Whiteys on the Moon

uped me, because white he's on the moon. I was already paying fifty a week with Whitey on the move, Taxes taking my whole damn check, junkies making me a nervous wreck, price of food going up. And as if that ship wasn't enough, rat doune bit my sister nail with Whitey on the moon, her face and arms begin to swell. White He's on the moon. Was all the money I made last year for Whitey on the moon? How come there ain't no money he Whitey's on the moon.

Y'all know, I just about had my field. Whitey on the Moon. I think I'll see in these doctor bills airmail special Whitey on the Moon. Whitey on the Moon. Gil Scott Herring nineteen sixty something. Hoo, politics y'all how you so hood right now? Politics y'all so hood? So if you ain't figured out this episode's about this new

space race, uh Whitey on the Moon. I think back now, after hitting and thinking about just most of the teens, um well the hat second half of it up to now, it really made me appreciate, just honestly, how tumultuous the sixties were. Like I think even as somebody who's our parents where my parents were live in the sixties, you know what I'm saying, And my dad was a panther, I say, at all the time, just all that was

happening at that time. I think I'll ever really connected the dots, you know what I'm saying, The summer Love, what was happening in San Francisco, the monery, the birth of the freaking music festival, the space race, mad wars, Like how much was happening at the same time. I mean, dot someone shot the president, like the president was assassinated,

Like so much happened. I don't think I really appreciated it until now, what it must have really felt like to live in such a time, because all this was happening on top of each other. So now I'm like, damn that must you know. That's why I said it on Crooked You know, twenty teens looking like the sixties is crazy because of how much upheaval and tumultuous. Anyway, I don't think I ever connected the dots of like until my pops put this record on Whitey on the Moon.

I still have it. I had my dad's records. It's like one of my prize possessions. When he caught back from Vietnam, he was just buying records with I don't think I ever really appreciated, like, yo, when we were, you know, spending billions of dollars to try to beat Russia to space. It was the same time as a civil rights movement. You forget that it's all happening at

the same time. So if you was there and you like, we're living in this extreme poverty, I'm launching, you know, releasing wild dogs on us just because like, you know, we're trying to sit at a diner. All of a sudden, you got money for space, money again, like you're going to the damn moon. You know, I just never I never, like, that's what's so dope about artists like putting all that together. Early on in my career, uh, I had a chance to kind of do this for that white evangelical world

with the precious Puritan song. I remember somehow another I landed myself at this conference um where they were just extalling all of the amazing things that the Puritans have given, you know, the world, and I'm looking around like, n that's during chattel slavery. Do y'all notice is happening at the same time, Like why y'all talking about these people? The hell is happening right now? And I just was like, y'all do you not know, like the hell a y'all

talking about? You know? So I put out this bone called press Spuritans, you know, and that really kind of put me on the map. It's crazy, well the map with white people anyway. Now, having said all that, you know, we got billionaires going to space this amazing space race um. And before I get into the specifics of it and all the hood comparison of like the point I'm trying to make, let me just off the top say it's fucking awesome, guet, Like it's still dope. The idea that

like Damn we've finished. They going to build a creable on space in on the mood. We're trying to get to Mars. Mo me like we really go Actually, we're really going to go to Mars. It's crazy, you know what I'm saying, Like, so let me just let me first acknowledge the or just the preteen kid just anybody would imagination that's like, Yo, this is it's dope, you feel me. Secondly, my book publisher, my Terraform book, my

poetry book. Uh, they've always been kind of like asking for ways that I could promote the book on the pot and I kind of was just like, it's kind of two different worlds, Like I just don't know how it would work. This is finally a way to bring in some of my other work, my poetry and literature and music into this show because this is topic like is dabbled in my book. Okay, so here we go.

Let's get into it. So I'll be talking to some of the homies who have like moved in here, uh here is in Los Angeles from other parts of the world country, um, you know, from Hood's other places or just just other cities period. And the one thing that they say about uh. Los Angeles is like you don't ever know. It's hard to tell when you in an active community, Like what is like is this do they shoot over here? Is it gangs over here? Because this

this looks like a nice neighborhood. You know, it's a lot of it's a lot of spots like that where like, no, it's it's very active. It's just I think the Inland Empire is a perfect example of that. The Inland Empire is like it's an hour east of Los Angeles, proper for those who aren't from here. So it's these this it's a sprawling suburb, but it don't feel like a suburb if they look like nice. Its parts of it

that are amazing, but then there's other parts. Did you get in certain parts of the I E. And it's like, especially it's funny when you moved out there and you're still trying to navigate all these all this gang life, and you're like, man, I could have stayed in l A for all this. If I still gotta I still gotta figure out what's set this neighborhood from and this nice two story house. You know, you just like, dog,

what's happening? You know? The Crenshaw District. Like, there's part of the Crenshaw District that are these are very nice houses, you know, but don't let them nice houses to fool you. You you could die in these streets. My homeboy, uh DJ Effecto, rest in peace. My my best friend he passed away, uh a couple of years back. He lived

in the west side of Long Beach and in his neighborhood. Like, listen, I think it's a nice these are like nice houses, but you're in you're in a hood, You're in a turf like, so you can't just be you have just be sitting on the porch. You know. The question is like why, And I think we talked about this once before where families get the same idea anybody else does that, Yo, we're gonna move out to this nicer neighborhood. And but

their kids is like part of the set. So they just go out there and set up shop and start recruiting. You know this this it's an untapped neighborhood. It's it's it's uh, it's the wild wild West. It's the Great Frontier. There's so much money to be made, there's so many licks to hit because ain't nobody out here, and and and since it belongs to nobody in terms of like street stuff, since it belongs to nobody, since I'm here first,

it now belongs to me. But if you step back and you go, man, people already live here, it's like it's rather colonial. You get out there and you you plant your flag. I mean that's the idea to show that that Jill Politics gang bang. And you just go plant your flag and now it's yours. You subdue it, you know what I'm saying. If there are people there there, you conquer like uh yeah, you just I mean, you conquered who's there, and you claim it for yourself, you

know what I'm saying. Like I would say that's right or wrong. I'm just saying, we understand it. But the best place to conquer is a place that ain't nobody at you know, you get to build it from scratch. Now you're not I mean, you ain't hurt nobody, you know what I'm saying, ain't nobody here, there's just you get to just the whole thing's yours. Now we say that about neighbors. There's nowhere on earth like that where there's literally nobody there unless you're talking about the middle

of the ocean. But then it's but who owns the ocean? Ain't that a crazy question? Why do we even think in those terms? Is who own owns the ocean? I mean, it's it was here before. How do you own How are you gonna own the ocean? There's parts of the ocean. There's only one part of the ocean. It's off it's in between New Zealand and Antarctica that all of the nations got together and agreed, okay, let's not touch this.

There's there's a documentary on it called the Last Ocean, and it's this spot that actually Chilean sea baths come from um which is why they cost so much. But they're not really Chileans. They're called toothfish really, And so if you want to as an active protest, never ordered that because it's coming from this part of the ocean that we all agreed we wouldn't fish in. I mean again, go go see it, Go see the docks called the Last Ocean. Anyway, do you ever step back and think, like,

how do you own the ocean? Like how do you stay clean to it? And for what why you want to own the ocean? What the resources we can't drink the water, but you eat the fish and up under that might be oil. I mean, did we not see the Gulf of Mexico catch on fire. It's it's resources, you know, you you you control the product you if it's yours. Now apply that logic to space. Who owns space? You should be saying, what the hell kind of question? Is that? What you mean? Own space? But is it

that crazy of a question? Uh? Somebody owned the electricity, somebody on the water, somebody on the air, somebody owned the heat. Somebody own the vegetables, somebody own our food, somebody own the trees. Who owns the moon? You should be going, how can you own the moon? Well, it's I guess whoever gets there first, whoever puts their flag in first, owns it. Is that I mean? Is that what we're doing? What about Mars? It's a dead planet? Is it a dead planet? Do you think this is

really altruistic? That we're really just like, for the sake of mankind, trying to be interplanetary? Is that? I mean? Is that really? What is? Ah? We're just looking for It's just like I always moved to suburbs because looking for a nicer house, like or is there some money to be made use your antenna's? I think you know the answer. I mean, what brought these European explorers to Africa and then chipped us off to the Caribbeans? Like just why why do all these African countries speak speak

French and Portuguese? Because they just came there and planted a flag. You know what I'm saying, Like this, this is how we treat our planet. I don't know what made us think we would treat any other planet any different. Now here comes a plug because I thought about this and I wrote a poem about it. So this is the first time in my I heart media history that I'm gonna mix these two worlds, my music and poetry

world in my podcasting world. This poem is called if We're not careful to next cert from my book terror Form Want Did you hear the pages turned? Because I am reading out of you know, if we're not careful, Mars will be just another gold rush, another pre Columbian America, scraping, raping, scratching, gouging, making up lines, then screaming mind into newly made oxygen, tapping planetary veins in search of arrogance. In the form of rocks imaginary wealth. You know, the real millionaires of

the gold Rush were the shovel salesman. I think we're going about this all wrong. Mars. It's gonna be another East India trading code spilling Mars spice across the most pristine of space gates till somebody start a war over stuff to just come out the ground because someone used what come out the ground to buy the ground. You know, the real things that funded the Renaissance was the forests the Atlantic Ocean. You wrong, mom, Money does grow on trees.

Trees are money. We just ain't getting them because you're killed them to build the KaDee. Jules gentrified our saviors before me and you could get out the nigger cords. Listen, I ain't salty hell salt for sale to a refritive act like standing rock protesters weren't absolutely correct. Lakota water sources stained in earth blood history got bars rhyming like a mug. You know, if we're not careful, our next

friendships will be just another goal Rush. People are soul, food, utility, transactional, possessive. You know, if we're not careful, our marriages just another goal rush people for pleasure, lust, identity. It's been my finding we've seen to respond better at crisis than we do warning. And I'm starting to wonder about that first part. But if the visa ever got first, it with body

that beat. If we're not careful, our own health will be just another goal rush YouTube, busy taking advantage of you, to even enjoy you, to realize your quote unquote bucks to give are a fossil fuel, a non renewable resource. Yes, there's enough of you to go around, but where is your code? Everything ain't for everybody. When's the last time you told someone no? Even when the fag was oh so yes? Why are there chunks of you floating around the farmers and stock market? You couldn't bring your full

self to a moment even if you tried. But I tell you what I know. The dirt always wins Trees when they're ready, split sidewalks, expanding their shoulder blades. Earth as Mars long after us. We'll be fine, but you need a break. We need each other, and although you don't owe us anything, we're just lucky to be in your orbit. If we're not careful, Mars will be just like the dead Earth we just left. I'm gonna say

thank you as if y'all learn in person. But for the sake of the book, I was using the metaphor of what's happening outside of us to bring it into what's happening inside of us, to not just see not only the planets just a source of of resources just for us to take, but to also see ourselves that

way and did not see each other that way. That like even your own energy and your your gifts, your talents are just like man, you know sometimes you need to break like, don't treat yourself like that, like be climate friendly and carbon neutral to your own heart. Also, you know, I'm saying that was kind of the extended

metaphor for that. But the point I was trying to make was like, now that private companies are shooting off into space, like what would motivate rather than dude, that's rad a Bezos Branson a musk to do this stuff. And I'm like, when you get it's a gold rush, you gotta get there and get yours. But even more than just digging the resources out of the ground, here's what y'all are seeing. These people ain't looking for gold

only they're also shovel salesman. If I could build the boat to get you to the moon, I'm gonna be much more wealthy than whatever you can get out of the moon because it ain't but so much in there. Okay, the modern space race, uh so Al Jazeer has a pod called to Take and they did a really good recent um sort of breakdown of some of the specifics

of what we're looking at. Now for our case, I'm gonna go through some of the specifics, but I want to talk about, like one, using your antennas to understand like why they're doing this, and then to how this affects us here on Earth, like what difference does it make for us? And and you know what I mean when I say us, I'm talking about you know the last side you feel me ow to wise. Now, let's let's drill down. So we're not talking about exploring space

per se. We're talking about how we are exploring space. And remember we've been there before. When we talked about the pissing contest of the space race in the nineteen sixties, it was all around the Cold War. It was really just just trying to flex and show like the flex wasn't necessarily about the fact that we can get to space. But it's like an if we could do this, what you think we could do if we threw a bomb

at your hood? You know what I'm saying. So there was that going on, this new space race coming out of a lot of ways, Silicon Valley, so this is more colonial wild wild West, Nigga is there's too much of a lick here, like let's go. But once we got to space for the first time, the thought crossed everybody's mind, like, yo, we should probably make some rules about up here, you know what I'm saying. So there was this thing in nineteen sixty seven. It was called

the Outer Space Treaty. Believe it or not, we talked about space law. It like it's a brave new world. This nineteen sixty seven. It was a treaty, the Outer Space Treaty. It was thirty one nation signed on. Now, granted these are nations. It's crazy all of and stuff I've been trying to tell y'all as far as like the Global South, as far as or the global Hood, as far as like corner boys and and connects and

what the lick read. All this stuff is gonna all fold in on itself and you're using all of your your antennas, everything, all of it is applied to this moment right now. So thirty one nations signed on. They were saying that outer space is for the benefit of all countries, despite their resources, and for the growth of all mankind. You say mankind because it was I mean it was a sixty And this rule that like you can't put no bomb in space. No one can own

a celestial body. To a question before, like who owned the moon? They we made a law back in nineteen sixty seven. And because it's funny, because it's like we're just one species on one random planet and we're making laws about the universe. Man, like you ever, dog, you ever think so highly of yourself that you can create laws around That's like the ants, that's the roaches in in the ground arguing over who owned the kitchen, like it's not yours. But you don't get to argue over

none of this. But that's what we was doing. Some would argue, if it's enough roaches is like, dog, you can have it. That's nasty. We're just gonna move anyway. Uh So, no one gets to own a celestial body. The only person that can own a celestial body is my wife. She owned my celestial body, my body heavily. This is corny as hell. I'm sorry, but this was a game of nations, right because the GDP to be able to afford to go to space took the entire

budget of a nation to try to pull off. Now we got four five people that got more individual money than in time than fifty sixty nations. Base Host Brandson Elon Musk and then their personal wealth is more than entire countries. So that's a game changer. Now, as a fun fact, China actually has more billionaires per capita uh than any other nation. But well we'll talk about that a little later. Now. Dr Lucy uh Walkowitch, she's a

space ethicist, uh researcher, works for NASA. Just brilliant, brilliant lady, she's uh, she helped us kind of navigate some of this stuff. So where we at right now. NASA has this thing called the Artemis. We're gonna build this thing called the Artemis, which is supposed to be like a base camp on the moon. Around doesn't matter, it's just we want to get there first. And then why build a moon base? Well, you build a moon base, because there's this thing on the Moon that they think is

they're called helium three. Helium three. If we get to it, it's enough on the Moon, if it's actually there, to power the entire Earth for two centuries. Like this, we talked about stuff. This stuff is like a billion dollars a ton, because there is some on Earth, but it's so hard to get to. They say the moon full of it. We don't know, and we don't know what happens if we take it out the moon. But it's way too much money to be made up there. There's

numerous ways to serve funds. There's a lick up there, and we need to go hit it. We need to hit it now. So Artemis, now again, who get there first get to make the rules. So we put together this thing called the Artemis Accords, and it's these mining laws and most of the G twenty has signed up to be like, all right, once we get down there, we're going to acknowledge the nineteen sixty seven outer space things. Nobody gets to own it, but whatever I get out

the ground get to be mine. Ain't that crazy? I don't own the moon, but what I get out the moon I mean I did the work to get it out there. I came all the way to this place to get it. Like it gets to be mine, so I get to claim sources resources that I get from the celestial body. Now most of the you know, United States, South Korea, Germany, UK, everybody signed onto a Guess who ain't signed on China and Russia, China, Rus I'll tell you this gangship they like, Nick, fuck your artemis. I

don't care you think you'll be there first. They building their own research facility. They said they want to be there by though, We're gonna get up there and set up our own shop. Do what the hell we want to do? Now what does that have to do with these private companies? Well, right now, how most of these companies work is you get these big contracts, so basically you just become the plug. SpaceX has been the plug

for a long time. Basos. They just trying to sell the creation of the ships to NASA for NASA to go and you just played it a low. It's like it's almost like the old school, um where to the my thing where the g's move in silence, like I don't need to be out here being off flashy I just need to secure the bag, so y'all use my rocket to get to space. I say the rocket, But I don't need to like everybody don't need to know

it comes from me. I just need to be able to floss high posts to be like I just earned this billion dollar contract and that's my thing up there. It's like, I don't care if y'all know, as long as the streets know. And NASA actually chose SpaceX because the ship that they're using to get up to get up to the moon, they said, bace X cut the costs, n so you didn't make it cheaper, so they didn't

earn this thing. But now it's like like anybody else, it's like, what's the point of having all this money? If I can't stunt, if I can't floss, if I can't flex, I ain't got no grill. I gotta keep it all quiet. No, no, homie, that's us going to the moon. No no, no, my name is Eli Musk. That's my plane. Now you know what, and we could do it ourselves. We don't even need NASA. Uh, you can't. You can't. Look, what's the point that, what's the point of being rich? Can't show nobody. You know what I'm

talking about. That's the cornerboys and plugs there. You feelious like you could lay low, But I mean, but if I lay it's the point of doing this work. I gotta lay low. But if you don't lay low, you become a target. So that mean what's happening here is the game of Thrones out this mug. So now you got all these like plugs kind of fighting over like, well, I mean, do we really got to go through NASA? You feel me like maybe we could go I selves,

hit this, lick ourselves. If we're building the rocket to get there, what the hell I need not so for you're telling me it's something that could power the planet for two d years up there, Well, then what the hell are we're waiting for. Some of our families looked at the suburbs and went, oh, them is nice houses. Other people looked at it and was like, oh, there is money to be made out here, and we just

gotta lock it down. Now, when you lock a spot down, uh, you also got to hold it down because trust me, the op is on the way. How you lock it down, how you enforced space law, how you get everybody gret especially if you got Russia going to funk your laws and they get you on own this ship it's the moon. Well, the question is what what happens in our hoods violence? That's what happens in our hoods. Hell, That's what happens in any colonial situation. Somebody come over and say, I

claim this in the name of so and so. You like, who the hell is so and so? I don't acknowledge your king? Well, how you're gonna make me acknowledge your king? When they got like to see you try cut? I mean, that's what happens here. Buck your hood borders and then we repping our section Like that's kind of ain't that the lane? So you, as a civilian like me, you woke up in the turf war like all of a sudden,

you know what I'm saying. If if you can't hold down the block, somebody now holding out that block, you just find out my nigg Like you didn't walk into a war zone. You know, you better learn the rules again. So that's kind of like what's happened. That's that's us, just regular ass Americans that are like, wait this, y'all gonna fight over the moon. Damn Nick. When my family got a tax return and we moved out to uh,

the Inland Empire. It was obviously for you know, a better life, but it was like, you know, our son is of age, like we're trying to get him out of that life. Little did we know when we got there the life was about a couple of years out of being there too. So why wouldn't it happen in space? Hell, it's already happening. Every step that gets to that is already happening. But we promised the nineteen seven we wouldn't put no weapons up there. Come on, y'all, use your hair, Antennis,

you're telling me everything out there. Do you remember what happened in the first Goal Rush? You remember squatters rights, you know, and um and then abandoned like gold mines and all this stuff. You don't think violence follows this type of pursuit, fam Of course it does. And what's crazy is we don't know what the hell happens if you take something out the moon. They get like, are you gonna change the tides? Because I'm not gonna be I'm not being scared or nothing. I'm just saying, have

y'all thought this through? Like you get just be taking stuff out of something that regulates the tides. My nigge, Like, I hope y'all thinking this through for you start taking stuff out of this thing. But ultimately, remember we're talking about countries that can actually afford to do this. So maybe this further divides the wealth gap between the global North and the global south. What does this mean for us? Here? Nick,

and you got access to moon energy? Like it's about to turn into a movie out this mug where like the wealth between the rich and the Poe fam. Well, you have to ask yourself what did the Cold War mean for us? Then? Did I gain any rights? Was my lot of life any better? Did watch money go out of our communities into space? Did our daddies and granddaddis get sent off to a ward they couldn't possibly win? But was there gains from what we got from space?

I mean, I don't know. I know a lot of technology from military and and NASA has came down to our everyday life. I'm not This isn't the the pod to talk about what those things were, but it is the pod to say it is. I wonder what conflict our kids are going to sign up for now? Trump talking about Space Force ain't as funny. It was funny at first. Now it's like in the same way that no one could possibly consider gangs in the suburbs. Oh man, they don't shoot out there. Yet they do, at least

in California. They shoot out there. You know Anaheim in Orange County where where where Disneyland is. It's there's some vatos down there, and they don't Anaheim nicknames anti crime like they it's real out there. Don't think because it's nice and pristine that they can't go down. It's space, but it could go down. But the question you have to ask yourself is what effect do these titans, these men who can move entire countries out of their own pocket.

Should they decide that infrastructure programs, you know, community developments that are targeted towards Should they decide that the U s a i D The money that we're sending to to the global South, just like what you know Bill Gates did with the Gates Foundation. Which I'm not saying this isn't a type recorder dragging it, but it is a point to make that he just decided that Africa's AIDS problem was his to fix, and he just went out there and started to circum sizing African men, but

then didn't tell them about condoms. They thought the circumcision would like end the spread of aids. You just decided that's what you're gonna do. In his In his defense, there as a lot of people that didn't die from malaria from his work. But why this one man get to decide because he just thinks it's cool what this entire country do where these resources are allocated. You're like, well, that's not gonna happen. It's in a democracy. Nick, Do you know how much money we talked about right now?

Do you understand if someone can get you on Mars for yo block? Because somebody can put on for yo block like that, You let them do what they want. Because what if these these bezos is these these these bill Gates and them these what if they lived in Russia? Do you know how salty we would be as a nation. China and Russia got these dudes out there, and you can't flex no more, You can't talk about your economy

no more because these billionaires is serving your billionaires. I'm saying, our nation has no incentive to stop this from happening because it's too much of a flex and for them, everybody wins because if we use the goal rush model, you're telling me, I get to sell you to shovel and keep the gold. This is a win win. You know, the Levi Strauss company, Levi's, the Denham, the Jeans, they got their starting to goal rush making. Dinnam millionaire made

more money than anybody else up there. Digging became the plug. There's no point in paying attention to anything else. If you could hit a lick that hard, What the hell you care about? What the global South doing? What the hell you care about police reform or infrastructure or reparations or any of that. What the hell you care about that? I'm on moon. I just built a house on Mars. Buck your life. They could get like me, sound to me like that's our future. Maybe Gil Scott was on something.

Rat dun bit my sister. Why he's on the moon now. As a parting thought, let's get meta here. I think if we think about, like how the modern world has been terraformed, another plug, how we shape the culture into the way we see it now, it's got us really thinking the modern nation state, capitalistic sort of Keynesian economics,

colonial imperialism is the way to approach outer space. And if the premise of this show is like all the geopolitics are just like growing up in the hood, then my question for anybody who's been crushed by a colonial empire, or anyone who was either active in gang life and survived it, or someone who was affiliated or just lived out there looking back, there's a lot of stuff that we appreciate it. I love that. I'm like, Yo, it's our culture, That's what it is. You know what I'm saying, Like,

I'm proud of it. We are proud of who we are. I'm proud of where I came from. But is that like that's really how we want to move through the future. I mean, I'm personally a product of gang intervention, of O G S who came out of jail. And y'all know who Big You is. I man invoke him. I don't know him personally, but programs like what he put together. He put together like an inner city football program. But he's like, hey, man, you don't have to do what

I did. You know what I'm saying, like, rep your block, It's all good. I love you'all, get it. You know what I'm saying, but you ain't gotta you ain't gotta go my route, Like there's other ways to do it. I'm a product of that of like O G is

coming back. Hey, my Sunday school teacher, My eighth grade Sunday school teacher, like tells you, I grew up with about those You know what I'm saying, Like they foods was out there, and what they was trying to say is like maybe this ain't really I mean, we get it saying now how elier than now, But I'm just saying, like, maybe this ain't the best way to approach this life. So I'm saying, I mean, yeah, the amount of money that sort of free market capitalism has generated for those

who have succeeded in it is incredibly astronomical. Don't get me wrong. I like the fact that I live in a country with running water is pretty much something I don't even think about. But something I do think about it is like how we got there? Whose backs was this built on? And it's this really the cultural theory

that I would imagine for us. Later, I saw a New York Times article about adults choosing to not have kids and that like the birth rate has dropped so much, and it's almost like, well, I guess if you put people under crushing debt that there's no way to ever get out of debt. While the housing market it's triple what it what it was when we was kids. After seeing two economic failures, you think maybe somebody would make the calculation that, like I just can't afford to have to.

What I'm trying to say is maybe this ain't the way we should approach space if it ain't really helping us on Earth. The niggas is still getting shot in the street. You know what I'm saying. I'm not saying don't explore space. That's amazing. I'm just saying, maybe this ain't the mindset we should have about doing it, because look, if it's just the ain't bust, we bust going there and drop your flags, set up shot and hit this lick. I'm trying to tell you that leave a lot of

dead bodies. Listen. I'm not saying a rocket to Mars is not awesome, just saying you don't get to just make up lines and scream mind on. It doesn't have to be this way. Okay, post PostScript for real, we've done this time. Last statement I promised Bezos. Rocket was it? There was a giant penis? Right, y'all all saw that that was it was a big old penis. That rocket he took a rocket. It didn't there was a pene. It looked like a penis. Like, I'm not bugging right,

like y'all all saw that? Was that not the most freudian thing I've ever seen? And then to push the joke even further, he ain't finished the job. The man ain't actually make it into space on his giants space penis. And I can only come up with two conclusions with this.

Either A he knew exactly what he was doing and approved it the whole time, or B he didn't see it and nobody on his staff loves him enough to tell him that that looked like a penis, or they scared of him, or they just honestly don't like that man. And it was like you don't pay me enough, NICKI look go ahead and embarrass yourself. Yeah, right in the space on a big old dick. That was a penis.

I just thought that was the like, this is so freudy, and this is like we're in a simulation dog like you The jokes right themselves all right, really we're done this time, y'all.
