The Downbeat on ninety seven to one The Freak. Seven o'clock, let's talk
about how the MAVs got that butt last night? Nice, very nice things
starting to feel very real. Also get something? Would you accept this to
be inside of this? HM seven is also it's a sports topic. Weirdly
seven thirty Scuttle Bud eight o'clock Neighborhood watches back at You nine o'clock. WIF
Jeopardy Tournament of Champion contestant Jared Watson. He's from Greenville and he is going
to be popping on at nine o'clock today. His episode airs on Monday night.
But he's in the Attorney of Champions after he got four straight wins back
in the summer of twenty three. Because he's made it this far. We'll
talk to that dude at nine o'clock. Right now, it's time for Lose
the Moon, Big Mike, the Moon, Big Mine Los Luna. Who
doesn't love the moon? The moon is one of the rare things that you
can see and it still blows your way and then you think you've seen it
a million times. Just be driving and you look over and hot Dog and
it is. It's been badass the last two mornings. Hot moon, gorgeous,
beautiful moon. I love the Moon. I love I love the Moon.
Malcolm loves the moon, my almost three year old son. He loves
the moon so much that on Hallow, his second Halloween, he went as
the moon. Kidding, he went as the Moon. He went as the
moon. Why is he the cutest? He wore a T shirt that I
had made that had the Moon on it, and he was the Moon.
Was there any doubt what he was? Of course, he just looks like
a little kid with a T shirt with a weird circle on it. It
didn't say moon, No, it was just the the picture of the moon.
Was he on a black shirt, yes, the black pants, and
he was he was Moon Moon. Well what are you, little little friend?
I'm the Moon. Yes, you are ken first person to show up
in our iHeart lawn and a moon costume gets a pair of tickets to college
baseball and a moon costume. I suppose the moon looked so good last few
days because it was so close and clear. But that's what makes it an
easier target to land on if you're trying to land on the moon. What
right, Yeah, well we have a big moon. I mean they time
this all out there. They're not just heading up there and saying we'll find
it. Yeah, go straight. It's easier to go to Oklahoma than it
is to North Dakota. Left, there's the Moon. Well, they found
it yesterday, not a manned mission, but a historic landing on the Moon,
marking the first commercial spacecraft to ever land on the Moon and the first
US made vehicle to touch down in the lunar surface since the Apollo program that
ended over five decades ago. I mean, this is the first time we've
touched the Moon in over fifty years US made. Yeah. Wow. I
know A bunch of other countries have been fiddling farting up there with the Moon.
China, India, Japan. I don't know if Russia has since then,
since the end of the Soviet US space race of the twentieth century,
China, India Japana ball landed spacecraft on the Moon, with the latter two
making their first touchdown just the last six months. India and Japan are hot
on the Moon, hot on the Moon, but we have not been hot
on the Moon for a long damn time. But we sent it up.
Man. We got her done once again. And I don't want to divert
too much, but it kind of instantly makes you think if anyone on the
planet has balls made of more iron than those first people who pulled that thing
off and did it on a hot route short notice. And they were like
old either, you know, relatively untested. We're gonna I'm gonna go in
there and we're gonna launch it. Like it's we're almost numb to it now,
Like, yeah, we absolutely are millionaires in space, you know.
But they said, and the Moon is way out there, as Danny knows,
beyond technically space. We're gonna get on this rocket and we're gonna go
not only to space, we're gonna continue goingds of thousands of miles, and
not all the way to the moon. We're going to land on the f
and moon. And check your calendar and check your panties because the year is
nineteen sixty nine. Check your patties. So crazy. July twentieth, nineteen
sixty nine. Do you remember that day? Yeah? I don't know why
I remember this, but we had a some type of lithograph or something in
my house growing up, and it had the great quote, one small step
for man, one giant leap for mankind, seven, twenty sixty nine.
That's how I remember that date, really yeah, because it rhymes. Well.
A lot of people remember the you know, one small step, but
that was a very small portion of the actual audio that came from the moon
landing. Really yeah. And it was only a few years ago that they
unearthed the full audio of those American heroes setting front of the moon and play
that for you. Yeah, this is crazy. Ah meters going over there
now, Sorry, Mike, here we go quoting Base the Eagle Headlanders see
a Sage Christ. We're on the move, over Roger train, Wildy.
We copy that. We cannot believe you are on the move. I'm discerning
the ladder. Just one more step and I'm holy living I abs absolutely am
standing on the surface of the sucking mood. She's a Sage Christ in a
chicken basket. Wow, his history remembers h the one small step uh thing,
And I guess he was all worked up with all the cussing, so
that can't be taught in schools and everything. But yeah, the moon,
the moon. Do you see the onion headline from the fake old paper.
The whole headline, like five inches is just holy s when it is hilarious,
Like that should have been the reaction. JFC, I'm on the moon.
I mean right, that's crazy. I was beautiful. I like to
imagine that there were It's been discussed before, but I always liked to imagine
the fight, you know, that was happening to see who would be the
first man, Like the idea that it was agreed upon that Neil Armstrong is
gonna get to be number one and Buzz was too, And then I like
to imagine that Buzz was holding a grudge and had a chip on his shoulder
his entire life because he get to be number two. It's great, he's
always going to be associated with Neil, but it's always going to be seen
as Neil's show when Neil was the first one that is. Yeah, Buzz
was definitely the Ed McMahon of that operation. Yeah, isn't that covered?
Like I'm sure pretty thoroughly well not to even mention that the dude that didn't
even get out of the damn capsule, Yeah, the pilot Bill. Yeah,
and exactly the fact that you don't say his name, we should we
should get his name, all right, Plus did Neil McCoy, No,
it wasn't Neil mcca Colt McCoy. But Neil McCoy looks a lot like Chris
Arnold. What do you think about it? You look up his name,
who was the pilot? I think Bill is right. Well, that's a
very common name from that era. Of course, it was a power from
New Armstrong and buzz Aldrin. This should bring up results a SA B.
It's Michael Collins. Oh that's right, Michael. At least we're like,
oh, that's right. Michael Collins died April twenty eighth, twenty twenty one.
But yeah, those three psychos who are also brilliant, like top of
their field, top military whatever. The packed into a tomato can and launched
off the planet and didn't stop till they landed on the Moon in nineteen sixteen.
I don't know, it's it's unbelievable. I love when stuff like this
happens. It makes you just give it a fifteen minutes. I do it
this morning. Iron They were hurdling through space, hurdling, hurtling, hurtling,
so heat like doing it now fine? And they did in nineteen sixty
nine, and we had like audio radio right like they theret problems yesterday where
they couldn't even really show video or communications were all screwed up in twenty twenty
four, but in nineteen sixty nine it was essentially broadcast live. Essentially.
Yeah, some of it was. Some of it was pre recorded, I
believe just for you know, OK, no, not, I'm not making
that claim, but I believe that because look, I like reading about what
people think when it comes to conspiracy theories, and we'll try to snope some
them out, you know, vet them out. But I did read that
that, yeah, there was some of it that was filmed just for TV
because they just weren't able to get all of the I don't know, it
sounds like it's the same thing, that's the least boring thing audio of it
for eight hours just filmed. But yeah, now they're I'm not there checking
their valve pressure and now they're going to check the carbon like I don't know,
there's probably some boring scientific things that they wouldn't want to show live on
TV. We'll speaking, you know, we talked about having the big AT
and T out of yesterday and then that just a day or two after we
learned about Russia's nuclear satellite plans to be able to launch a satellite that can
neutralize or destroy other satellites in space, rendering us digitally useless on this planet.
You've got to think about this, that those astronauts just kind of zoomed
past that satellite level of orbit like they were in an HOV lane heading much
further away. And you think it worth the satellites are as? That's really
and far Moon mucho farther mucho. Yeah, so intuitive machines. The IM
one Lander, also called Odysseus or OD for short, was the vessel that
landed at five to twenty four PM Central Standard just yesterday after using its methane
Danny methane fueled onboard engine to hope they brought extra drawers. Is dear itself
turn cratered surface and rapidly reduced as speed by four thousand miles an hour.
They did have a bunch of navigation system issues right as they were landing,
which again tribute to nineteen sixty nine. But it's like a co op.
So these are like private companies that are funded by NASAU because NASA doesn't want
to spend what's required to do these missions as often, especially when private companies
will will do it for you. But there is a plan for at the
end of this decade, so in the next years, to send a manned
mission to the Moon. NASA has a plan to do that, and these
missions do help, I guess prepare them for that, because you're like,
why. The argument is always all right, why I go back to the
Moon. That's what the US thought. It's like, all right, we
did it, planted the flag. It's cool, But what's the actual purpose?
And there is, I guess a lot. Go ahead. It's another
thing that's interesting to me is the computers. When you see ground control in
Houston and that all that great black and white, awesome mid century footage with
all of these dudes and horn rimmed glasses and white shirts and black ties,
that those massive banks of monitors and computers. I believe it's true that the
computing capabilities that we have on our phones are greater than all of the stuff
that they had at that time combined. And every piece of video of everything
associated with the nineteen six behind landing is on your phone right now, and
I look up boobs, boobs and ass hot hot hot boobs. It was
a phone booth sized land boobs and ass hot hot Hot. Spent a week
in space, traveling about six hundred and twenty thousand miles through the void before
placing itself into the lunar orbit on Wednesday morning and dropping it down. So
you ask, why, what are we doing there? What hath we brought?
And what nook go ahead? So onboard Autist is six science payloads designed
in various NASA laboratories, expected to operate for seven days on the lunar surface.
They're doing like a seven day info dump. They're trying to focus on
demonstrating communication navigationsion precision landing techniques, technologies, and gathering scientific data about rocket
plume and lunar surface interactions as well as space weather, lunar service interactions affecting
radio astronomy. So I guess it is all sort of designed to assist in
a near future manned moon landing. That again, NASAU on the US is
planning this is interesting, you know, art and technology from the commercial sector
also on board. They included insulation material developed by Columbia Sportswear designed to shield
Odysseus from the harsh temperatures of the Moon, and commemorative payloads such as a
sculpture of the moon phases designed in consultation with artist Jeff Coons. I don't
know what that is out we're bringing art up there addition to paint the moon.
Yeah. Additionally, there was a camera along for the ride, developed
by students at Every Riddle in Daytona, that's a university. The device was
set to pop off the lander and capture a selfie of Odysseus. Images from
the camera were not immediately available for landing, so a priority is a selfie?
Was a selfie? We're not making the most of this, are we,
certainly. I haven't seen any footage of this it does it exist yet
or has it been released to the public, the actual but I want to
see Twitter. It's just this. There's a lot of conspiracy joking because we're
all digital arsonists and half the people online just want to make everyone mad.
So yes, there's all. You know, there's allegations of fraudulent landing.
So I don't I saw one. I don't know if because I'd love to
see, you know, the approach, the actual landing and then the landscape
of that thing with the camera technology that we have now, as far as
the definition, because yeah, back then it wasn't terrible for nineteen sixty nine,
But I want to see what the actual footage looks like now with four
K you know, So that's the piece of art. It's like a giant
plexi glass or glass box with what looks looks like about one hundred maybe baseball
or softball sized moons, each of them showing the different phases of the moon.
Looks like a case of red bull. But that I have terrible vision.
So that is the first piece of art, authorized work of art on
the Moon. Had there been a little bit of discussion over the past few
years of NASA cutting back there they desire, Yeah, so big cutbacks in
a part of that partially do to SpaceX maybe yeah, No, that's I
said that. That's NASA knows that private companies are willing to do this,
so they work in partnership and they're partially funded by NASA to bring stuff up
and do work for NASA, but NASA doesn't have to foot the entire bill,
which is essentially taxpayers. So those dudes who went up there at the
age of thirty nine in nineteen sixty nine, all of those guys, Neil
Buzz and Michael Collins were thirty nine years old, and they were kind of
trusting the science that had been done that said this is safe, which is
still just faith right, like the calculations are, but we still don't know.
Like that is you said iron balls earlier, Dude, they weren't even
old yet. They were just i mean, just getting started. But they
weren't even forty yet. That's badass. Yeah, it's kind of a I'm
gonna compare them a little bit to Alexi Navaldi who was not fifty yet and
he pretty much made the decision. My life's gonna suck for the next few
years, but I feel like I'm doing what's right, because what if they
don't do it and then there's some other coward two come in and like,
eh, I don't know if I trust you, then it like never gets
done. But maybe there was a part of a part of it, that
is I want to be the guy or guys who did this. I'm sure
that might have drove some of it. It's wild. I mean, look
at the moon right now, can you see it? Lots go outside,
walk all the way outside. Yes, it should be to the right.
So one last thing on this art thing though it's a rival marks a milestone
mune phases, which is what it's called. And there's like a little plaque
on it says Moon phases and it's designed for all. This is not the
only art to touch down on the Moon's surface. Nineteen seventy one, Apollo
fifteen crew members left an aluminum aluminium figure by the Belgian artist Joyendonk, as
well as a commemorative plaque for fourteen astronauts and cosmonauts who died in service.
It's also been long believed that six famous artists Andy Warhol, Robert Rossenberg,
John Chamberlain, Klais Oldenberg, Forrest Myers, and David Norvos covertly sent a
joint artwork aboard Apollo twelve. Their collaborative piece, the Moon Museum, is
a tiny ceramic tile scribbled with drawings from each artist, and reportedly remains attached
to part of the lunar module's leg to this day, which is still sitting
up there. We're sitting up there. Damn, that's wild. That's kind
of cool. I mean, we so so I didn't care much about art
down here, but it's cool that on something like that, you know,
people were I don't know, at least the statement that art makes or can
make. Yeah, absolutely enough to take it to the moon. It's cool
that we're still messing with the moon after we're getting out of it for a
while, fiddling with the moons. Send some people up there now, right
who wants to go to the moon. It'll be a celebrity, won't it.
No, it's their NASA's going. They're gonna be but they'll have a
celebrity astronaut, like what Costner and Shatner up there? Okay, now he's
running out of time. I don't if it were safe, like if you
could, I don't know, I'd love it. There would be and I
was was watching it was something that had to do with the fact that we
as humans don't look at other humans as all part of our our race and
we need to be united together as a species. You know, they were
always divided and there's different factions. I think if more people could get the
perspective from I'm standing on that rock and looking back at Earth and seeing just
how tiny it is. That's all and that's all of it. That's everything
right there. I don't know. I wonder if that would prioritize maybe they
could sell tickets for it then so they had this when they when This was
popping off a couple of years ago. The you know SpaceX and Blue Origin
and they did the lottery you know where everyone could So would you if you
won that lottery? Would you go just on one of the billionaire flights?
Not we're not going all the way to the moon. Yeah, I think
I would not. I think I would just to see the Earth from that
perspective. I mean, think about really struggle with it, because I think
I mean the claustrophobia. I think I would just I'm terrified of flying over
the Atlantic Ocean and tumonts. Dude, Yeah, you got to compartmentalize that
stuff, man, Realize it's an opportunity joining I don't even know fifty people
whatever we're at right now, well no more than that of living humans that
have been to space. Think about if you could get one hardcore flat earther
to get on that thing and go up there and get a perspective and see,
oh wow, it it actually is round. I don't think there's any
hardcore flat earthers. They're digital arsonists. They know they're getting clicks and likes
by saying things that drive people crazy. Hell, one of the dude perfect
guys went to space. I mean, like, it's not. They're one
of the most powerful people on Earth. Why don't you get him on?
They're Ben's buddies. Have they had them on talking about space, Alex,
that's cool that shit talk about space. One of them on, was it
Tyler the main guy? I don't know. They're all Ben's friends. I
don't really know, not the one with the beard. Nice dudes. Hey,
speaking of the moon and satellites and stuff. Real quick follow up on
yesterday's AT and T outage. They got everything restored yesterday around two thirty hour
time, and according to AT and T, had nothing to do with any
type of cyber attack. It had to do with the application and execution of
an incorrect process they used as they were expanding their network. So basically they
had a software bugs, a coating problem. Yeah, so it uh.
It effected a great portion of all of our country. Montana and Idaho in
South Dakota were unaffected. They seem to be the only state in our wonderful
Union that were not the Nebraska because their outages reported in Nebraska. But they're
on Cricket, is that right? They're on Yeah, they're on Ryan Reynolds's
mint Mobile. They're on mint Mobile, which is real cheap but may not
work. Great, good job of America. Yeah, well we good text
Moon. I'd love to hear audio of Mike Siroy in a hot air balloon
going up the toll way straight to the moon. From going up the tollway
straight to the moon, Holy crap. Run the toll way, you go,
fast rollers, Jay Blank and c if passed beltline. This is three
sixty. I can see the bush. There's that Collieville everybody's been talking about
lately coming up next. MAVs and Sons got it on last night at the
American Airline Center and we all watched it. Plus they're offering college players this
much money to be inside of this. We'll tell you what it is.
