy just walked in front of me naked.

Does that make sense? No. I don't know. If Rihanna came and just was getting her male naked, I would be like, that's sexy. But you wouldn't rather see Rihanna come out in a robe and you're like, oh, I just saw Rihanna in a robe. But then she gets naked? That's so much more. That doesn't have an effect on me kind of not yeah kind of not because if you don't like if i see you naked and you just naked then i get to like oh naked body but if you start

disrobing and then i can't do nothing afterwards then i'm mad like right disrobing and naked it's just like now i think something's supposed to happen. Right. Like, you disrobing for me. It's a process, right? And you just disrobe. You strip for me. I can't throw no dollars at you. You ain't doing no lap dance. You just going back in the house.

All right. Well, I'm going to throw this to the listeners. Everybody listening, if your team disrobement, let us know. If your team already naked. I just think, okay, so say i go to the beach and i want to go swimming naked it's legal to do that but i but i can't i have to leave my house i have to commute naked you think that is like i don't see i don't see that having any play and it makes no sense to me that's that is that's very weird yeah i guess weird, yeah. I guess I'm an old soul.

I guess I'm an old time. I don't think that's how it is. I don't think that's how antiquity works. I guess I'm an old soul. Listen, Jacquees, we have a question for you. Oh, please, shoot. Please, please, please, please. If you could delete one thing from the records, from all of humanity, and before you answer.

Does not have to be war. Or famine. You know, hatred, malice, hunger, blight. Blight was famine, right? Is that a thing? Does that mean bad stuff? Sounds bad. Blight sounds bad where it could be anything.

Yeah. Just something casual. Like for me, it would be socks with toes. I hate that shit. Socks with, oh, where the toes are separate. To something casual. For me, it would be socks with toes. I hate that shit. Socks with... Oh, where the toes are separate. Toe socks. Yeah.

Okay. Michael Jordan's baseball career. I'm a baseball player now. Wow. Now you've said it. I would erase that. To go and play in the minor leagues. I would erase it

because if he doesn't go to the NBA, to play baseball and stays in the NBA, the Bulls win those two championships that Houston won. Two more rings. And there's two more rings. And then, you know, let's say they don't get locked out in 98 and they don't retire. It's very possible.

The Bulls didn't win every title throughout the 90s because of circumstances uh that were beyond their control like the team got broken up or michael jordan went to go play baseball if none of that happens right the bulls win all 10 fucking titles in the 1990s and there is no debate there is no debate on who's the greatest player of all time ever. Do you believe in the theory that he was going to be suspended from the NBA for his gambling stuff? And that's why he went to the MLB? Yeah. You know, I've even I've even done shows and podcasts about this where, you know, I believe the hype of the conspiracy because I thought it was fun and make sense.

And, you you know why else would he do it why would you go from being the greatest at something to being middle of the road at something else yeah you know this is also pretty close to the pete rose thing and the mlb and they just had to ban him from life the nba can't afford to ban michael jordan for life if it comes out so i believed it but i honestly and you know maybe I fell for the okie doke but what made me really change my mind was the documentary last year The Last Dance and and they talked about that and they talked about the fact that you know like Mike was talking about retiring before the Olympics in 92 and you know and then he also and then all

the media and that was also when he went from being wholesome michael jordan to people was like oh michael be gambling oh michael an asshole oh michael a bad player so and this is before social media so if you can imagine like being bombarded and like, trapped and social media isn't even a thing. Like, then you're really fucking in it. And I was like, okay. I can kind of see why this dude was just like, you know what? Fuck this shit. Fuck it.

I want to go get my money somewhere where people don't give a shit about me because I'm not the guy. Yeah. His dad just died. Like, the NBA, like fanship, it kind of turned on him. He was dominant. There are a lot of people that claim to hate their fame that I think are just

saying that because they think it's in vogue. Michael Jordan, I really believe that he hated that shit. Like I really believe like the way people fawned over him, he couldn't even walk out of a door because since since quitting, he's, like, chastened. He's very much in the spotlight. Is he? Yeah, in the sports world, he goes to, like, every big event.

He goes to every—he's around. Really? He goes to camps, like, every fucking month. Yeah, he's around. He's around, but—he's around, but—I would add a but that. I wouldn't consider him chasing fame, though. I wouldn't call him hiding from fame. I think there's other players that were just as good that are living much quieter lives than Michael Jordan is.

Michael Jordan goes to every major sports event. He runs all these public camps. Well, I mean, like there's all the players that were really good and doing stuff are still like making commercials and on TV, doing TV analysis and stuff where Mike is just an owner. So I can see him still going to think like games and things. But the one thing Michael Jordan doesn't do where fame is dictated nowadays is social media. So like he'll still do like public events and stuff like that. But if you're not on social media, but does like 2021. Yeah. Pippen's on social media. he yeah yeah i think so i'm pretty sure he is

also pippin be trying pippin be trying though pippin trying pippin on espn and shit pippin like doing podcasts and pippin like pippin out here in these streets pippin like wife is like a fucking like housewife like pippippi out here in these streets trying to like yeah where jordan is just like i don't want to do no fucking podcast or like like do no tv like analysis and all that shit i'm gonna just be michael fucking jordan he'll always be famous right so just by yeah by virtue of documentary true but also just did that whole documentary. True. Yeah, but that's legacy building. But even that was Michael Jordan was just like, because did you hear the story about why he wanted to do it?

No. It was after it was when Golden State was 73 and nine and they broke the Bulls record. Well, he's a cocky bitch. Exactly. And Michael was just like, oh, people starting to forget about how good we were. So like that's the talks that started to happen. But then LeBron came back in that finals that same year down 3-1.

And then everybody was like, LeBron is the greatest player of all time. This solidifies it. And as soon as he won on record michael jones like released the tapes like that was what he said it was like release the tapes and he was like oh you think you think so it wasn't even about fame it was just about i'm still the best motherfucker who's ever played basketball right so it's still just him being cocky as shit which we love which we love you don't listen i i fucks with it i think you're right i think you're right he will always like be famous and by virtue of him not just being in the crib he knows like a crowd is

gonna be around him but it's not like it was when he was playing where you know like you said when he would walk out the hotel room and there would be 40 fucking people like ready to walk with them step by step to like his car like i can only imagine i'd be mad i got mad when somebody recognized me on u-haul last month i'm a podcast i'm a podcast i do comedy on a couple tvs like i don't do shit like i'm leave him alone i'm an f-list celebrity you know and like I was like man leave me the fuck alone like and somebody people would you can't do shit

you gotta go you can't even grocery shop like and to be fair I apologized for recognizing you at U-Haul I said sorry

I know I know so to bring it up here and all I did was ask for a picture I don't know I just wanted a picture I just wanted a picture

which is why I accepted you guys apologize that's why i'm here right thank you for coming along you know this was a this was a good peace offering what jakeese what else uh would you put on your records all right so i had music tv show movie memory we got to put some food on there my favorite recipe of all time is called crispy onion chicken oh and i know that's made with the French's crispy onions, right? Oh, you know it is. I won't even make it if it's a generic brand.

Right. That's one of the things you do have to go name brand for. Yeah, I got to go name brand because they put the right amount of salt on it. They put the right amount of processed shit on it, and it's delicious. They know what they're doing. They know what they're doing. What is the recipe? It's so good.

What's the process? So the process, you usually use chicken breast. I even go down to, there's only two I use, either Tyson's or the Pavilion brand because theirs are juicy. They stay juicy after you cook them. You can also use chicken thighs too because chicken thighs stay juicy. Tyson, stay juicy. Right. Aha.

Free slogans for y'all, Tyson. So you put the chicken in a little thing, a glass bowl, a plate or whatever. And then you make the mixture. Right. And the mixture is butter, garlic salt, Worcestershire sauce, ground mustard, pepper. Absolutely. And then you mix all that together. And then you drizzle half of it on it then you put the crispy onions on there you drizzle the rest of it on it you pop that boy in the oven take it out have a good ass chicken meal it is so goddamn good yes i love it i love it do you
