And it's not like the money that was allocated to this trip. they are mad that it's misallocated and could have gone to like charity or like the ukraine or gaza instead like what's the rationale there well yeah that bezos is bezos is rich enough that he can send a bunch of foids to space and also do a bunch of philanthropic endeavors and plus his ex-wife has half his bag and she's like spending it on democratic causes so but yeah he's

not doing the right kind of philanthropy via donating to the trump campaign and we're testing how big naturals float but yeah i wouldn't i was gonna say you couldn't pay me but i guess if you paid me i'd do it Yeah, probably. I'd do the pot in space. It would be funny if we did the pot in space. It would be really funny. We'd be like, this sucks. This is unimpressive. This is overrated. It's narcissistic up here.

Going to spaces for narcissists? Why do you have to look down on the whole earth? Who do you think you are? Why are hoes so mad? Why can't a bunch of other hoes go to space? You do it too. It's Emily Ratajkowski, Olivia Munn, Olivia Wilde. Both. Jessica Chastain and like Amy Schumer. Yeah, it's like all like attention whores. Is your shopping addiction not contributing to the decline of the environment? Like, come on.

it's yeah like you girls know that you're getting all those like ups and fedex deliveries of like gift bags from brands all the time around the clock I mean, that's, yeah. I get it. It costs a lot of money. You know you're taking Ubers to your dermatology appointments. Mm-hmm. But yeah, it's a lot of money. It's a lot of resources for like a vanity trip. But there's worse, you know.

You know, Eli had a really good take on it. They didn't kill anybody. They didn't go to Ukraine. He was saying that like... In a way, there's something almost nostalgic and uplifting about it because, no pun intended, because it's very aesthetic. It's like a highly aestheticized production. Like the moon landing. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, the images are pretty bleak. Yeah, they're like unfortunate. I have a bunch that I saved on my phone. Yeah, this is them in their spacesuits.

sanchez's absolutely harrowing face yeah that's them in space that's katy perry kissing the ground That's her. She's like giving a blowjob to the ground. A little butterfly. Yeah, it is like frivolous, but it is... It's not nothing. Yeah, and it's not the worst thing. I gave up my astronaut dreams after my rape to fight for survivor rape. Your astronaut dreams? Why can't you just become an astronaut?

Well, because she was derailed. Like at this point, like if you can write a memoir, you can probably figure out a way to become an astronaut. Again, polio moment. Why were you at that frat party? Just saying. I know that's... what we do here at red scare pod but i just really i gotta summon the milk really what do you mean we bash yeah rape and sexual assault survivors yeah And call their credibility into question. I am going to call her credibility into question. Or like, even if she was raped.

She's leveraged it into a decade long. You know what I really don't get about rape survivors? If something that gruesome and harrowing happened to you... Why would you want to frame your whole identity around it after the fact? Wouldn't you just want to move?
