00:00
Have you ever came across the flat earther that tells you like
00:05
Have you ever slept with a flat earther?
00:08
I'm just saying it may make sense if that's the case.
00:10
But when I hear flat earth, I'm like, oh, it's going down tonight
00:16
You know what I'm saying?
00:18
You know what I'm saying?
00:20
You put on that nasty jacket like you know what?
00:24
There's a flatter surface called the bed.
00:26
I'm going to show you the bed.
00:32
W what's good, Mi Gente?
00:33
We're back for another episode of Three G's in the pod.
00:37
My name is Sasha Mercy.
00:38
This is in the building and Eric Rivera here.
00:41
So welcome to three Gs in the pod, Migente and it's gonna be
00:44
We're gonna be talking about some real, real NASA stuff, nasty
00:56
I don't know where you guys are at mentally.
00:57
I gotta make sure I honestly I've been like, just looking up
01:01
like a whole bunch of UFO stuff.
01:03
So I have some theories on my fee like crazy.
01:07
That's all I'd be looking at.
01:08
Do you believe in UFO S.
01:10
Yeah, I mean, are they real?
01:13
You know what I'm saying?
01:14
You, no, none of this is real.
01:19
No, this is real with your perfect smile.
01:22
Every time you see it's like I saw some lights in the sky.
01:25
So, but what they don't know where the lights are coming from
01:29
How have we not had anything physical, like physical proof
01:34
that we can like, we don't have, you know, we don't, have we
01:39
I, I haven't seen it but I'm not saying like I don't believe
01:42
in it or I do believe in it.
01:43
You know, there's some things that, you know, I don't have
01:45
So do you believe in Bigfoot?
01:47
Do you believe in the monster?
01:50
And I believe my girl cheats on me.
01:51
Let me tell you something right now.
01:53
Let me tell you something right now, dude, we have captured
01:56
Haven't you seen what's going on in the Pentagon?
01:57
Have you seen a whistle blower?
01:58
Have you seen it physically?
02:01
I'm not allowed on those campuses.
02:02
We have some footage.
02:04
And I'm gonna guarantee it's gonna be like some weird little
02:08
We're like, oh, there it is.
02:09
I believe in dinosaurs because you can go to the museum and
02:14
But how do you know that they were like you know, made up bones
02:19
mates in Las Vegas, in Las Vegas.
02:21
What's going on in Las Vegas?
02:23
First of all, it's Vegas.
02:26
Oh, light in the sky.
02:29
And then where, where's the thing?
02:31
Eureka motherfucker.
02:32
That's not nothing right there.
02:39
I will say I love the only person that knows English in the household
02:43
is talking a little kid was something happened and it came
02:46
down, dude, I will say I came down, I was excited to see this
02:51
clip because it's usually Southern people.
02:53
I'm like, I don't believe any of that.
02:53
And it was the first time I see something.
02:57
I thought it was a spirit.
02:59
Here's my, here's my theory for UFO S I believe that UFO S are
03:05
That's what I believe.
03:06
And also another thing that I believe.
03:08
So if it's you in the future, you're gonna come back and see
03:10
Like we go to museums all the time.
03:12
So maybe they get in a time traveling machine where it's like
03:14
yo, it's like a museum for them.
03:16
That's why you see the lights where they're coming in and out
03:24
Now, I have a whole tiktok about it.
03:27
He stole it from me and put it on tiktok.
03:28
Let me tell you something.
03:30
The was always been like, that's just us in the future, coming
03:33
back and supplies that we need for the future, you know?
03:36
Oh, we run out of this.
03:37
Let's go back and then they came back and then, and then they
03:39
tell the guy Stuart you, you can't get caught.
03:43
I'm not gonna get caught.
03:44
And then they get caught and they're, like, real quick, what
03:47
college did you go to again?
03:48
Both of you because I need to understand the black one time
03:55
And I believe what about all those people that said they got
04:01
And that fire in the sky?
04:03
Oh, that was a good movie.
04:07
Watch your mouth, watch your mouth.
04:09
This guy has been probed.
04:10
He's been through a lot.
04:13
You know, this is one of my theories too.
04:16
Like I feel like the people that, you know, get abducted, right
04:20
I feel like there's something really wrong with them or something
04:22
and they're trying to fix them like, you know, like if you have
04:24
an ant farm, there's something wrong with one of your alien
04:29
Me, this is my theory.
04:31
This is just my theory because like when you think about it
04:34
right, we already trying to leave earth and we're trying
04:39
So, and every time we ask God for help, we always be like God
04:42
So we, we're not from here.
04:45
I don't think we're from here to be honest.
04:47
No, I'm going with this.
04:48
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on.
04:50
You think they're fixing us?
04:53
I think they're fixing us and they haven't come down to fix
05:00
Exactly how they want him to be.
05:01
You know what I'm saying?
05:03
This is part of the, the, the machine that machinist.
05:05
You really don't think, you really think that we're the only
05:07
ones that here on earth.
05:10
You really think that where, where's the proof?
05:14
Here's the thing you love yourself.
05:16
We have the Pentagon.
05:18
You know the Pentagon, right?
05:19
I know the Pentagon.
05:22
Look at a little spot.
05:23
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
05:24
Hold on the Pentagon.
05:25
First of all cataracts and the guy in a turtle, turtle neck
05:30
They don't know what that is.
05:32
They don't know what the, what the spot is.
05:34
They say it's moving too fast.
05:36
They can't, they can't qua like quantify what this is.
05:40
What's, there's a new phrase for UFO.
05:42
Have you guys heard it?
05:42
What it's called UAP?
05:45
What's that stand for Unidentified in a building?
05:56
You see what I'm saying?
05:56
That little spec can be us from the future.
06:00
Listen, I've taken pictures of my iphone with that little
06:02
spec it could be a little dust on the, on the, on the lens.
06:07
We're gonna take a quick commercial break.
06:09
But when we come back, we have an actual NASA engineer, Elio
06:14
Moria is gonna come in.
06:15
He's gonna sit down here and you guys can give him all your theories
06:18
because you saw men in black and fire in the sky and he can actually
06:25
So what if actually he says that you're wrong?
06:31
No, we should be, we should be.
06:34
I don't know, what do you think he's going to come with an alien
06:40
We have like I promised nsa's engineer Elio Mod and I'm excited
06:45
to have you because I can't with these two and you are a learned
06:49
man, they can break down some of these.
06:53
They think they're coming back from the future, but I'll have
06:57
First of all, welcome, welcome.
07:01
Thank you for having me so real quick.
07:05
You work, you work for NASA.
07:09
How long I worked for NASA.
07:10
I quit NASA last year.
07:12
I was there for about a little more than six years and now I'm
07:17
working at one of Papa Bezos company.
07:26
I say I won't say it openly because I can't.
07:28
But I told you he is a good looking guy.
07:32
You know what I mean?
07:33
He looks like he works out.
07:35
Why are we talking about?
07:36
He got one like lazy eye.
07:40
What I deal with it?
07:42
Not even what we talking about, we have a guest.
07:49
I feel like I got my kids guys this company we have.
07:55
So uh so what are you doing for, for Bezos?
07:57
Is, is it still in the space field?
08:00
Like what's going on?
08:01
Yeah, so, so at NASA, I actually worked on the the latest Mars
08:06
So I was there working on the rover that got there in 2021 work
08:09
surface operations as well.
08:11
So exploring Mars with the rover and the helicopter uh first
08:14
time we fly a vehicle outside of earth, we did it there and I
08:18
was part of that team, which was incredible.
08:20
And now what I like to say is I'm working on lunar stuff.
08:23
So I went from Mars to the moon shorter commute a little bit
08:25
easier and we're trying to get humans to the moon very soon
08:29
Do you collect crystals?
08:32
Oh, let me tell you something right now, dude.
08:34
How do they buy when you, when you wear earrings?
08:37
Like you do, you definitely collect crystals you believe
08:40
in energies you believe in uh you know, things like that.
08:44
So all moon stuff right now, purely moon stuff.
08:50
So my question is when you're saying that you're working on
08:57
moon stuff, is it, first of all, you have to be OK?
09:05
Is it for recreational purposes for people to go?
09:09
And just almost like the plan because you know, how people
09:17
And it's just like on the moon, I would think so.
09:20
But it's gonna be, hey, I'm not that off.
09:24
But it could be like a thing where people are able to just go
09:28
visit the moon on vacation or something like that.
09:31
Is that like along the line?
09:34
We talked a little bit about it earlier.
09:35
Uh We're trying to put millions of people to live and work in
09:40
space really in coming decades, probably centuries is how
09:46
I realistically see it.
09:47
But yeah, I mean, one day people like us are going to be able
09:50
to just say I'm gonna go to the moon for the weekend.
09:53
And what that's, that's the, that's the goal, right?
09:57
And I think that one of the people that are very um that really
10:00
believe in that is Jeff Bezos and the vision that he has, which
10:05
which I align with is that the, the idea is to keep Earth as pristine
10:09
as possible and you wanna start moving out what we call our
10:13
heavy industries into space.
10:14
So anything that has to do with creates a lot of contaminants
10:17
and heavy metals and these things that are actually quite
10:21
common in space, we move them out and we keep our earth as pristine
10:25
So we're gonna pollute now.
10:28
There's nothing because, you know, like all these, I gotta
10:34
be careful, there are things that we consider when we talk
10:37
about planetary protection.
10:38
So this is now my NASA hat coming back when, when we went to Mars
10:43
and as we are on Mars right now, ok, there's people on Mars right
10:46
now, no people that's like several decades down the line.
10:53
And right now the pure ambition that NASA has and I think it's
10:57
it's, this is one of the reasons I work there.
10:59
It's completely noble, noble purposes is to figure out ultimately
11:02
if we're alone in the universe.
11:04
So on Mars, in particular, we'll start talking about aliens
11:09
And something you were saying, um whether or not there's proof
11:16
So there are scientists right now trying to figure out if there's
11:21
any kind of evidence of biological remnants on Mars.
11:27
That is what the Mars 2020 mission was designed for.
11:30
So what's going on is that we went there, we have this rover
11:33
exploring, collecting these samples, catching them.
11:36
So basically putting them in a tube so that the next mission
11:38
goes, picks them up and brings them to earth.
11:41
We gotta be careful with that.
11:42
Uh Y'all have seen, oh man, I'm forgetting the name of the movie
11:44
But this movie where they, they bring back like a, it's called
11:50
That's one it could be, I mean, it could be.
11:53
But this whole concept of the Andromeda strain, if we do find
11:57
something that's living or dormant outside, we bring it back
12:03
if you don't take care of it.
12:05
It could wipe out life here because literally, there's no
12:08
way life on earth will be able to protect itself like a strong
12:11
like ST of like, you never know you.
12:16
I mean, to that point, if we find something, it would be maybe
12:24
bacteria, maybe virus.
12:28
So if you think little green people on Mars in particular,
12:32
it's no, there's no real evidence that would support that
12:35
But if we do find evidence of tiny little living things that
12:40
independently formed on another planet, that was an earth
12:45
then anything could happen in this massive universe.
12:50
So if we confirm when and I think in the next decade, we'll be
12:53
able to have an answer whether or not on Mars something happened
12:56
because the next mission, the Mars sample return mission
12:59
early 20 thirties is literally going there to pick up the samples
13:02
and bring them back to earth.
13:04
Um Do you guys test them out over there first?
13:07
See if it's cool and then that's what the the rovers are doing
13:11
right now is a robot can do I mean, I have all the cleaning vacuum
13:16
Did you just compare the rover to a Roomba disrespect the same
13:23
Stay tuned and check out what's next.
13:25
After these commercial breaks, we are made of all the components
13:31
We are made of stars, we are made of stars, we are made of made
13:40
You just said if we confirm so that means right now, there's
13:44
no confirmation that there is life scientifically, there
13:52
First of all, we have been throughout the last few decades
13:56
and as of recently, as of last week with James Webb telescope
14:00
by observing other planets, figuring out that there are ingredients
14:03
for life all over the universe in our solar system and outside
14:08
So whatever happened on earth could it have happened elsewhere
14:13
Maybe we don't have what we have been saying is like in our nearest
14:19
like universe or whatever, we haven't found any life.
14:24
But if we stop the ie to God, no, but seriously in our nearest
14:36
solar system, we haven't found any life outside of ourselves
14:40
But if we look, the scientist found that there might be the
14:45
ingredients of human life or other life because I heard somewhere
14:49
that all of the components of the stars, we are made of all the
15:00
components in the are made of stars.
15:01
We are made of stars.
15:02
We are literally made of stars like a hot thing I made, we have
15:14
And I think a layer above that, which is something that astronomers
15:18
have said over the last few decades, people like Carl Sagan
15:20
is like at the end of the day, we're the universe trying to understand
15:22
itself that we are made of star and we are the universe trying
15:31
to understand itself.
15:32
It's almost like hold on.
15:35
It's almost like the human brain trying to understand itself
15:38
It's like there and then we're creating a Iy just think alike
15:46
But these are the things, I mean, this is what I'll be looking
15:49
at how Sasha has flipped it.
15:52
Now, let me tell you my theories.
15:55
Now, she's like, you know, you left the hood right now.
16:02
You went, like, actually my theory over here just talking
16:14
My theory is that aliens is not the people that we're calling
16:17
UFO S are just us on a time machine.
16:19
I said that I said I have my thought on that too.
16:23
So I wanna know, do you believe in the first of all?
16:28
Do you believe that we're the only ones here on earth personally
16:32
Do you believe that uh not on earth but like in the universe
16:35
in the universe, I, I would think there would be, I would be
16:41
incredibly arrogant to believe that we're unique.
16:50
You heard him say to it?
16:53
But we're trying to find it and hold on there.
16:55
Not only is there Mars, but then you have moons like Europa
16:58
which is a moon uh part of the Jupiter system that has more
17:03
water than I was that your system.
17:07
We know that where there's water, there's life on earth.
17:10
So there's more water in Europa than there is on this planet
17:15
So, however, there's like a 10 kilometer thick layer of ice
17:19
and we're gonna have to break through to get to that ocean,
17:22
but it's there and that's just a technical problem that I think
17:25
we're gonna solve in the next few decades.
17:26
And NASA is spearheading that with the mission in 2026 I think
17:30
is when it launches.
17:31
So, do you think in our lifetime we'll ever get that answer
17:34
II, I truly believe so.
17:35
I know people are working for it.
17:37
So we're gonna find out whether or not something exists outside
17:40
of earth and maybe it's yes, maybe it's no, I'm hoping it's
17:44
But out of all the things that you've been, you hang out with
17:48
these smarty pants and I try to absorb, you know, you're around
17:51
these guys guys and gals, you bet you guys and gals.
18:01
I'm talking right now, dude, don't you fucking cross you out
18:06
What is one thing that you're excited about that you hear and
18:09
you have like faith about like, oh you know what this is?
18:12
I, I'm excited for this.
18:13
I hope this happens.
18:15
This gives me hope or is it all just scary?
18:18
And we're all pretty much dying?
18:19
You don't want to tell us?
18:20
That's a good question.
18:21
So we're trying to, no, we're, we're trying to prevent that
18:24
from happening by expanding into the solar system.
18:27
Uh So there's that aspect which I truly think is a noble pursuit
18:31
Now, it's super exciting that we are trying to tap into the
18:36
solar system because truly uh the resources that we think
18:40
are limited here on earth, there's just infinite amounts
18:43
of everything all around us in the solar system.
18:45
And once we start tapping into that, who knows how society
18:49
and how the world is going to evolve?
18:51
So I have a question.
18:52
How do you um have you ever met anyone with your hinge profile
19:01
We can talk about that too.
19:02
It's a little bit in my mind.
19:08
So she can you let me talk?
19:11
She looked like amber.
19:14
Let her finish these guys, man, they let her finish.
19:20
Have you ever came across a flat earther that tells you like
19:26
Have you ever slept with a flat earther?
19:29
I'm just saying it doesn't make sense if that's the case.
19:31
But when I hear flat earth, I'm like, oh it's going down tonight
19:37
you know what I'm saying?
19:39
You know what I'm saying?
19:40
You know what I mean?
19:41
Like you put on that nasty jacket like you know what?
19:44
You're right, bitch.
19:45
It's like I told everybody but you got to keep it quiet.
19:51
I'll tell you exactly where the flat earth is at where there's
19:56
a flatter surface called the bed.
19:57
I'm going to show you the bed, I'll just say it if I would just
20:03
Anyway, how do you debunked or like how do you even have a conversation
20:08
with someone like that?
20:09
It's difficult because people like that typically are already
20:12
so set in their ways that unless they are truly curious, want
20:17
to engage in a conversation.
20:18
I'm just not even going to bother because we were watching
20:20
these clips and people like, oh my God, I saw something in the
20:23
What do you, how do you explain that?
20:26
Do you watch that as a, as an engineer and go like that's like
20:29
these people could it just be that you guys are just out there
20:31
working and you're like, man, come on, can we just keep it?
20:34
You guys tap into a thing that you're like, man.
20:36
So to that point, right?
20:38
And I think it goes back to things even like when people talk
20:40
about the pyramids and, and all this stuff, my first argument
20:44
is like humans are smart as shit, not all of them.
20:49
I know, but you know, we are, they're smart and just based on
20:55
stuff that I've worked on.
20:58
There are things that may look alien and may look completely
21:03
exotic, but it's very scientifically driven.
21:09
There's incredible people out there that are doing so much
21:12
work and so much research that I hate to not give them credit
21:16
and credit some stupid alien because I have friends working
21:19
on some crazy tech that I know that they, they dedicate their
21:24
lives to this kind of stuff.
21:26
Um And, and to that point right.
21:27
Also another, another light to this to bring up the Pentagon
21:32
and maybe they're not gonna like me for saying this kind of
21:34
Do you know what do you, you never, but I, I love talking about
21:37
government and I'm super passionate about politics and,
21:40
and, and statesmanship and all this good stuff.
21:43
Imagine that you have someone like Russia or China developing
21:46
their own tech and they're able to fly into our airspace.
21:51
Do you want to admit that to the public or do you want to say,
21:54
yo, can someone just speak up and say that that's a UFO that
22:00
So what looks better for the public?
22:02
Because otherwise you could start having people get really
22:06
And that's what happened a few months ago with the stupid balloon
22:10
the weather ballet, the blue.
22:11
I, I have a question.
22:12
What about the people that say that they got a hold on?
22:15
Let him finish calling Yall Drum.
22:16
Please let him finish calling you guys.
22:22
So the balloon thing I think was such a waste of money.
22:25
Um because as I showed this on my Instagram in my master's,
22:31
I like for, for one of my classes in my master's.
22:35
You saw some documentary in my master's for one of my classes
22:40
Uh We built a high altitude balloon and you can project how
22:45
it's gonna fly and you can put cameras and, and, and you can
22:49
put whatever sensors you want and it costs like $1000 to build
22:53
And, and here we are with how however much an F-22 cost, I don't
22:59
remember, but that's hundreds of millions of dollars using
23:03
a missile that cost 500 million a pop or whatever it is, or 500,000
23:09
a pop to blow up a balloon.
23:11
That was just to wait, mess around with the US.
23:16
So that kind of stuff kind of why can't you just pop it with like
23:19
you, you can, that you can just pull up with the drone and just
23:23
and it would have been enough.
23:25
But the problem uh yeah, there, there's reasons but you see
23:28
this is what I have trust issues.
23:29
You know, I'm Latino, I've been light through all my life,
23:32
you know what I'm saying?
23:33
And this is what I hate.
23:34
I hate that people are lying to me and, and if you're saying
23:37
this, it makes me wonder like, what else are they lying about
23:41
It could have been like a group of students literally flying
23:44
and they didn't call the FAA to say, hey, we're flying a balloon
23:47
here today because again, with 1000 bucks, you can just build
23:50
a balloon however, and it's really not FAA.
23:54
Um So, you know, these things that people see more often than
23:58
not, I think it's just like either projects that people are
24:03
Uh remember, not only is there a government but there's also
24:06
corporations and corporations as we learn, they do whatever
24:10
They're probably building some stuff that's lying around
24:13
and no one really knows it.
24:14
But you don't know, you don't know what happened with the balloon
24:16
I mean, your blown up.
24:18
But you know where it came from and stuff like that.
24:20
It was confirmed, it was a Chinese balloon.
24:22
Did they confirm it?
24:23
You got to show and you got a poise strength that you have an
24:25
F-22 that can blow up anything in the sky that comes in, right
24:29
So that's kind of part of it.
24:30
So I understand, but also like we just wasted a ton of money
24:35
So basically what you're pretty much explaining is that a
24:37
lot of these things are just sensationalized just to distract
24:41
people from big words.
24:43
Now, I believe the fact that her posture went out with the folding
24:48
and I've never seen, can we look back at other episodes?
24:51
I've never seen her crisscross applesauce like that before
24:58
Yeah, this is something we really wanted to talk about.
25:01
So now that I want to know more about your new um new projects
25:05
that you're working on, you're saying that you are working
25:08
with Bezos and more about the lunar missions and stuff like
25:12
And it's just for it to one to take these bigger corporations
25:19
To make it safer or more livable.
25:23
But because we already know, or you mentioned that there's
25:26
so many minerals and all these things outside in the universe
25:30
Could there be a future where people are just living in a ship
25:37
Um, and I, I, I'm just going to talk about the show that, that
25:41
presents a good way.
25:43
And the thing is that your science from a show that's making
25:48
Well, the expanse actually had a great scientific board and
25:51
it came from a novel and I'm blanking out on the names and it's
25:54
like very well scientifically written because I got my degree
25:57
from watching uh Interstellar and let me tell you something
26:02
dude, that was a good one too.
26:04
They actually used the black hole.
26:06
We'll talk about that later you can get crazy with because
26:08
no one really knows.
26:09
Well, that makes a difference.
26:13
So I think it's gonna happen.
26:14
People are gonna be living in space and we don't truly know
26:18
The one thing I always tell people, right?
26:20
It's, it's not romantic at all to be in space.
26:22
Space, space is dangerous.
26:25
Space is not, uh it's not meant for humans really.
26:30
Well, Sasha got all the space on her bucket list.
26:35
I mean, all I said was that I would love to know what zero gravity
26:40
feels like that's on my bucket list, but you can do that on the
26:45
air that it's expensive.
26:51
Yeah, like zero gravity floating in with somebody floating
27:07
We've asked them no one.
27:10
People don't admit it.
27:12
And there's definitely been romance in space.
27:15
You look this up because it's intense.
27:18
Wait, wait, why is it intense?
27:19
Because people go a little bit drama, drama will go with us
27:28
We're just a human being.
27:29
We're just, we're, we're human as we said at the same time.
27:32
And let me tell you something, you don't want to see me in space
27:35
You know what I'm saying?
27:38
Hey, what's going on?
27:39
Hey, Josh, what are you doing?
27:41
I, that's one of the things that are on my bucket list.
27:44
I don't know if there's people that are watching this and would
27:46
like to know like, how can they go about maybe trying to experience
27:52
Like being in zero gravity for now you got to have money.
27:57
So we're trying to make space more accessible over the next
28:00
Like 100 years ago, the people that were flying on airplanes
28:02
were paying a lot of money to do it.
28:05
And I think now obviously we can all just, you know, where you
28:07
can go for free, the nearest pool, you just go in there, you
28:14
Well, to that point, they do train the astronauts and give
28:17
them water to understand how to navigate.
28:20
It's not quite the same, but it's the closest we could get.
28:26
Um But yeah, I think there's going to be opportunities in our
28:29
I'm trying to go to space.
28:31
You want to go to space 100%.
28:35
It's whack over there.
28:36
That's why I'm an engineer working on it to make sure it's safe
28:39
And also, wouldn't you be bored out of your fucking mind?
28:42
I would be so bored if I was in space.
28:45
I don't feel like I got locked up, worried about surviving
28:51
And doesn't that scare you knowing that what happened with
28:53
the, with the submarine, things like that can happen in space
28:58
So that specific submarine that just happened is one of the
29:01
most ridiculous engineering failures and all of us in all
29:04
the engineering fields are talking about it because it was
29:06
entirely preventable.
29:07
Uh They did a lot of stupid shit that shouldn't have happened
29:12
They, they materials incorrectly like you just look at their
29:17
videos and the way they mounted screens onto carbon fiber
29:20
plate, the whole thing that pick you off the most that you like
29:24
Are you fucking kidding?
29:25
I think when I learned uh when, when I saw what I just described
29:30
this video that shows a monitor drilled into a carbon fiber
29:34
plate, I was just like if they got away with that, this whole
29:39
thing was just a joke.
29:42
And uh unfortunately, people died and, and I think that's
29:45
also something we are very conscious of in space.
29:48
It's just like we can't do that.
29:50
Oh, don't X out check what's coming up after this commercial
29:54
Have you ever came across the flat earther that tells you like
29:59
Have you ever slept with a flat earther?
30:01
That's why I don't get in my uncle's car.
30:02
He's got a Nissan Altima with a Chevy Silverado truck is flying
30:07
We ain't going to get a moon.
30:10
Yeah, I'm just saying that I got a question.
30:14
Do you think um companies are gonna have to work with the government
30:19
for certain regulations to go into space or is it that's what's
30:22
happening right now?
30:23
And anything that will be human certified, especially if
30:26
for now people are trying to fly NASA astronauts, that's like
30:31
You gotta build stuff to a certain standard for NASA to be like
30:34
yeah, we're gonna put our astronauts on there.
30:36
So who do you trust whose rocket would you ride on?
30:39
That sounded dirty as hell.
30:41
Hey guys, what are you fucking Bezos or three of us are comics
30:54
And we'll watch special.
30:55
We make fun of the special like that.
30:58
Do you watch like other people?
31:01
He put that, oh God, this guy, right?
31:03
He tends to be pretty critical of each other.
31:06
We do and some people are doing better than others and we we
31:13
Do you ever build anything on your personal use that you're
31:15
like, oh, like this is my own little invention that I have in
31:20
I don't have to brush my own teeth.
31:22
Something has stuff like that.
31:26
The next one down and I built the most recently said, man, I
31:32
do this for a living.
31:33
So, you know, I home, I'm trying to chill.
31:37
Oh You're one of those.
31:41
And were you always interested in space?
31:45
Like growing up as a kid?
31:46
Like was that your thing like, you know, I think, yes.
31:50
And I'm gonna pitch the book right now.
31:54
I, I recently going to the details of all that and uh the boy
31:58
who reached for the stars, I had the opportunity to publish
32:00
with Harper Collins and um I talk about the influences and
32:05
and for me, I, I didn't grow up with much at all.
32:07
So the way I was consuming media was TV, cartoons.
32:11
That's kind of what led to the imagination just being active
32:15
And then at home, my mom was a teacher.
32:17
So part of it was uh I couldn't show up with anything less than
32:20
an A so that lines up pretty well with uh having to go after scholarships
32:25
and opportunities to go to college.
32:27
And uh oh, so your mom was super supportive.
32:31
She was like I I you about that dude.
32:37
So your mom is every time I put on this role, my mom used to make
32:41
fun of me these glasses.
32:42
Let me tell you this is why I'm inside.
32:49
And that's, that's very important that parents, we need to
32:53
Like see what happens.
32:55
And I talk about that your whole family supportive, like your
32:58
uncle, I grew up a single mother household uh in Puerto Rico
33:02
and, and the family was mostly between New York and, and Ecuador
33:04
So really, truly uh it was my mom and I and your mom probably
33:09
showed you, she showed you off so much.
33:12
He's in the Moon Perro when he comes back.
33:16
She's probably for the conversation.
33:21
She's saying that, oh I'm sorry, I don't even at the store like
33:25
it's going to be 150.
33:26
My son, he's a scientist.
33:29
As when you go home and visit mom, does she make you put the jacket
33:31
on and get that Jack humbled.
33:35
I mean, this is why I go back to New York every time that I can
33:38
hang out with the grandparents.
33:39
And Mr Nasa, you didn't even flush the toilet when you walked
33:42
in the toilet seat down.
33:47
One of my questions is like, you know, being able to work at
33:51
How many Latinos are you working with?
33:54
And we know this is why we're out here trying to tell these stories
33:56
because we want more.
33:57
So what you're like, fuck, I can't believe I'm here.
34:01
That's a great question.
34:01
I think I had that after all was said and done, I was very focused
34:06
on getting the mission done.
34:08
And once we got to Mars and I started working operations and
34:12
running a lot of the components of the rover is when I start
34:15
realizing, I mean, I was very conscious that there's not many
34:17
people that sound and look like me there.
34:19
Uh But then truly, when II I got, I got to a point that started
34:22
reflecting, it was writing this book um that I realized how
34:27
special that that is.
34:29
And I think people opened the doors for me and I'm very conscious
34:34
I had, I have, I had incredible mentors, Latinos, Latinas
34:38
that got me to, to, to, to work on this mission that I did.
34:42
Uh It's super important to me to, to do the same moving forward
34:47
and, and to the doors that were open for me, keep them open and
34:50
open more and more and more as we go on.
34:51
I think that's, that's the message I try to communicate and
34:54
I truly live by those words.
34:56
Yeah, I think this is great because honestly, I feel like right
34:59
now we're living in a generation where all these Children
35:01
they just want to be tiktokers and they want to be all this
35:04
stuff when it's like, there's more important things.
35:06
I mean, honestly, I mean, because we need people who are going
35:10
to take action to the better of the future.
35:13
We're all just going to be tiktokers and just be like, and,
35:15
and to that point, right at the end of the day, moving into the
35:19
world we're moving into to, that's gonna be really driven
35:21
by a lot of these A I innovations.
35:23
That was another question I was gonna have, we'll talk about
35:26
we'll talk about that for sure.
35:27
But I think that's especially important that we as Latinos
35:31
get involved in tech and in into this world because our culture
35:36
needs to continue showing up and in the spaces where design
35:42
choices are being made, we need to be represented.
35:44
I wanna, I wanna listen to bad bunny on the moon to that point
35:50
When I want to experience bad bunny and zero gravity when I
35:53
was playing, when I was in the lab doing the work for the Mars
35:56
Rover, I specifically brought my speaker and I was like, this
35:59
is what we're listening to today because otherwise it wasn't
36:03
Oh I bet you, William hated that.
36:05
I mean, he's bringing out Woogie boogie stuff.
36:08
One of the things I'm telling you this is like Jesus Christ
36:13
What the hell did you get hit with the ruler in school?
36:26
I used to see it all the time anyway, we'll talk about that.
36:31
Some other times you got the cut.
36:38
I didn't, you didn't get bullied.
36:41
Well, you know, when you're handsome, like the way you want
36:43
you hit on something.
36:48
If we don't acknowledge the cuteness, then we're gonna keep
36:53
Like Sasha's giggling and we can't sit her so straight.
36:56
Let me tell you something.
36:57
Is there a lot of smart like hot uh uh Rican Hot?
37:02
Uh What do you call them?
37:03
I have like real questions.
37:10
We're about to get hit by hr and lawsuits.
37:12
I think what he's trying to say is when we watch movies, there's
37:16
the scientist is always a bald white guy.
37:19
Yeah, you, you show up, you got a sleeve, you got the earring
37:24
you got a cool look to you.
37:25
You got a swagger to you.
37:27
How many science bitches come up to you and be like, oh my God
37:30
I want to know something.
37:32
What is that music you play?
37:34
I just, you're like, oh you know, yeah, you're in the coffee
37:40
room and shit and you're just like, I just, I really like your
37:42
oh you like that, you know, that's what I do.
37:45
You know, I, I bring that little, you know, little touch to
37:48
NASA and shit, you know what I mean?
37:51
So I'm just saying there's no dudes that are swagged out like
37:55
that and that you don't be nice to those boys.
38:00
Those boys are nerds.
38:04
Yeah, they're fucking nerds, dude.
38:06
You're at the bar and you're just like, uh, well, technically
38:10
the amount of alcohol that they poured into that cup and do
38:12
that, that's the thing.
38:17
Like when you think about a scientist, you think about someone
38:19
that looks like you right now, I can't believe I'm not getting
38:29
You are not getting on the ship.
38:30
You were this close to get on the ship?
38:32
So I have, I have a real quick question.
38:34
So do you guys think that right now with the missions that you
38:37
are working with and trying to accomplish is a i an asset or
38:42
is it something that you guys are afraid of?
38:44
I'm, I'm excited for it.
38:50
Director of Pinocchio.
38:54
Give me um he, he said it best.
38:59
Uh and, and I'll, I'll quote, I'm not afraid of artificial
39:03
I'm afraid of natural stupidity.
39:08
Like that's the best way to put it because at the end of the day
39:12
it's a tool and people are programming, humans are programming
39:15
it to be whatever it's gonna be.
39:17
I wanted to, you know, admit something.
39:19
I'm actually hard to believe it.
39:21
I'm not a scientist and fooled.
39:26
Uh I just have a lot of pens and I'm actually not a scientist
39:33
I actually am a, I was a silver tooth kid.
39:36
Do you know what a silver tooth kid is.
39:41
We're going on a ride.
39:42
Uh we're gonna take a quick commercial break but when we come
39:45
back, I'm gonna show you videos of silver two kids.
39:47
So the kids, you know the kids that grow up with silver teeth
39:50
You know what I mean?
39:51
They can't even take care of their own.
39:52
You look like confused and you don't know what's up, check
39:54
out what's coming up next after this commercial break.
39:57
The human helicopter.
39:58
No, she getting ready.
39:59
She getting ready to go on a NASA mission right there.
40:06
Did you ever experience something like this?
40:09
We're here uh at the uh three G in the pod and my favorite segment
40:14
It's the silver tooth kid of the week.
40:17
Uh Again those little bad kids that just run around.
40:20
Don't listen, they always have silver teeth, you know.
40:24
Ok, I'm not gonna lie and uh I'm gonna unbuckle this because
40:27
it's getting a little hot.
40:30
You better watch your mouth.
40:31
You keep staring at my my buttons on my zipper.
40:34
I don't know what's going on over there.
40:35
I watch the video, I've never seen an H and M lab coat.
40:37
So this is a video of the silver tooth K of the week.
40:46
So what we have here we have.
40:47
Oh yeah, the human helicopter.
40:51
She getting ready, she getting ready to go on a NASA mission
40:56
Training them young.
40:59
Did you ever experience something like this?
41:01
Like an older sibling?
41:02
I did that to my nieces.
41:04
You see, by the ankles or you did by the hands.
41:07
Here's, I know she's OK with it because she's in a position
41:10
of like, all right, I'm gonna control my hair and you do what
41:13
you gotta do, by the way.
41:15
Classic Latino couch.
41:17
You know what I mean?
41:18
I have a thea who has the same couch.
41:20
I remember me of when my cousin was supposed to babysit me and
41:25
he wasn't supposed to have any girlfriends over and he was
41:29
like, oh you want to play Tarzan?
41:30
And I was like, yeah, sure.
41:32
So we had a bunk bed and he just tied me to the bunk bed and I was
41:35
just hanging there while he was hanging out with some girl
41:39
I was like, we had the oldest sibling to take care of the, she
41:44
got some weird fetishes.
41:45
Do you want to play Tarzan to the bed and just leave like Tarzan
41:52
You ever tie somebody up?
41:53
This kid is going to, man?
41:55
If he drops her, bro, it was a rabbit.
41:58
I'm glad he didn't just like this.
42:01
It can go flip flop.
42:04
I know she could have broken her whole entire skill you start
42:09
Maybe that's a little uncle because that was me, this kid is
42:14
also who's recording.
42:15
It's got to be a kid because look at the size of the like this
42:18
level, ground level.
42:19
So it's another little kid recording.
42:22
What do you want me to do?
42:28
And the girl is just like, let me tell you something.
42:32
If, if that little girl, well, no, I don't think y'all can carry
42:40
Just be real, don't you?
42:42
Listen, sweet cheeks.
42:43
We saw the jacket question it.
42:46
We agree with you also noticed the nuts like that thing swollen
42:55
You got a, you look like a zest, the version of him.
43:00
You know what I'm saying?
43:01
He just looked like he got on the time machine and then he came
43:07
Look at the phone, bitch ass.
43:09
All right, here we go.
43:10
We got our next segment PK Ken.
43:12
Uh It's, we, we give advice and we're glad we have.
43:16
Like I said, I love that having another learned individual
43:18
on the couch with me because sometimes the advice can go a little
43:21
a little off the rails over there over there.
43:27
We answer fan mail, we answer voicemails.
43:29
We, you know, if you have questions right into our Instagram
43:32
or youtube and we will answer it here live and uh hopefully
43:36
we can help you out or mess things up worse.
43:39
Listen, we're not experts.
43:41
Let's keep it real for you guys.
43:43
Uh Liam Hit us with the first question.
43:48
I'm with a girl I'm currently talking to and she's really,
43:51
really big on astrology and a big believer in extraterrestrial
43:56
Uh She tends to introduce herself with these facts and her
43:59
sign, um Everything's been going pretty well except now she's
44:04
really digging deep into my, like my earth chart and she doesn't
44:10
know if this is gonna be able to work.
44:12
Should I pack up and give up or give her a chance?
44:15
What Sasha already knows what these are?
44:20
I know too because I've been on the receiving end of like, it's
44:28
like it's a thing now in L A like dating in L A is, is that now what's
44:33
the, so what's your, what's your main three?
44:35
Are you quick question?
44:39
What is your, what's your birthday?
44:43
I just had my golden birthday.
44:47
Are you one of those birthday wig?
44:49
Don't be that guy, dude.
44:57
You're just like, OK, look, I think that the reality of it is
45:06
that you can't really judge anybody by their sign, right?
45:08
It's just like, are you an evolved human being or are you not
45:12
But it's good to know what you're working with.
45:15
You know what I mean?
45:18
Should you dump her?
45:21
Yes, I believe in magic.
45:28
If she's really being annoying about it and she's really,
45:31
really, really, really, truly believes it because I think
45:34
that some people just want to know for fun and kind of be like
45:36
you know what dude, you know, I picked a different Jesus.
45:41
First of all, Sagittarius, you already know what?
45:44
Sagittary, sagittary gang all day, every day.
45:47
You know what I'm saying?
45:48
Nothing annoys me more when a girl does it.
45:49
Like, what's the sign?
45:50
You're like, oh Capricorn, I see it and you're like, you see
45:53
what, what are you talking about?
45:56
I hate when people were just like such a cap.
45:58
I don't like the sign thing like, what's your sign?
46:00
I'm like, I think it's work and we're gonna leave it at this
46:06
I'm gonna say this right?
46:08
Women or whatever, like more people are gonna be, it's gonna
46:11
be like a I, all right.
46:13
People are just gonna wanna know your main thing.
46:15
There's nothing that you, there's just a lot more people that
46:17
are a I Yeah, this is gonna be like that.
46:21
It's just like kick you right.
46:24
I'm saying, I'm just saying that the main three situation
46:28
is not gonna go away.
46:29
Like people are gonna be more like, oh, what time were you born
46:31
And it's probably gonna involve to like, oh what second were
46:34
It's just what I'm saying is the conversation before.
46:36
Used to be like, oh, what sign were you like, what, what day
46:40
And then now it's just evolving into something more.
46:43
These apps are making it too easy.
46:44
That's what I'm saying.
46:47
Gotta be incredibly smart.
46:50
I beg the diff the dumber the better because imitate something
46:57
He say he would have been like, oh I got the wall card cause if
47:01
she would have said I really had aliens and I'm like, oh this
47:06
Let me tell you something right now.
47:09
Let me tell you about, you're right.
47:13
Are you the fuck up?
47:16
We gotta keep it on the low though.
47:18
All right, I always knew.
47:20
I know bitch, I know you.
47:21
That's why I'm here to tell you that, that you've been right
47:24
So let's go to my room and I'll discuss alien activities.
47:29
Oh my God, can I bring a friend?
47:31
Don't bring a friend.
47:32
They were, they believe that people have been probed and I'm
47:35
just like I don't buy any of this.
47:36
I'm a probe the fuck out of you.
47:39
You got a space is Honda experiment.
47:44
I don't think you should.
47:47
What I'm trying to say is I don't think you should dump her because
47:49
a lot more people are believing in it now and you know, which
47:55
So you're saying don't dump her because a lot of people believe
47:58
But if he doesn't believe that this man some real advice.
48:03
But if he doesn't believe in it, why is he gonna stay with forever
48:07
Because there's a lot of women that believe it, but there's
48:09
a lot of that don't, so you're making it sound like this dude
48:11
should, should take her on like a, like a restoration project
48:14
Like, listen, you can fix her.
48:15
Like if he doesn't, if they're not on the same page about this
48:21
I can't date you because you're the sign then.
48:26
That's insane because like I said before, you know, say what
48:30
I was saying is that you cannot judge like you can't just be
48:33
like, oh you're this sign like no, you can't judge a person
48:37
Either you're an evolved human being or you're not a strong
48:41
Martin Luther King over here.
48:42
Don't judge by this added to the equation.
48:47
How big are the titties?
48:48
Because let me tell you something.
48:49
Oh my God, I apologize.
48:53
Are you going to be like this man has a masters?
49:01
You don't have to have a rover on if you're going to give her
49:03
a, you when God, I don't give a fuck.
49:09
What kind of scientist you are when there's titties involved
49:11
you're like, oh, well, we'll work it out, we'll figure it
49:13
You know what you tell your smart buddies, you tend to short
49:17
I just think that, that was the smart ass looking.
49:22
Oh, my God, that could be part of it.
49:24
And I've been there, I've been there, I've been there.
49:26
It's like they kind of, they're obsessed with astrology.
49:33
I think that the true thing is, like, get to know the person
49:35
and if you know that if you like them, then you go study up some
49:41
That's another thing.
49:42
Let's talk about that.
49:43
And then if they like aliens, all right, you talk, you talk
49:46
what I was talking about, you talk about what's happening
49:48
with sucking on Europa.
49:50
What nasa's doing at the end of the day.
49:52
If you get to know the person, if that's something that you're
49:54
into, then that's like people have different beliefs.
49:56
It sounds like he's having a problem with this.
49:58
So that's why I say if you have a different belief, then you
50:00
shouldn't date with her, then that's it.
50:02
You have and you learn to accept it.
50:06
That could also be a thing.
50:08
You got to learn to live with the differences too.
50:12
I know you're worth king.
50:17
