he's excited oh yeah i am excited should we start oh yeah we start

five four three two two this podcast we've got a guest okay he's a um a M-50, what is the... F-18, sir. A-7's an F-15, okay, pilot. And he was so good at that. What did he do next, sir? He was so good at that. They said, hey, look, we want to put you in a rocket ship and see you to outer space. There we go. So he... truth be told, that's not exactly how it goes, but okay, we'll go with that. We have got astronaut Butch Wilmore in studio with us today. That's right. That's right. And we're fired up about it. This is so weird. They just did everything I don't really do. We're too excited. I'm not real sure why i'm here i was at sys house

last night oh hey you're here to make me look good i think i i make everybody sit right

there real good nobody nobody needs to make you look good no i didn't meet it that way i don't

i'm just saying you're bringing up the bar i've already thanked this veteran for his service okay because what you

fought in iraq yes sir okay i was in germany at the time you know and i shipped okay men are the guy

we shipped seventh core with everything they had. Yeah.

Okay. And guess what?

The one thing we run out of it could get enough of.

It was wood.

Wood, no kidding.

Not a lot of wood in the desert.

All right.

Look, plywood, four or all this stuff.

All this stuff that you got to put on to lock everything down on a train to ship it somewhere. We have an astronaut, and you're talking about lumber. Well, no, no. Oh, we got an astronaut. We're talking about Iraq. Well, I know what that place looked like. You can't have a contact. We got top gun in the house, baby. Okay. This ain't a movie. This is real life. I know what a rackler is like. I've seen Fox News. Let's talk about space, man. The United States is space. Now my question is, how fast is that rocket go? Oh, it goes faster than about anything goes. When you're coming back to Earth, I mean, you're traveling like, like I said,

25,000 miles an hour, roughly.

Yeah, you're, you're moving. Five miles a second. I don't like to go. I don't like to go to Texas because the speed limit's 80 some places and it makes me uncomfortable. Time out. Time out. Time out. Time out. The top gun will say, right.

Five miles in a second.

I have the need for speed.

Yeah, five miles a second.

That was. Time out, time out, time out. When Top Gun will say, hey, I got, I have the needs for speed. Yeah, five miles a second. They wouldn't, they wouldn't kid when they said I have the needs for speed. That's true. You orbit the planet every 90 minutes. You know, the circumference of the Earth is 25,000 miles at 17,500 miles an hour, which is what your orbiting speed is. Yeah, five miles a second. So you've been up there. Is this Earth round? You know what? We got a few conspiracy theories. We need to bump. Do the math. 464 days in space. 16 orbits or 16 sunrises and sunsets a day. So 16 orbits a day. Every single, at 7,424 times around the planet. And every single time

I went around the planet, it was round. Wait, hold on. Flat a single time. Not one. Not what?
