Hi everyone, welcome to that spooky I'm Johnny and I'm Tyler and this is a weekly podcast that somehow found a way to become

Spookier and Gayer than the music video for everybody backstreet's back by the backstreet boys. Yeah, we did it with more glitter and midriff.

Absolutely. Like little do the listeners know every week. I'm sitting here dressed up as a sexy creature from the black lagoon.

Uh-huh, and I'm here sitting up as a sexy um, Pillsbury Halloween theme sugar cookie like a sexy one.

Oh, I like that. Hello, Ms. Halloween sugar cookie 2020. Yeah.

All right, well, welcome everybody. Welcome episode 98. Our first episode where we're not talking about drag race at the beginning of this here shendig for once. Oh my god, I feel so lost.

I did a good long while. Yeah, usually it was just like that straight, you know, it's that that straight road off the freeway to get into the show, but we don't have that anymore.

Especially not when I say that it's episode 98, but it's actually episode 97. Oh, you're right. Yeah, well, like, look, I'm just over here. I'm lost in the best way possible.

Listen, you're just like raven over there gazing into the future. Absolutely. I'm that's I'm very raven right now and very like chat baker.

Let's get lost. We're like romanticized. Listen, I love it. That's a whole storyline. Yeah, so get into it. Get into it. Yeah, do you want to do some spooky gay bullshit? I do because I got something for spooky gay bullshit this week.

Cool. And this is something that I hardly even understand. So get ready everybody because Tyler's going to explain you science. Oh shit. I would keep it a science.

Yeah, so basically word on the street is that they're the super sexy scientists that have been trying to figure out how to get two Mars for a really long while. Oh, man. Okay.

I'm just imagining crystal meth. I'm just talking about drag race anyway from season 12 of drag race, where she's just wearing a lab coat and hammering wigs at a table. Yes. That kind of science. That kind of science. Okay. Yeah, totally applying real logic to the situation. All right. Let it boydream. Uh-huh. But anyway, getting to Mars is it's something we want to do.

Absolutely. But it's something we haven't quite figured out yet and something that I never considered because I'm not really doing anything to aid the Mars mission. Yeah, you've really been slacking. I really have been, but what you need to know is that space is filled with cosmic radiation. Okay. Uh-huh. So apparently it's a real thing and it's not a great thing. Astronauts who spend six months on the International Space Station are exposed to a ton of radiation. Approximately 160 miliseeverts.

Uh-huh. So obviously that is not good. And with the mission to Mars exposure to cosmic radiation would be even worse. Scientists estimate that a mission to Mars would expose someone to about a thousand milliseeverts of radiation, which would be like 10,000 chest X-rays.

Well, so astronauts have your children before going to space. Uh-huh. Yeah. Build your legacy, then go to space. That's it. Yeah. That's what you need to do. Armageddon had it right. Uh-huh. That's all I'm going to say. Drop the mic. Walk away. I mean, Armageddon had so much right now. In every sense of the term, it was the first movie that made me cry as a child. Did it make you cry? Yeah, I was like, am I an adult now? I'm crying at a Bruce Willis movie. I feel okay. During our graduation, I think we played that song. I was in the band and we were playing at the same time. I was like, I'm going to be a little bit more patient. I'm going to be a little bit more patient. I'm going to be a little bit more patient. I'm going to be a little bit more patient. I'm going to be a little bit more patient. I'm going to be

a little bit more patient. And I'm going to be a little bit more patient. Then I've to be a little bit more patient. I mean, I love to be here. If you're playing sappy music, and we played don't want to miss the thing. I'm sure. Right. That isка's fucking sharing laughter straight away. That's a story. That's a story. I was like, what parenting? That's a story. I'm going to be playing sappy music. That's a story. You made it toha. I was like yeah, you were playing sappy music. And we played don't want to miss the thing. I'm sure. My sister like, good married and like that was ninety seven or ninety eight. That was the song that she danced to at her wedding. She's like seven or ninety eight. That's a song that she danced to at her wedding. Really? Absolutely. I feel like she's not the only one who danced to that song. In her

day. I want to be dancing in two days, and then we just had a short break. I feel like it's going to be another song. Just like grand finale of the 1870s.

I was going to take them, really, essentially, not very helpful in blocking out radiation. Totally. They're like chaotic. Totally. So, what's a space-bitch tattoo? Well, have you heard of a little thing called Chair Noble?

What? I guess I have. Right, it's only the worst nuclear disaster probably ever. Absolutely. Yeah. Well, in and around, the explodant reactor is a fungus called something real fancy that I can't pronounce. So, we're just going to call it by its other name Supermold.

Okay. I would call it Cheryl. Cheryl? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Cheryl the mole. Cheryl the mole. I love that. I mean, maybe there's room for adjusting it. You know, and really discovered. Yeah. Let's do it. Okay. But anyway, this Supermold name Cheryl is significant because nothing should be alive in and around the blast site. Like, everything should be dead, nothing should be growing, and certainly nothing should be thriving. But here Miss Honey is doing it and doing it well. Because it turns out
