Moon Landing Or Movie Set?

Transcript

SPEAKER_02 0:49

Let's go. Can't hear it. Well, hi everybody.

SPEAKER_01 0:56

Hi, everyone.

SPEAKER_02 0:57

What's going on? Uh, yeah, we're doing something a little bit different tonight. Skip happens on the road, so to speak. And um, tonight we're live from the Wildcat, which is in uh upstate New York, Syracuse. This is where we do a lot of country shows. But um, you know, I was talking to the owner. I said, you know, I want to take the podcast out on the road, and he said, Why not do it at my place? Well, here we are. It's a wildcat.

SPEAKER_00 1:22

Yes, right in Camelis.

SPEAKER_02 1:24

Do you know why it's the Wildcat?

SPEAKER_00 1:25

Why is it the Wildcat?

SPEAKER_02 1:26

Because we are in a school district uh by the name of West Genesee, and they are the Wildcats, and they're the Wildcat. And as you can see, the colors uh you can see some of the gold behind it.

SPEAKER_00 1:37

Well, you can see Camillus behind us. Is this the oh, this is the school?

SPEAKER_02 1:40

Well, no, oh no, it's not that's the octagon house.

SPEAKER_00 1:43

That's the octagon house.

SPEAKER_02 1:44

And the octagon house was part of the underground railroad way back in the day. Very cool. If you know your history, I do not so well I do to a certain extent.

SPEAKER_00 1:53

Yes, if you lived it, you know it, right?

Why Intimate Venues Feel Different\n

SPEAKER_02 1:55

Yeah, exactly. Um so here we are, and um, I don't know, hopefully you can hear us. Let me put the chat up because if you you're watching uh thing a little bit different. We're also gonna be on location tomorrow night, just to give you a heads up right now. Uh, we're gonna be at MVT Bank Stadium. Stadium we have an artist coming in, and uh, we're gonna take her to the ball game. But we let her watch the game, we're gonna find out what she's all about, and we'll be live from the stadium. So that's kind of cool as well. Very exciting. Yeah, what a show, though. You know, um, you know what we're gonna talk about today.

SPEAKER_00 2:31

We were talking about yeah, talking about crazy things that we may have seen on television, but I kind of want to go back to this event right here in Camillas, okay, like this place right here. I want to talk about the real cool thing about this place, especially for us when we work in radio, is that normally when we go to events, we're going to amps, we're going to theaters, we're going to really big um venues per se. And then when you come here, it's it's closed, it's very, it's like you get to sit, you get to to hear the artist. So it's much different than the other things that you get to to go to. It's very intimate. Yeah, it is intimate.

SPEAKER_02 3:07

And when we bring the artist in, you get a chance to uh if you're in upstate New York or you know, we're doing an event, come out to the Wildcat, they've got a stage, and it's very intimate, as I mentioned. And and the artist will come down and they'll hang out with you, they'll sit with you, they sign a lot of autographs. Yes, this is the place pictures.

SPEAKER_00 3:25

Yes, yes, this is the place I see more pictures, more autographs. Um really cool. I just wanted uh to give a shout out to this place.

SPEAKER_02 3:33

Absolutely. Big shout out to Dan Tome. He is the owner. Uh, tonight, chances are he's probably at the ball game, although he's uh he's a uh Phillies fan, so but he's but he's also a but he's into baseball big time, big time.

SPEAKER_00 3:48

Well, there's sports on everywhere, there's TVs all over the room that we're at. I mean, I see softball, tennis, baseball, horseback riding. There is literally everything up on the TVs right now. So I love that.

SPEAKER_02 4:02

You know, if you do uh let's say you you are from the area and you check out the Wildcat, if you go to the back of the room, you're gonna see like a bookcase. And in that bookcase, there are a whole lot of yearbooks from West Genesee, and it goes back.

SPEAKER_00 4:17

How far back do you think it goes? I'm in there, you're in there, so it goes. I'm not gonna say, I'm not gonna say, I won't pick on you.

The Big Question About The Moon\n

SPEAKER_02 4:25

What that's it's okay, but it all goes with what where we're going with that tonight's conversation because uh obviously, uh, is you know, if you've been watching Skip Happens, and when Reagan comes on, Miss Ray comes on with me, there's you know, she's fresh out of college, she's young, she's energetic, she's got she's living her dream, or her passion is to do what we're doing. I've been there, done that, and reality is I could be your father, you know. No, seriously, yeah, so that it makes it work, and what we're gonna talk about tonight is did we really land on the moon?

SPEAKER_00 5:00

Did we? I don't know, I don't know. We're gonna get into that for sure. Yeah, I mean, it's it's interesting because what's going on with the news right now, we had Artemis 2 go up. That was the coolest, it was cool, it was very cool.

SPEAKER_02 5:16

I wanted to be on that.

SPEAKER_00 5:17

Would you go to space?

SPEAKER_02 5:18

I would go to space in a heartbeat, in a heartbeat. If somebody said, Hey, we got one seat available, I'd be like, Okay, I'll go. I've always said I wanted to go to the moon, nobody can bother me.

SPEAKER_00 5:32

Even though the travel there, the bathroom is as is well as excruciating as it is, and the food you may have to eat.

SPEAKER_02 5:40

They had bathroom issues, they had restroom issues.

SPEAKER_00 5:43

Could you imagine being all the way in outer space? I mean, I get homesick with the bathrooms at hotels, you know what I mean? Imagine the homesick that they got, like in a rocket.

SPEAKER_02 5:55

It was pretty awesome, but it made everybody think a little bit, and even people I know that did the landing on the moon back 50 some odd years ago. Now they're going, Why didn't they land on the moon? Why did they just go around it? Did we really go to the moon back in 1969, or you know, the first of how many different lunar landings that they say we had? Yeah, makes you think a little bit.

SPEAKER_00 6:20

Yeah, and it's really interesting too because you're somebody that that lived that you were able to in the late 60s, early 70s, be able to see the moon landing. And then me who was born in the early 2000s, I've just lived this vicariously through people like you. So it's really interesting about that, but then get here where we're on the moon and where that we may possibly land back on the moon. So it's very interesting.

Generations And Conspiracy Thinking\n

SPEAKER_02 6:51

So what let me um so what do you think? You're living you know, watching what everybody else is watching and what people are telling. Yeah, but you, I mean, what do you believe?

SPEAKER_00 7:02

I don't know. I mean, I definitely I don't know. I think it's there's conspiracy theories, is really where I'm gonna put it. You know, I think that there are things that happen that we we kind of just accept, you know. You hear something, you're like, oh, okay, yeah, that happened. But sometimes we really don't question why. And I think that sometimes there's room for that why, and that's where you get conspiracy theories, and people really just sometimes resonate with those. And because I'm one of those people, like we just mentioned, that's that's learned about the moon landing through people like you. It it leaves more room for those conspiracy theories. So, me, I I don't know. I think it's really interesting. I would love to believe that we landed on the moon, but you know, it's just he say, she say, there's there is news, and I think it is interesting that 50 years later we didn't make it a mission to go on the moon, um, considering that we had gone in the past.

SPEAKER_02 8:04

You were thinking back over 50 years and the technology and all that. We knew how to do that 50 years ago. That makes you think a little bit like, did we really do that? Or was it on a movie set?

SPEAKER_00 8:17

And it was just yeah, and it was just done, and it was everybody playing an actor, you know, and and sometimes that happens. And I think, well, I say that sometimes happens. I can't think of a specific thing where we're like, Oh my gosh, we all got you know hoaxed, but like in another way, it definitely, like I said, there's conspiracy theories, and then you start to question like, did we land on the moon? Like, why uh why was the flag moving?

SPEAKER_02 8:45

Why were the response the flag was moving because somebody was moving the flag, right?

SPEAKER_00 8:50

Okay, right. And then there's no win, no and then I think they're the pictures really like didn't show stars in a way. I don't know, Skip. It's just but and then as we've evolved with time, there's there has been other things, you know.

SPEAKER_02 9:06

We can you know, if you're watching this, I'd love love to see your comments. You you can you know, type it in there and send it to us, and uh it'll it'll help out with the discussion a little bit of you know what we're talking about, but um, you know, it's all generational, I guess. Yeah, it's everything that we're talking about, yeah. Generational. We got we got different generations here. Um, you know, I think younger people often see you know the grainy footage and assume uh primitive equals fake, so to speak. Uh, but the people of that era knew how big the space race was, and they knew what was at stake because back then, I mean, the Russians were trying to get to the moon before us, everybody was it was it was like a space race, it was crazy.

What The Footage Gets Wrong\n

SPEAKER_00 9:51

It was a space race, which would almost feed into that conspiracy theory a little bit more, just because, like, if Russia and another country are trying to get to it, if we broadcast, hey, us as America, we landed on the moon, we did it, Russia did it. How how awesome is that? Like, they just take care, you know what I mean? Like, they they show that we made it. So, what's the point in having Russia go?

SPEAKER_02 10:14

Well, Russia's gonna do it.

SPEAKER_00 10:16

Russia's still gonna go. Uh, you know, there's some count, there's countries that just it doesn't matter if the it's there's tough competition, other people taking care of business, they're still gonna be a part of it, and and that's just how they roll.

SPEAKER_02 10:28

Well, you've seen the footage, the grainy footage. You looked it up. We we talked about this at the radio station. Um, and because of that, uh the footage looked staged, but was from the the 60s or today? Yeah, no, from the 60s, from you know, we're talking late 60s, so maybe even 1970, 1969 with the uh you know the lunar landing. But I remember all that like it was yesterday, and I you know, I'm a believer. I I think we definitely did that. I sat in front of the television and watched Neil Armstrong go down the steps and Walter Cronkite doing the talking uh back in the day. God rest his soul. Uh, you know, when uh Neil Armstrong was one small step for man and one giant leap for mankind. Hello, Roger. Uh yeah, we're at the Wildcat, by the way. So Roger's trying to just give him a shot, but uh yeah, absolutely. So, you know, just watching that. I mean, I was uh we I remember my dad ran a tape recorder, and it was the old if you I don't know if you know what this is a real to real tape recorder, the little little uh it was it was different than a cassette. It was it was long even even before then, but we taped it.

SPEAKER_00 11:40

You taped uh yeah, do you still have that footage from when you taped it?

SPEAKER_02 11:44

I doubt it. Yeah, I mean it's it was a long time ago, 50 some odd years. And by the way, the tape probably would have crumbled by now. It turned to dust, I guess. I don't know, but uh yeah, it's crazy. So you you talked about the flag moving, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 11:59

I um I also think one thing that's really interesting is the the response from the astronauts when they came back. When we look at um Neil Armstrong and Buzz Waldron, Buzz Aldrin Aldrin.

SPEAKER_02 12:14

Yeah, that it's okay. It's okay.

SPEAKER_00 12:16

That misspoke. Um so when we reflect on them, um their mannerisms were not similar to the astronauts that came off this past time, you know, they were kind of distance, they kind of looked a little spooked, you know what I mean? Which to me may or may not seem like they're they're they're staying silent for a reason, if you know what I mean. And then we get to today and we look at the astronauts who around the moon if they've ever before. And they they did see the dark side, which could lead me to a whole nother conspiracy that I don't even know if we're ready for, but um yeah, when they came back, we also looked at that footage today. So happy to be home. I mean, the smiles on these people was ear to ear, like ear to ear, it was amazing.

SPEAKER_02 13:10

Do you think that uh you know? I guess I get why it uh catches people. If you don't know science behind what you're looking at, strange can become suspicious, and it makes you wonder. Yeah, right? Yeah, something like that.

SPEAKER_00 13:26

Or something different for sure, and there's always room for that why.

SPEAKER_02 13:31

What about government distrust? Do you believe you know there's a lot of that going on? Uh, you know, what have we been lied to for so many years? Have we been taken advantage of for so many years?

SPEAKER_00 13:43

Um I think that's a really valid question, and you know, I I do come from a little bit of a journalism background, so I understand like when it comes to news, that you know, um, there are certain things that the news does have to to talk about. There's certain you know what I mean, like time-wise, stuff like that. And um I just I don't think I don't know if being lied to is the correct word. Um probably I think it's more in a way the government may have thought that they were protecting at that time, if that makes sense, just because like to me it doesn't make sense. Like, say, like if there's a fire, would you would you scream fire or would you try to have so that everybody disperses like so chaotically, or would you rather like have a situation where like things can happen in a in a proper way, you know what I mean? So I think that's really where where that comes from. Yeah, I guess not saying it's right or wrong, but I'm just saying like giving the government some grace.

SPEAKER_02 14:46

Well, you know, I guess distrust isn't proof, yeah, itself isn't proof, so yeah, but uh doesn't automatically make every giant event a lot either.

SPEAKER_01 14:59

So that's true, too. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 15:03

Interesting, very interesting. So I know my mind is like going, and I'd love to hear from you if you're watching this. Uh, let us know what you think. Do you think we landed on the moon back in 1969 and then thereafter a whole bunch of times? Um, you know, I mean, our land a rover's still up there, the flag is still up there, there's no atmosphere, so there's no wind to blow anything around. Uh, how would you explain the bringing back of the moon rocks? Maybe they're not really moon rocks, maybe. Maybe I don't think about all that, and they're on display, and uh, you know, I know in uh DC they are, so that's that's kind of cool, but um and I think another thing too.

SPEAKER_00 15:46

Um, that I do want to mention is that there has been it's how many years has it been since we landed on the moon?

SPEAKER_02 15:53

54, something like that. I don't know.

SPEAKER_00 15:58

I just think it have progressed extensively in that department, you know what I mean? Like within 50 or 50 years, wouldn't you think that oh we would have been on Mars, we would have been on Jupiter, we you know what I mean? Like not literally, but maybe we would because government funding and things like that, but still it's it's questionable to me. It is because there's still things that come out all the time about it.

SPEAKER_02 16:28

Would you say hard to believe uh is the same as false, or no?

SPEAKER_00 16:32

I wouldn't know, okay. No, okay, just fact is fact, you know what I mean? Like evidence is evidence, and if if it's real, it's real, and I you know, just three uh conspiracy might feel more satisfied. That part too. I think that you know that goes back to the conversation earlier that some of us find comfort in just confiding in what we're told, and others find comfort in exploring what we're told, questioning why, and that's really where that comes in, you know, is is whatever you resonate with. How do we understand the world? That's a loaded question. Yeah, you should be you should be telling me this.

Tech Changes What We Believe\n

SPEAKER_02 17:17

How do we uh you know, but how think about that? How do we understand the world? You and I have different thoughts, different opinions on all that, but uh, how do we uh how do we understand the world? What's going on? Uh, you have to remember, I guess, all everything we were talking about wasn't just science. Uh, we had the cold war, all that propaganda. There was a lot of stuff like that going on. Definitely, the United States and the Soviet Union were competing for prestige, power, technology, and influence. You know, I mean, all that was going on. There was and it continues today, as we know, absolutely. Um, and all that.

SPEAKER_00 17:53

And I'm sure another thing that I do want to point out is the advancements in technology, like social media and access to information. So I think like nowadays, like we you could find anything on the internet, you know what I mean? Which then they were easier to cover and hide it up. So I think that now we're to a point where like if you did lie, you don't have room to cover that up because secrets don't last long nowadays, you know what I mean? Like, you can't get away with anything.

SPEAKER_02 18:25

It's see that the whole technology thing scot me.

SPEAKER_00 18:29

Now he's oh sorry, now he's like, Yeah, like all my gosh.

SPEAKER_02 18:33

No, really, because all right, so we had Artemis too. It went how many hundreds of thousands of miles from earth? They've gone or they went, quote, where no man has gone before, they went the furthest of everything, and we could still talk to them, yeah, just like you and I are chatting here. So that that's amazing. That is amazing when we can pick up our cell phone and we lose the connection going down the road, depending on where we are. But yeah, we can talk to somebody how many miles away. So it makes you think a little bit for sure.

SPEAKER_00 19:06

That definitely does. Now that we're talking about it, definitely does make you question like there are you know, you drive down the street, you go to the back side of inner heart to our station, and you can't hear 92.1 the wolf, and you're like, What's going on? We're right next to the well to the thing, to the tower. Yeah, that's why the tower is there, but then you are like, Oh my, you can talk to somebody thousands, thousands of hundreds of thousands, yeah, so far away, and you're just like, Oh my gosh, like so.

SPEAKER_02 19:37

If America had faked the moon landing, the Soviet Union would have loved to expose them, and I nothing like that.

Could The Soviets Have Exposed It?\n

SPEAKER_00 19:46

I think that goes back to the technology thing. Like, how do we there weren't technologies to be able to expose that in a way that I think that that would have worked? I don't know. What do you think?

SPEAKER_02 20:02

I think they would have exposed it. There's so much going on right now, it's like every dog eat dog. There's all that going on. I mean, the butt politicians, the the political side of everything, we're seeing it happen now. I mean, uh, just with everything that's going on in the Middle East and all that, you know, there's all it's just it's crazy, it's crazy. So, yeah, yeah, it's it's crazy.

SPEAKER_00 20:24

And I and I do want to reiterate that, like, I think that every generation kind of holds and understands history, history differently, whether it's the way that it's being told down and passed down. And I think that for your time when the moon landing was a thing, like that was a triumph, that was a really big thing for you. But for me, it's it's a debate. It's like, did it happen? You know, there's room for question because of the advancements that we've had.

SPEAKER_02 20:53

You had this discussion at home.

SPEAKER_00 20:56

I did. I brought this to the dinner table.

SPEAKER_02 20:58

Oh, that must have been interesting.

SPEAKER_00 21:00

It my family's bit kind of into this. Um, we love to just chat and sometimes talk about conspiracy theories. So, this was definitely something I brought back.

SPEAKER_02 21:10

Are you one of those? Do you believe in a lot of those conspiracy theories? I shouldn't, I mean, you could you know that's a good question.

SPEAKER_00 21:17

That's a fair question.

SPEAKER_02 21:18

Um, the reason I ask is as we said before, there's a difference between us.

Audience Comments And New Rabbit Holes\n

SPEAKER_00 21:23

I do not, you do not, I do not see. I I'm I'm actually gonna lean a little against that. I am somebody that kind of is more of a conspiracy theorist, and I think because it goes back to um, I just I'm someone that sometimes gets told something and I don't always agree with it, and I always want to know why. You know what I mean? I want to know why that happened. I want to know why they did that, why that decision was made. And I I also, yeah. So, and when you think about the why, it leaves room for that conspiracy theory. About questioning if it did happen, you know. And there's lots of other examples of like conspiracy theories that could well you didn't live it, right?

SPEAKER_02 22:13

And that's where I'm only thinking and going by what we mentioned a few minutes ago, what you're seeing that's being presented to you in a lot of different forms. Uh, the videos that are online, uh, who knows? It could be an AI generated image and it's showing something different. It there's a lot of that. Uh Katie Lynn, hello. Uh happy Wednesday, right back to you. Let me let Katie. We're gonna ask you, do you think we landed on the moon back in 1969? So we'll wait and see what Katie says. Yes, Katie's turning around going, Mom, did we? She's like, I don't know, but you know, it's just so interesting to talk about this because I firmly believe we did. You're kind of skeptical about it all. I get it, I do get it, but that's where you know the difference between us. But then, I mean, you brought up some good points. You're a photographer, you take pictures. Uh, you know, uh, the camera exposure, the dim stars. You don't see that. People, you know, look at next time you look at a picture. Uh, Andrew Best, the best radio, he does this podcast now. Uh, loved me some conspiracy theories. Ever look into when the Pentagon ended, uh, is it DARPA's lifelong project and when Facebook started?

SPEAKER_00 23:28

I haven't looked at either, actually. I think those would be good to go down. I'm actually skip. You keep talking, I'm writing these down so that we can come back to this later.

SPEAKER_02 23:38

Andrew's got all right, he's got best radio. He just started a podcast. Andrew, I love the way he thinks, and I love what he does. Uh, everybody's entitled to their opinion, and I have an open mind. I'd you know what? He's check out his podcast if you're watching this. Uh, definitely some good stuff. He's just starting out, and I'm here to help you if you need help. Probably doesn't want me to, um, but it's all good. But uh, Andrew, so did we land on the moon in 1969? So I'll wait and see what he says.

SPEAKER_00 24:09

See, uh, Katie has not responded, but uh she's thinking about it, she's thinking which direction she wants to go in now. She's like, because it's one of those questions that, like, when you like think about it for a second, you're like, Oh, yeah, but then when you like sit there for like a minute, you either are like, Yes, definitely, or you're like, I don't know, you know what I mean? So it's one of those things where like the longer it lingers, the more you're like, absolutely.

SPEAKER_02 24:37

See, when I'll read some of this stuff, as I just mentioned, you know, the bright foreground, the the uh dim stars, and the same reason you know, it just I read all that and it kind of makes you think a little bit. It's like okay, really, but but then being a photographer, which you are, you know that certain exposure and the brightness on this could affect the brightness on that, and things along those lines. So, and how about the weird shadows? There were some weird shadows, there were, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 25:05

I saw those, which is interesting, you know. Shadows, okay.

SPEAKER_02 25:14

A lot of photos that'll fool fool people pretty fast, yeah. And nowadays it's getting worse.

SPEAKER_00 25:19

It just it wouldn't, I don't know.

SPEAKER_02 25:21

So, do you think the footage overall looks fake?

SPEAKER_00 25:26

I'm gonna have to look at it again, but I don't know. I don't want to say fake because fake means like not real, and I think like there may have been a moon landing, but not on the actual moon, maybe maybe a moon landing on a set, you know, like a built moon. Now, have you ever watched Despicable Me? I mean, he he took the moon, he had the moon.

SPEAKER_02 25:56

Like, come on, yeah, exactly.

SPEAKER_00 25:58

And that that could be, I mean, we're gonna have to dissect this, but that could be drawing an analogy to the late 60s and early 70s.

SPEAKER_02 26:09

I love this. Katie says, I don't know, unsure. LOL.

SPEAKER_00 26:13

And doesn't it make you think though? See, Katie, so she's unsure, she's unsure, but if she was like, Yes, it happened, she would say, Yeah, she'd be like me. I'd be like, Yeah, like yes, it happened. Exactly.

SPEAKER_02 26:25

And uh, Andrew's skeptical about it. Uh, I've watched so many uh Rogan clips on this, it looks like a bad special effects, you know.

SPEAKER_00 26:32

He's gotta fair point.

Distraction Theory And Repeating History\n

SPEAKER_02 26:33

Yeah, Rogan did a whole lot, a whole lot with that. So yeah, maybe Andrew's gonna be our next Joe Rogan, which would be kind of cool. Yeah, that'd be interesting. Uh so let me just oh go ahead.

SPEAKER_00 26:45

I guess I was gonna ask, like, do you think that this moon landing is real, or do you think that this is also a distraction um from things that are going on, especially because you mentioned um during the time you know there was the Cold War, we had Vietnam War, and with the things that are going on right now, um, it makes you question, you know, is is the moon landing real, or is this also a distraction? Or is this something where like history repeats itself, you know?

SPEAKER_02 27:13

Well, I'm all right. I know, I know you're I said it. You said it put it right up on this table. I said it. You did, I did, you did, but uh so we what you're talking about a moon landing from before. I mean, this time we just went around the moon and came right to the house. Yes, that's what I yeah, okay. All right, that was like I missed better. Yeah, did you watch any of that? Did you watch the uh splashdown of Artemis?

SPEAKER_00 27:36

We've we watched it as well today. Um, the other thing that I would, you know, I was looking into the astronauts, and one thing that I found really, really interesting is one of the astronauts is Canadian, yes, which I think is very cool. Um, and I also think leads to fewer room for conspiracy theory, if you know what I mean. Just because if it was America, yes, exactly.

SPEAKER_02 28:00

So now we have somebody else involved.

SPEAKER_00 28:02

Exactly. You have another country involved, you have another party involved, so it it it has to uh to be more real. But maybe this is the first I don't know, Skip.

SPEAKER_02 28:13

I know.

SPEAKER_00 28:13

See now the more we talk about this, the more and it goes deeper and it goes deeper and it just keeps going.

SPEAKER_02 28:18

It all you know, and it it all stacks geology, engineering, astronomy, international observation. Look at the um the space station, the ISS. There's different, you know, we were up there with Russians, so everybody kind of working together on that. So it's it's just amazing, it's amazing. Um, Katie says it sure does. Uh, and and Andrew's still thinking. So, yeah, so this is it's it's a crazy conversation, but is it really? I don't have you um, I know you and I we just decided about one day I don't know how it came out. We just started talking. I said, you know what, we need to talk about that a little bit more, yeah. Because my beliefs came out and what you were thinking came out, and then we had a few other opinions from around the radio station, and it's like, yeah, we got to talk about this a little bit, yeah, because now people I think the minds, our minds are going in so many different directions because of everything that's being presented to us, yeah. I know I mentioned that before, but it's so true whether it's the moon landing or whether it's something else going on somewhere else that you know what is that really happening, or is that somebody trying to trick us?

SPEAKER_00 29:33

Yeah, just and kind of going back to the beginning of this um this episode, you know, we were talking about the wildcat and this being a place that real experiences can happen, and then we kind of segue into like the question like, are the things sometimes we experience real, or you know, like I don't know.

SPEAKER_02 29:55

I'll bet you if I yelled out to these guys over here, did we land on the moon? All right, there's one, two, three, four, five. There's six, six gentlemen sitting over there. Do we and by the way, I do know that they're all police officers, but um they're sitting there so perfect, they're the perfect crowd to start yelling at, you know.

SPEAKER_00 30:13

No, no, no, it's just like you know what?

SPEAKER_02 30:15

I don't know if I if they look over here, I'll get their attention. But I'm just curious, I'm just curious. And you know what? I want to say they're they're a lot closer to your age than uh than my age, obviously. Although you know, uh one of the gentlemen is retiring, so but it's gonna say it looks like uh mid-40s, so yeah, so I don't know. I wish I I wish I expect it.

SPEAKER_00 30:37

Skip wants to go around the room and ask every single person. So if there's a follow-up video to this video of Skip asking individual people, don't be surprised, you know.

Artemis Plans And The Road To Mars\n

SPEAKER_02 30:48

So I I do want to know if you're watching this, can you hear us okay? Number one, number two, are you enjoying the conversation? And number three, do you think you need to take this podcast out on the road even more?

SPEAKER_00 30:59

Yeah, what do we think of being out on the road? You know, I I really enjoyed this, Skip.

SPEAKER_02 31:04

I like it. I would I want Andrew. You haven't met Andrew. Andrew actually worked with uh with a radio station for a while. Very good. He was a morning show producer. Um, he just you know, it was he's working really odd hours, great kid, great guy. Um, and now you know I know he loves radio, he's like you, he's got that passion and that dedication, um, and he's got his beliefs, and and that's okay. And I love that. I love that he would be somebody I'd love to have to come in and let's talk about this stuff. So we can get him into the pod zone.

SPEAKER_00 31:36

That's what I was just about to say. Andrew's gonna have to come to the pod zone, maybe meet us at a Mets game. Who knows? Who knows?

SPEAKER_02 31:43

All right, so that the end result is I believe we did land. You're really skeptical about I'm skeptical. And um, Andrew says, uh, I dig it. It sounds good. Thank you, Andrew. Promise me you'll come on skip happens, and I'll I'll come on best radio. Yes, so he calls his podcast best radio. It's Andrew Best, so it's it's good stuff, but uh yeah, so here we are, and uh a little discussion about what happened. I can probably pretty much wrap this up, yeah. But uh, so much fun. I know we have different we we set up the cameras. Uh look at I can go like this, and we can go like that, and then we get a you know, oop, that's the wrong one. There we go. No, and then we're back, then we're back, we're back, we're together. It's the way it works, it's the way it works. So, anyways, this is what's going on. Hey, let me ask do you think we landed on the moon? No, no, no, in 1969, a long time ago. Do you think you do think we did? And yes, all right, yes, told you.

SPEAKER_00 32:45

Sorry, we're having a discussion about the moon landing on a podcast. We're discussing the moon landing. It really happened, she says.

SPEAKER_02 32:54

Yes, yes.

SPEAKER_00 32:55

Thank you, thank you so much.

SPEAKER_02 32:59

All right, so uh, see, skip happens, skip happens, it does, and I love it. I love it. You know, yeah, we should just set up another mic when we do this too. But uh anyway, so uh thank you for watching everybody. Uh Skip Happens talking a lot about um talking a lot about you know the moon moon landing. Did it really happen back in the day? Did it not happen? I think it did, as I mentioned a few minutes ago. Uh, but then the question is why didn't they do it this time? Why? Why did we you know? I think it was very exciting that we can extend this just a little bit because that just came to mind, and I can do some editing, but um so we spent, and I think it was great that we sent four astronauts into orbit, sent them to the moon, they looped around the moon, then they came back. Yep, but what what was that mission all about?

SPEAKER_00 33:49

Being able to be actually to actually be able to land on the moon, but we didn't land on the moon. No, I thought we were gonna go up again to be able to land on the moon.

Wrap Up And Tomorrow’s Live Remote

SPEAKER_02 33:59

So Artemis III next year. Uh, I I was reading about that, and then there's some talk about going to Mars once we get past the moon thing. But do you realize going to Mars it's gonna take a lot more, it's a lot further. So, therefore, you got to have more fuel, you gotta have more more food, more everything.

SPEAKER_00 34:19

More everything.

SPEAKER_02 34:20

So then, do we have a rocket that big? Do we can we do that? Think about that.

SPEAKER_00 34:26

You're thinking I am thinking, and I I think it's whatever you believe in. You know, if you believe we we can do it, we're gonna do it, you know.

SPEAKER_02 34:36

And if you know it is, it's awesome, Miss Ray. You're awesome. I love your see. This is what I love about you. You just your thinking, and uh, we have two different ways of thinking and coming together and doing the podcast. Uh, nothing better. We skip happens. Uh, that's what it's all about. I know this is what you love, this is what I love, and uh, you know, we're making it work, and uh we're out on the road, and they say they can hear us just fine. They love the fact that we're on the road, and we're gonna do more of this tomorrow night, by the way. About the same time, maybe a little bit earlier. You and I will be at the stadium uh with a Nashville recording artist. And surprise, tomorrow night you'll find out about it. Uh, I do want to say thank you for watching, everybody.
