Get ready for more space talk, probably not the kind you’re thinking…unless you’re a fathead, then you probably already know! Then we round the episode out with some different mixed media you could say.

Unknown Speaker 0:00
Jamie, I had a funny experience with someone. My gym's locker room is kind of at a weird angle. So if you're leaving and someone's coming in, you're always gonna run into each other, and it's just not a good setup. Ah. But this lady was walking in as I was leaving, and we just kind of did a little dance where we were both like, just like trying to move out of each other's way, and like I'm making it so much worse. And she laughed, and then I did that again with you earlier. So yeah, yeah, that's how I solve being in a tight area with someone.
Unknown Speaker 1:04
Yeah, usually if I'm like at the store and it's like jam packed, I'm just like ah, just try to quickly move. You should just should just start doing the cha cha slide when that happens. I should just like ah, bring that out, y'all. Just have it ready on my phone and hit play. Now move aside. We're gonna slide into doing a fucking podcast.
Unknown Speaker 1:30
This
Unknown Speaker 1:31
is the Nervous Laughter Podcast. I'm Jamie.
Unknown Speaker 1:34
I'm Alyssa,
Unknown Speaker 1:36
and we like to cha-cha with you all.
Unknown Speaker 1:38
Yes, we do. Someone that I've cha-cha'd. Oh, that doesn't sound good because I was gonna say someone I've cha-cha'd with before my sister, but cha-cha like dance. I don't know. Yeah, kind of sounds like how you would dance
Unknown Speaker 1:57
the Spice Girls. Yeah, I gotcha.
Unknown Speaker 2:00
So she sent me a video on Instagram of a fucking bean potato, and she doesn't know that we've talked about this. Oh, and it said, "I want no.
Unknown Speaker 2:15
If she catches up on our episode, she's gonna be so embarrassed.
Unknown Speaker 2:18
Yeah, she should be. I said. What you want a bean potato? Oh,
Unknown Speaker 2:23
she had
Unknown Speaker 2:25
one. No, no, no, she wanted one.
Unknown Speaker 2:26
Oh, okay, okay.
Unknown Speaker 2:27
Yeah, she sent it to me like, oh, this looks so good because we send each other food stuff, and I said, like that looks so gross.
Unknown Speaker 2:37
Beans don't belong
Unknown Speaker 2:38
there. They don't, and it's funny because her and G like make fun of me for liking beans. I I don't feel like I love them or anything, but I think there was a time when like my sister came over and I was like on this bean soup kick, and so they just deemed me bean bitch, and I was like, I thought I was the bean bitch, and this looks gross to me. So, what are you doing?
Unknown Speaker 3:08
Yeah, little bean queen over here. Oh, that sounds bean queen. But
Unknown Speaker 3:13
yeah, cha-cha with the bean queen,
Unknown Speaker 3:15
bean queen on the scene. Sorry about that. You can just throw that on the floor.
Unknown Speaker 3:21
I'm doing it again.
Unknown Speaker 3:25
You did wonderful.
Unknown Speaker 3:26
Thank you. Try.
Unknown Speaker 3:28
Um, I think I did used to cha cha slide in my room by myself because we had the my mom had the CD and
Unknown Speaker 3:38
what's the rest of the CD like?
Unknown Speaker 3:40
I don't remember. I think I just kept listening to that song, or maybe it was on some type of a like you know like mix like now that's what I call 2001 or something, or you know dance club mix party whatever. Um, but yeah, I was kind of like into dancing when I was in like elementary school. Oh, not like in a going to dance class capacity, like a dancing in my room alone kind of thing. I guess how people would like sing in the shower, but they'd actually be talented, and I'm just like dancing to yeah by Usher with my fucking hat, like flipping around, rolling it on my arms like, yeah, yeah.
Unknown Speaker 4:25
I encourage you to post a video of you doing that hat trick sometime.
Unknown Speaker 4:31
Oh, okay. I haven't done it since I was little, and
Unknown Speaker 4:34
I bet it's muscle probably
Unknown Speaker 4:35
wasn't as good as I thought it was, or maybe
Unknown Speaker 4:38
it'll be better.
Unknown Speaker 4:39
Um. Yeah. So we're kind of we're talking about beans, and you know they're the magical fruit. The more you eat, the more you toot.
Unknown Speaker 4:50
Yes.
Unknown Speaker 4:50
And makes you poop.
Unknown Speaker 4:52
Yes. Fiber.
Unknown Speaker 4:53
And uh, you know who poops? Astronauts.
Unknown Speaker 4:57
I bet that's really a weird experience.
Unknown Speaker 5:01
Yep, and like recently there was the weird experience that the astronauts from that recent moon mission, which I'm sure a lot of our listeners are maybe familiar with already, but yeah, the the recent moon launch, the on the Orion spacecraft, the Artemis II mission.
Unknown Speaker 5:20
It's my cat's name, so it's special to me. Yeah,
Unknown Speaker 5:22
but that's Artemis One. She's the OG. This is
Unknown Speaker 5:25
they copied my cat. They did spacecraft, yeah.
Unknown Speaker 5:30
But yeah, they had a little toilet oopsie. I did not
Unknown Speaker 5:35
hear about this. Excited.
Unknown Speaker 5:36
I think it sounds like it was very short lived. So, I uh, I just have a little article. I'll link it in the description. It says from space.com and so you know they know everything about space.
Unknown Speaker 5:53
Love a generic name like that.
Unknown Speaker 5:55
Um, but but yeah, they reported that the toilet fan was was jammed. That's what a NASA spokesperson said. "Quote: Now the ground teams are coming up with the instructions on how to get the fan and clear the area to revive the toilet for the. And just a fun little thing. I guess NASA calls the toilet the universal waste management system.
Unknown Speaker 6:30
Class it up since you're on a fucking rocket. Yeah,
Unknown Speaker 6:38
and the the issue was with the toilet, so I guess I mean I don't really know what the fan issue was for. Maybe to like move certain things because it said they could still use it poop, but they just don't peeps. You know, I feel like I would rather have that problem than a bunch of just turds floating around you, you know. Yeah, I guess it could help with like smell and stuff. The only thing is like, I don't know how challenging it is to pee in space versus poop in space.
Unknown Speaker 7:14
I'm trying to remember because haven't you talked about toilets before and like they poop in a little bag or something.
Unknown Speaker 7:22
They have to like push themselves against the ceiling, like against the commode, so it like seals. And then for peeing, they have like, which I also have another little thing on. Yeah, they have like pee pee pee thing you put on there, I guess, to like kind of suction around the area so it'll get it, and then
Unknown Speaker 7:43
gotcha.
Unknown Speaker 7:44
I don't know this if this is what penises in space still use, but there was some kind of I guess like sleeve condomy thing they could put over sheep with. I don't know if that's like still the thing, but uh, yeah, I'll talk about another thing in a second relating to to the she thing.
Unknown Speaker 8:07
Okay, so they have pee problems.
Unknown Speaker 8:10
Yes, they have pee pee problems, but they can poop. Um,
Unknown Speaker 8:15
astronauts go poop, not pee pee.
Unknown Speaker 8:18
That should be another. That should be like another kid's book, like astronauts poop. Oh
Unknown Speaker 8:23
yeah.
Unknown Speaker 8:24
But it sounds like after a few hours, the toilet issue was fixed. Oh, mission control, you know, locked them through, you know, series of whatever how to fix it, and then of course, Mission Control said, "quote We recommend letting the system get to operating speed before donating fluid, and then letting it run a little bit after donation. I love all the like official names like donation before making a deposit into the waste management system. I
Unknown Speaker 9:02
wonder how often they're like, "Hey, keep a little bit of that piss so that we can study how pisses in space. You know what I mean? Because maybe it's like different oxygen levels affect, like
Unknown Speaker 9:13
yeah. Which is interesting that you bring that up because I'm going to talk something a little about that that too. Oh, nothing's been like studied that I know of that this little thing brought up like I don't know you'll you'll see how it connects. I just don't want to give it away. Yeah, but no, that I think that would be good too. And I think they did have some people that had to like pee in bags or something. Oh, I guess they also call the toilet hygiene bay too. It says a toilet technically known as Hygiene Bay. It's a
Unknown Speaker 9:44
hygiene bay.
Unknown Speaker 9:45
From some of the other stuff I read, it sounds like astronauts kind of give fun little names to a bunch of stuff. But yeah, I think yeah, that's pretty much like it for for that. It was just a fun little, you know, mishap, but also like.
Unknown Speaker 10:00
That's scary. I
Unknown Speaker 10:00
don't know. If I had to poop during that time, I'd I'd be like, no, I'm not going. I'm not going. Everyone's gonna know what I'm doing.
Unknown Speaker 10:07
Yeah, the idea of being in space and not having a toilet sounds so stressful.
Unknown Speaker 10:13
Oh God, it is because it's like at least you're if you're at the mall and you have to shit, like you can drive home, but like you're fucking stuck there, or like I guess same with like an airplane. Like if the bathroom goes out and it's just like
Unknown Speaker 10:28
like I gotta wait for like 18 days before we're home to poop. Do you know how long that mission was? I
Unknown Speaker 10:36
think it was just 10 days. I don't think there was any like delays or anything. Like those poor people that got stuck on the fucking ISS forever or whatever. And then the next thing I have is just about it's related to the PPs in space. I saw a like a meme about this, so I read more about it today. Basically, they have like different sizes for the urinary sleeves. Oh yeah! If it's too tight, it's basically kind of kind of like singe off the flow, so you you're not going to be able to pee. I need a pair of sleeve, and that's pretty much what ended up happening. Oh my
Unknown Speaker 11:24
god! Not because,
Unknown Speaker 11:25
and then if it's too big, you just get pee everywhere. And so, like, it sounds like guys were just kind of trending towards using the large ones, even if they didn't need to, because of like you know it's called small, medium, large for the sizing.
Unknown Speaker 11:44
Hell yeah! Whoever named their like decided the sizes. Thank you.
Unknown Speaker 11:49
And the meme I saw saw like, oh, they had to change the names to get the astronauts to like use the right ones, which is like it. At least Snopes gives it like a mixed. It sounds like it wasn't like officially renamed, like you know, in the manual or like transcribed on the peener sleeves. But it sounds like they, you know, they just had internal jokes. So like one guy said, we changed the names to large, gigantic, and humongous.
Unknown Speaker 12:25
Oh my god! I will say though, this kind of pisses me off because I'm like, you're a fucking astronaut. Like, get your shit together. Don't be worried about your fucking dick bag size. Yeah, like come on. Which
Unknown Speaker 12:38
is also funny because they I talked about this before where they were trying to make like the the things that like a woman would need, and then they were like the makeup, and it's like, bitch, I'm in space. I'm not worried about my.
Unknown Speaker 12:51
Yeah,
Unknown Speaker 12:53
which it would be super cute to have a. It would be to have a you know a beauty moment in space, but also 10 days, not too worried about it.
Unknown Speaker 13:03
Yeah, I can easily go 10 days without makeup.
Unknown Speaker 13:06
Yeah, you gotta do science up there. You don't got time for makeup. But I'm sure you know. I'm not sorry. I'm like, don't hate me if you want to do your makeup. Maybe if you're without that moment for
Unknown Speaker 13:20
us, it would be low priority. Yeah,
Unknown Speaker 13:23
but I love if you want to have a moment.
Unknown Speaker 13:24
Yeah, and like you said in that episode, I mean, most people would just bring their own makeup. Yeah,
Unknown Speaker 13:30
yeah, bring your own brushes, whatever the brands you like. You're not gonna like just be like this.
Unknown Speaker 13:36
I need a
Unknown Speaker 13:36
generic NASA. Yeah, like NASA. I've had your space ice cream. I'm not about to try your fucking makeup.
Unknown Speaker 13:45
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker 13:47
Apollo 13 astronaut Michael Collins told a similar similar tale in his 1974 book *Carrying the Fire in Astronauts' Journeys* but Collins reported the sizes were changed to extra large, immense, and unbelievable. Gross. They suggested these were the heroic terms. And oh yeah, I guess there's some guy. I'll I'll link the Snope article if you want to like read more about it, but I guess there was one guy that did a lot of work with like the bathroom systems on ships, and they call him Doctor Flush. So just kind of a fun little thing.
Unknown Speaker 14:38
Doctor Flush, scratch this out and write large on it.
Unknown Speaker 14:41
Yeah, be funny because that would be funny if if it was scratched out, but also if they decided to actually change the names like on the stuff, so they spend like a million dollars to do like this like replating on the thing. I
Unknown Speaker 14:58
didn't think about that.
Unknown Speaker 15:00
How about everything that needs a name? We just use dry erase from now on. Everything keeps changing.
Unknown Speaker 15:05
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker 15:08
Um. So yeah, that's some fun, you know, peener space stuff.
Unknown Speaker 15:14
I'm I'm mildly ticked. Yeah. Get it together.
Unknown Speaker 15:20
Yeah. Let us know what size you would use. Yeah, it's funny because naming them all just like basically different versions of large is just like I don't know the Starbucks of penises.
Unknown Speaker 15:34
Yeah, I'm just like you know what you need a fucking smaller medium like own it. It's fine, whatever. You know,
Unknown Speaker 15:41
like, would you rather get pee everywhere? Like, no one's walking around the corner, or like, I don't know. It's just, it's just funny.
Unknown Speaker 15:49
It's that was really funny.
Unknown Speaker 15:54
Yeah, and I, I mean, I guess Barbie's like, ah, that's such like a stupid thing, but also, I mean, I don't know how bored you get in space, so I don't know what like just like chatter comes around, and it's just like I don't know that that too. So I'm trying to have perspective.
Unknown Speaker 16:13
Yeah, fair, fair
Unknown Speaker 16:14
PP perspective. Um, and the last thing I have is related more to maybe you're talking about like P being in space for a while. Well, did you know that when humans visited the moon, some of the you know trash memoir items, whatever things they left behind, they also left human waste. And do you want to guess how many bags of urine, feces, and vomit were left on the moon?
Unknown Speaker 16:51
I don't know why, but vomit just like really added
Unknown Speaker 16:56
to
Unknown Speaker 16:57
it. Oh my god!
Unknown Speaker 16:58
Oh my god! If I was, if I had to go to the moon, I'd be probably fucking like too too entangle in like oh my god. Just you would be like
Unknown Speaker 17:08
spraying the bath mat of the what is it called the hygiene unit or the
Unknown Speaker 17:14
universal waste management system. Okay, I think they called yeah sorry they called it the hygiene unit too. I would make it the unhygienic unit.
Unknown Speaker 17:26
So you may not know this off the top of your head. Was there just those two dudes that went to space? I know it's like not Buzz Lightyear,
Unknown Speaker 17:36
but yeah, I'm sure he wouldn't too. Buzz Aldrin and I can't remember the his
Unknown Speaker 17:42
friend Woody, maybe. But was it just the two of them, or were there other people? I
Unknown Speaker 17:47
don't know. Let me see. Okay, I feel like a fucking idiot. Apparently, there was 12 moonwalkers.
Unknown Speaker 17:53
Oh shit. Okay, and so yeah,
Unknown Speaker 17:55
so definitely
Unknown Speaker 17:57
changes it.
Unknown Speaker 17:58
Yeah, I'm not up to date on that. I guess I just remember Buzz Aldrin the most because he like punched that guy. Yeah, like
Unknown Speaker 18:05
I should go to the moon, bitch. And I wore a fucking gigantic fucking peace act on my moon dick. I shit on the moon. I wonder if it
Unknown Speaker 18:16
was just two of them that like did the spacewalk. You know, like what everyone
Unknown Speaker 18:20
like knows. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because this says, I think it said 12 spacewalkers. I don't know how many different mission there was. Apollo 1112, 1314, 15, and 16. I didn't know there was so many Apollo.
Unknown Speaker 18:35
Damn.
Unknown Speaker 18:35
Uh, yeah, I'm way out of my um. I never belonged in my space girl, science girl era. I was such a sure you did such a such a phony when I had my internship poster. How many songs did NASA sing right now?
Unknown Speaker 18:56
So if there were 12 people, I'm gonna guess that they left like 300 bags of stuff on the moon.
Unknown Speaker 19:06
You know, I feel like that's a really good guess. Three to
Unknown Speaker 19:10
500
Unknown Speaker 19:11
It was just a mere 96
Unknown Speaker 19:14
Oh, okay. Maybe they just went up and down pretty quick.
Unknown Speaker 19:19
Yeah, that's a lot. Yeah, I guess you can't really like walk for that long, but long enough to need to shit and vomit and kiss. Oh, I thought
Unknown Speaker 19:32
you meant like from their whole trip, like up there, and then they dumped them.
Unknown Speaker 19:38
Oh yeah, no, this is just like
Unknown Speaker 19:39
oh the shit, okay, like literally while they're on the moon and like having a ship. Yeah, this is
Unknown Speaker 19:45
like their discard. It says bags, so I don't know if they just had like you know like a potty corner.
Unknown Speaker 19:51
This is where we shit on the moon. Maybe that's why Pink Floyd had like the dark side of the moon. That was like the poop side. Yeah,
Unknown Speaker 20:00
the number two side.
Unknown Speaker 20:02
Yes.
