Do you sound stuffed up? No. Yeah, you know what? I don't feel sick, but I do feel mildly congested. Yeah. This has been all week. You're not going to like this comment, because no one does. You don't look well. I don't. No. I just like you haven't slept in days. I was just going to get tired eyes. That's how I was going to put it. If we're talking about it, you just look tired. Yeah. I haven't felt myself this week. Yeah, you've been off. Okay. I've been off for sure. I've had a lot of new addition concerts, so just you're doing those things for us. I'd like to say it's that, but I don't, yeah, I don't know. I do. And I feel like my energy is, well, yeah, you just, you, I mean, I've had a cold. It seems like maybe you're like a little rundown or something. Yeah. Maybe I'm rundown. Maybe you're, maybe you're rundown. You know, it's funny too, is that, you know, my birthday is next week. Yeah. And I'm just not looking forward to it. Yeah. You stop looking forward to birthday. You don't look forward to birthdays anymore. Well, I mean, you had Brandon Flowers, I sent you a video last year, so it's like, how

do you ever top that now, you know, and everybody's like, it's Aries season. I'm like, yeah, Aries season sucks. No one's saying that, but you know, it's Aries season. Maybe that's why you are the only one. You don't know one thing about Aries yet. You are the only one that talks about it. I know everything about Aries. Tell me. What do you want to know? What do you know? I know that we're pretty determined. Okay. So that we're successful, have wonderful personalities, and we don't crush the souls of our friends. So there you go. I don't know about that. What are you going to do? Burn a Virgo. A Virgo. What is the Aries? It's the Ram. Yeah. There you go. And I'm a fire sign. What's the Virgo? No idea. And don't care. Is it scales? Skales. Skales. Skales. Oh, maybe. I'd rather be fire over scales. Yeah. We had enough of those in life. What's the Virgo sign? Oh, come on. I think I'm right. I used to. It looks like a woman.

I don't know. Is she holding scales? She might be. Let's see. No, the scales is a Libra. Oh. Virgo. Yeah. Is this woman? Hmm. Wow. Is she a cranky woman? Probably. That would be my guess. There was a thing I saw on social today, too. And I would have played it for I can't find it. You know, that's the worst thing about these things. You know, they pop up and you see them. And then they go away. Okay. And you never see them again. It says key facts about Virgo, the symbol, the virgin. That's what I've done. Or made in. Yeah. Or what? Or maiden. That's the virgin or maiden. Or maiden. Yeah. Or spinster. Isn't there an iron maiden? Yeah. It's an iron maiden. Yeah. But it's also a medieval reference. Didn't people get put in the iron maiden? I believe they do. And I only know that from Bill and Tenzexel. An adventure. What does it say about the Aries? It goes the Aries. What do we know about the Aries?

It's the Aries season. Oh. What? No. It tends to make people congested. Heavy pollen in the Aries season. Let's see. Key personality traits. Energetic leaders, impulsive and bold. Emotionate and honest. Baby of The Zodiac. They have a youthful, optimistic, sometimes naive, beginners-like approach to life. Your strengths. Courageous, determined, optimistic, charismatic. Your weaknesses. Inpatient, moody, aggressive, sometimes unable to follow through with projects after the initial excitement wears off. Wow. Not aggressive, though. But everything else seemed pretty. It seems on there. And work. They thrive in their roles that require leadership, speed, competitiveness, and dislike slow mundane work. That's totally sums you up. Yeah. And does it say, if you cross me, I cut you? Yes, it does, and it has your picture right next to it. Yeah. That's just a good motto to live by in general. What if you cross me?

Yeah. I mean, everyone should have a little of that. Yeah. I always know that your areas don't want to be crossed, and I don't think anybody wants to be crossed really. Yeah, but some people really don't want to. No, no, for sure. Anyway, here's the deal on the Artemis. So you know, NASA's Artemis II mission is launching today, sending four astronauts around the moon for the first crude mission in over 50 years. It is a major test run for future moon landings, and includes the first woman, first black astronaut, and first Canadian on a lunar mission. And it's a big deal because it's 50 years is a long time, and we think of the technology we had 50 years ago, and now think about it today. It's the first woman. You're, let's go around the moon, oh, to go around. Yeah. Okay. This is going to be a really dumb question. You might not know the answer to it. And that's fine. But how long is this mission supposed to? Oh, I think like eight, eight or nine days, I got it is days, okay, it takes a while to get there. Okay.

So if you don't believe in the moon landing, which I always love, do you believe this isn't going to happen today, then, too? I'm sure you have your theories. I'm sure you do. So yeah, we'll see what happens. I'm looking forward to it today. So it's the interview, NASA live yesterday, it's so funny, this is, I get the hell's second, that's the story. They booked me a NASA interview at 750 yesterday, I'm Fox two. And at the top of the seven o'clock show at seven o'clock, you know, we do, here's what's coming up this hour, and it specifically said from Annie, the producer, you know, just mention that we're getting ready for the Artemis two, don't mention the interview, so what do I do? I'm like, and I'm pretty excited because in my space minute, I'll be there. We'll be talking to NASA, and that usually leads her to screaming at me in my ear, which you're wondering why I always twitch to the right. It's, I'm getting yelled at my ear, and she said, you know that every time we book an interview with NASA, they can launch 50 billion things a year, but they somehow can't seem to connect with zoom properly. And there's some of the smartest people, yeah, sure enough, sure enough, here I am ready

to interview NASA at 750 yesterday, and they couldn't get their zoom, just got connected. That is so funny. Are we kidding me? I don't understand. And we're going back to the moon. How can that much brain power be in one room yet they can't get a zoom up? But don't they say that sometimes about geniuses that they can't do simple things? No, sure. Yeah. Yeah. That is funny, though.
