0:00.0	That hug was at a 14% APR. This is we have concerns. Hi, Jeff Ganada. Anthony Carbone. Hello, concerned citizens.
0:21.6	Anthony Mars. We got to get there. We got to get there. Listen, and who's going to get us there?
0:30.4	We used to believe in that idiot that runs Twitter. Now we don't trust him as far as we can throw him. No,
0:35.7	he can't get us there. How we go to Mars? The problem is we've done fuck to this planet. Oh, buddy,
0:43.3	real hard. Oh, buddy, you said, I don't know if you recall, but a mere couple of weeks ago, we did a
0:50.0	story about how there's more concrete on earth that we made than there is biomass of all the
0:56.4	biological things on earth. Yeah. Yeah. We've done fuck this planet real hard. Yeah, we listen, I
1:06.2	don't really have any other planets full of living creatures to compare it to. So the data set is
1:12.2	very small, but here's what I'll tell you, do feel a bit fucking do feel a bit fucking. Well,

1:50.8	have a rocket ship somewhere else. Well, I'm not endorsing that notion. I'm just saying that's
1:56.8	the some some prevailing wisdom is let's get off of earth and get on to Mars and not just get to
2:05.7	Mars, not just like, Hey, here's a flag. Boom Mars. But let's move in. Let's
2:13.8	build housing. Sure. Let's let's long-term it, you know. But here's the question that I have for
2:19.9	you, Jeff. Yeah. We know that if we want to get on a rocket ship, any kind of star-faring craft,
2:27.9	space-faring vessel, we got to just just the the amount of weight we're allowed to bring,
2:37.6	the amount of stuff we're allowed to bring. Chris Hadfield got they got mad at him because he
2:42.7	brought a ukulele and a harmonica. You know what I mean? It's not allowed to do both of those.
2:46.5	You're not allowed to do both of those because you're only allowed one incredibly annoying instrument.
