Taking a Trip to the Moon

Summary

Laugh With Me – “Taking a Trip to the Moon”

iHeartPodcasts | Host: Jeremy Odom | April 9, 2026

---

Episode Overview

In this tongue-in-cheek episode, comedian and host Jeremy Odom, joined by his recurring guest Johnny, take on the latest NASA mission and the age-old debate: what counts as "going to the moon"? Through a series of playful metaphors and humorous skits, Jeremy questions the recent moon mission's legitimacy (they circled it, but didn’t land), pokes fun at moon landing conspiracies, and imagines an absurd future where the moon is commercialized just like any American city. As always, the show walks the line between genuine curiosity and outright parody.

Main Discussion Points & Insights

1. What Counts as Going to the Moon?

• Jeremy and Johnny dive into the recent NASA “moon mission,” which orbited the moon but didn’t land.
• Jeremy insists, “To me, that does not count. You did not go to the moon…You did go near the moon” (04:44–05:19).
• The hosts compare this to just passing by Dave & Buster’s or circling Wrigley Field’s parking lot and claiming you’ve “been to a Cubs game.”
  “You didn’t go to Dave and Buster’s then—you committed a drive-by, basically, is what you did.” (06:13–06:16, Johnny)
• They dub the trip a “lunar drive-by” and riff on the idea of “space Doordash” (06:20–06:55).

2. The Absurd Metric of “Passing By”

• Johnny jokes that, by these standards, he’s been all over: “I’ve been to Dallas because I had a layover there once. I’ve been to jail. I drove by once.” (07:21–07:26, Johnny)
• Jeremy: “The moon’s not a drive-through. You don’t get credit just for seeing it. You gotta actually land, get out, leave some footprints.” (07:37–07:44)
• The pair riff on what counts: to “really be somewhere,” you have to at least be able to complain about the parking (07:49–08:11).

3. Moon Landing Skepticism and Nostalgia

• The hosts slip into moon landing conspiracy territory—lightly.
• Jeremy questions, “Did we really land there and then for the next 50 years, act like it was really no big deal?” (08:45–09:01)
• Jokes about 1969 tech: “You’re telling me America put a man on the moon in 1969 with a computer weaker than a microwave…” (09:03–09:12, Jeremy)
• Johnny chimes: “We landed on the moon with less technology than currently exists in a gas station air fryer.” (09:21–09:25)
• They poke fun at how quick people are to believe in the moon landing, even though “you can’t even connect your printer to the Wi-Fi, but suddenly you’re an expert on lunar travel?” (09:42–09:49, Jeremy)

Notable Quote:

“If Americans really went to the moon, somebody would have stolen something. There’d be a guy in Ohio with a moon rock sitting in his garage next to an old lawnmower and you just know that’s true.”
— Johnny (10:21–10:33)

4. Commercializing the Moon: Future Predictions

• The show imagines the first thing Americans would do on the moon is take selfies and TikTok dances — not science. (11:10–11:26)
• They envision chain restaurants and sports leagues on the moon: “Once we land on the moon, we’re gonna have to start to capitalize on this…within six months after that, there’s going to be Buffalo Wild Wings on the moon.” (12:11–12:23, Jeremy/Johnny)
• Absurd sports on the moon:
  • Golf: “Today’s course, 900 miles long…Imagine the Masters on the moon—a guy hits the ball, we don’t see it again for like three days.” (13:00–13:13)
  • Basketball: “One dunk and the guy never comes down.” (13:13–13:16, Johnny)
  • Pickleball: “There’s a bunch of retired people in space helmets arguing over if the ball was out of the line.” (14:34–14:45, Johnny)

5. Moon Pies Mock Ad

• Jeremy delivers a satirical ad for Moon Pies:
  “Moon Pies—for when you want to experience the moon without actually going there. Because apparently these days, just flying near the moon counts as going to the moon.” (14:49–15:01)
• “Moon Pies have everything people love about the moon…the round shape, the weird texture, nobody’s totally sure what’s inside…” (15:04–15:18)

Notable Quote:

“Moon Pie—because at least we actually landed.”
— Johnny (16:03)

6. Life on the Moon: American Style

• The pair riff on the challenges of future lunar colonization:
  • “Can you imagine a moon job interview? …I have five years of retail experience and I can survive in an oxygen bubble. Great, can you work weekends? No. Perfect, you’re hired.” (19:49–20:04)
  • Imagining a Moon DMV: “Sir, you need Form 47B to operate a lunar golf cart…where’s Building 9? Across the crater.” (20:13–20:34)
  • Housing woes: “One-bedroom, great view of Earth, $4,800 a month, utilities included…oxygen. You gotta include oxygen.” (20:49–21:04, Jeremy)
  • Snobby “moon residents” and moon HOA meetings (“Your rover’s been parked in front of the habitat too long.”) (22:31–22:54)

7. Wrapping Up the Moon Debate

• The episode closes with a summary of the satirical stance:
  • “At the end of the day, did we go to the moon? Did this latest NASA trip take us to the moon? Or did they just do the old drive-by, fly around, say they did it, and go home?” (23:08–23:29)
  • Johnny: “This was not a moon trip. This was more like moon flirting…This only counts now when somebody lands, opens a Buffalo Wild Wings and gets denied for a moon apartment.” (23:29–23:41)
• Brief Katy Perry callback: “At this point, Katy Perry got closer to the moon than I think these astronauts did.” (23:49–23:56, Jeremy)
• Bodily function humor closes things out: “To me, [broken toilet] was the scariest part…forget the potential for exploding, the fact that you couldn’t even use the toilet for a bit.” (24:55–25:07)

---

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• On the latest NASA mission:
  “NASA’s acting all excited…But you didn’t. You sent them to the moon’s neighborhood.” (06:20–06:33, Jeremy)

• On what counts as “going”:
  “If all you have to do is fly around the moon for it to count, then I’ve been to several places…” (07:21–07:26, Johnny)

• Mocking 1969 moon landing:
  “We landed on the moon with less technology than currently exists in a gas station air fryer.” (09:21–09:25, Johnny)

• America’s knack for commercialization:
  “Humans cannot discover anything without immediately putting like a Chili’s next to it.” (12:14–12:18, Johnny)

• On Moon Pies:
  “Moon Pie—because at least we actually landed.” (16:03, Johnny)

Tone & Style

Jeremy and Johnny keep the tone light-heartedly skeptical, self-deprecating (“I can barely get approved for Earth, frankly.”), and quick with relatable American references (Dave and Buster’s, Buffalo Wild Wings, TikTok). The episode skillfully blends stand-up comedy, cultural satire, and gentle space nerding—perfect for listeners craving both laughs and a bit of “what if?” science fiction.

---

In Summary:
If you like your space talk with a side of sarcasm and cheese fries, this episode delivers—poking fun both at NASA’s accomplishments and the way we, as a culture, define adventure…and monetize it. As Jeremy sums up: being near the moon isn’t the same as going, and until there’s a B-Dubs and a $19 moon coffee, don’t expect him to count it.

[Jeremy Odom (Laugh With Me Host)]

Cued in the pepper spray singers for

[Johnny (Co-host or Guest on Laugh With Me)]

that banger of an intro.

[Jeremy Odom (Laugh With Me Host)]

Welcome back. It's a brand new episode.

[Johnny (Co-host or Guest on Laugh With Me)]

This is Laugh With Me, a podcast with Jeremy Odman.

[Jeremy Odom (Laugh With Me Host)]

I'm your host.

[Public Investing Ad Voice]

Welcome back.

[Jeremy Odom (Laugh With Me Host)]

I'm Jeremy and this is Laugh With Me.

[Jeremy Odman (Laugh With Me Intro Narrator)]

We got Johnny on the knob. Say hi, Johnny.

[Podcast Host]

No.

[Jeremy Odman (Laugh With Me Intro Narrator)]

Perfect. We roast our fears in real time Tell the truth and twist the line Take the shame, make it shine Turn the wounds Into Punchline Week 13 downloads all their phones. Jeremy texts his mom the link. She says she'll get to it soon. Week three, someone writes from Omaha. I listen on my night shift haven't smiled since dad moved out. Week six, they recorded blankets, neighbors banging on the ceiling Johnny whispers keep laughing. Louder. Laugh with me.

[Jeremy Odom (Laugh With Me Host)]

Hey, it's Joe. Thank you so much for all the positive feedback from our most recent episode,

[Johnny (Co-host or Guest on Laugh With Me)]

the Ballad of Stephen.

[Jeremy Odom (Laugh With Me Host)]

And those of you who wondered. Yeah, that's my real boss.

[Johnny (Co-host or Guest on Laugh With Me)]

Yeah. What a fool.

[Jeremy Odom (Laugh With Me Host)]

What that fool. Today we got something a little more serious to discuss, something that hopefully you guys have been all over. I don't know what your opinion on is it. That's the thing. There's so many different opinions on this and with good reason. Thus my point.

[Johnny (Co-host or Guest on Laugh With Me)]

Did we really do it? Did we really go to the moon?

[Jeremy Odom (Laugh With Me Host)]

That's where we're at. Today we're going to talk about whether or not, you know, NASA actually went to the moon or not. It just, to me, it's a, it's, it's a different situation because apparently this latest moon mission, all they did was just fly around the moon and then come back. We didn't land on the moon. We didn't actually step foot on the moon. To me, that does not count. You did not go to the moon. Now, you did go near the moon,

[Johnny (Co-host or Guest on Laugh With Me)]

Johnny.

[Jeremy Odom (Laugh With Me Host)]

I'll give them that. NASA did go near the moon and I'm giving all the credit in the world to those astronauts. They Went further into space, further away from Earth than any astronaut ever has, any human being has ever made it, ever. So all due respect to them. You know what, Johnny, let's give him some applause. What they did was record breaking, dangerous, And a successful mission in all accounts on what they were trying to achieve. But did they go to the moon? No.

[Johnny (Co-host or Guest on Laugh With Me)]

Now you didn't go to the moon.

[Jeremy Odom (Laugh With Me Host)]

It's like telling people, yeah, I went

[Johnny (Co-host or Guest on Laugh With Me)]

to Dave and Buster's this weekend.

[Jeremy Odom (Laugh With Me Host)]

And then they're like, oh, yeah, did you play some skeeball? Because they know I'm the king of skee ball in the state of Nebraska. And you go, no, I just drove past it.

[Johnny (Co-host or Guest on Laugh With Me)]

I looked at the sign and I went home.

[Jeremy Odom (Laugh With Me Host)]

I mean, you didn't go to Dave

[Johnny (Co-host or Guest on Laugh With Me)]

and Buster's then you committed a drive by, basically, is what you did.

[Jeremy Odom (Laugh With Me Host)]

And that's what this moon mission was. It was a lunar drive by. I mean, NASA's acting all excited, and then again, they should be excited. They went further into space than any human being ever has. They're saying, we sent astronauts to the moon in 2026. But you didn't. You sent them to the moon's neighborhood. Like they were around. I would compare it to like space doordash. Like they pulled up to the moon, they looked at the house number and

[Johnny (Co-host or Guest on Laugh With Me)]

they were like, I can't find the address.

[Jeremy Odom (Laugh With Me Host)]

And then they went back to Earth with their tacos.

[Johnny (Co-host or Guest on Laugh With Me)]

I mean, that's literally what this was.

[Jeremy Odom (Laugh With Me Host)]

You know, if I drive to Chicago,

[Johnny (Co-host or Guest on Laugh With Me)]

circle the parking lot around Wrigley Field and then drive home, I cannot spend 10 years telling people I've been to a Cubs game. No, no, I sat in traffic and got angry. I mean, that's just, that's the reality of it.

[Jeremy Odom (Laugh With Me Host)]

Not the same thing at all. And honestly, if all you have to do is fly around the moon for

[Johnny (Co-host or Guest on Laugh With Me)]

it to count, then I've been to several places. I've been to New Mexico because I

[Jeremy Odom (Laugh With Me Host)]

saw it from an airplane. I've been to Dallas because I had a layover there once. I've been to jail. I drove by once.

[Johnny (Co-host or Guest on Laugh With Me)]

It slowed down because I thought there might be like a Dairy Queen nearby.

[Jeremy Odom (Laugh With Me Host)]

God love a blizzard, but it just doesn't count.

[Johnny (Co-host or Guest on Laugh With Me)]

The moon's not a drive through. You don't get credit just for seeing it.

[Jeremy Odom (Laugh With Me Host)]

You gotta actually land, get out, leave some footprints.

[Johnny (Co-host or Guest on Laugh With Me)]

At minimum, somebody has to walk up there and complain. That's just where we are in society. That's how you know you've really been somewhere.

[Jeremy Odom (Laugh With Me Host)]

You got to land on the moon.

[Johnny (Co-host or Guest on Laugh With Me)]

And immediately one astronaut says, well, this is nice, but there's just really nowhere to park.

[Jeremy Odom (Laugh With Me Host)]

And then another one's like, well, there is parking meters, and why is it $20 all day parking?

[Johnny (Co-host or Guest on Laugh With Me)]

At that point, it would count. At that point, you have been on the moon.

[Jeremy Odom (Laugh With Me Host)]

Which brings up another question. Have we ever really landed on the moon? Because every time I hear about the

[Johnny (Co-host or Guest on Laugh With Me)]

moon, the story gets a little weirder. Supposedly, we landed on the moon in 1969. And I'm not.

[Jeremy Odom (Laugh With Me Host)]

I don't know if I'm on the record of saying we did or we didn't. I honestly, I'd love to put more research into this, because this most recent

[Johnny (Co-host or Guest on Laugh With Me)]

trip to the moon, to me, really

[Jeremy Odom (Laugh With Me Host)]

calls into question everything that happened in 1969. I mean, did we land there? And then for the next 50 years, act like it was really no big deal? Little suspicious to me, especially in a

[Johnny (Co-host or Guest on Laugh With Me)]

world where we like to take credit for everything.

[Jeremy Odom (Laugh With Me Host)]

You're telling me America put a man on the moon in 1969 with a computer weaker than a microwave, and we were all just like, cool.

[Johnny (Co-host or Guest on Laugh With Me)]

Anyway, back to smoking in restaurants.

[Jeremy Odom (Laugh With Me Host)]

I mean, is that. Is that what we're doing here? Thank you, Johnny. We landed on the moon with less

[Johnny (Co-host or Guest on Laugh With Me)]

technology than currently exists in a gas station air fryer.

[Jeremy Odom (Laugh With Me Host)]

And that's fact. Meanwhile, today, my phone can recognize my face, translate Spanish, order a pizza, but if there's one cloud in the sky,

[Johnny (Co-host or Guest on Laugh With Me)]

my GPS is like, I'm sorry, you live in the ocean now.

[Jeremy Odom (Laugh With Me Host)]

You ever notice how confident people are

[Johnny (Co-host or Guest on Laugh With Me)]

about the moon landing?

[Jeremy Odom (Laugh With Me Host)]

Like, oh, yeah, of course we landed. Like, they will fight to the death about it. It's like, really? You can't even connect your printer to the WI fi. No, seriously, try doing it. But suddenly you're an expert on lunar travel? I don't know if we land or not. Again, a lot more needs to be explained, in my opinion, for me to be able to say, yeah, we did, or, yeah, we didn't. All I know is I grew up

[Johnny (Co-host or Guest on Laugh With Me)]

being taught that in 1969, we landed on the moon.

[Jeremy Odom (Laugh With Me Host)]

But where are the moon souvenirs? If Americans really went to the moon,

[Johnny (Co-host or Guest on Laugh With Me)]

somebody would have stolen something. There'd be a guy in Ohio with a moon rock sitting in his garage next to an old lawnmower, and you just know that's true. Like, yeah, that's from the moon, man. Don't lean on it. The dog peed on it once. There'd be a moon gift shop. You know, we'd be trying to capitalize on this. You know, the Apollo 11 Visitor Center T shirts, snow globes, tiny astronaut magnets. You'd have beanie babies of astronauts, a $42 bottle of water. Because every tourist attraction does that now. You got to have their own bottle of water. And all that is is your regular old bottle of water with a label, the personalized label. If we ever do land again, the first thing Americans do on the moon is not going to be science. No, no, no.

[Jeremy Odom (Laugh With Me Host)]

Everybody says, oh, we'll study the surface, we'll conduct experiments. No, the first thing somebody does on

[Johnny (Co-host or Guest on Laugh With Me)]

the moon is take a selfie immediately.

[Jeremy Odom (Laugh With Me Host)]

The first words on the moon in

[Johnny (Co-host or Guest on Laugh With Me)]

28 are not going to be one

[Jeremy Odom (Laugh With Me Host)]

small step for mankind.

[Johnny (Co-host or Guest on Laugh With Me)]

No, it's going to be, hold on, I need to do this dance for TikTok. And you know, that's true. That's going to be the most important thing that happens.

[Jeremy Odom (Laugh With Me Host)]

I mean, look at it this, this set of astronauts were the first ones to do 6, 7 in space. They made a point to 6, 7 in space.

[Johnny (Co-host or Guest on Laugh With Me)]

So, you know, we got to get them tick the viral TikTok dances going on the moon.

[Jeremy Odom (Laugh With Me Host)]

Somebody's going to be up there trying

[Johnny (Co-host or Guest on Laugh With Me)]

to get a signal.

[Jeremy Odom (Laugh With Me Host)]

Can you hear me now?

[Johnny (Co-host or Guest on Laugh With Me)]

No, Karen, you're 238,000 miles away. Verizon doesn't even work in my basement. Somebody will try to open a restaurant. You know, that's going to be a thing. Once we land on the moon, we're

[Jeremy Odom (Laugh With Me Host)]

going have to start to capitalize on this.

[Johnny (Co-host or Guest on Laugh With Me)]

Humans cannot discover anything without immediately putting, like, a chili's next to it, right. Within six months after that, there's going to be buffalo wild wings on the moon.

[Jeremy Odom (Laugh With Me Host)]

Come watch the big game of buffalo wild wings. Lunar Crater 3. But you know, they're still going to. Labor's gonna be tough.

[Johnny (Co-host or Guest on Laugh With Me)]

They're still gonna have the one waitress

[Jeremy Odom (Laugh With Me Host)]

trying to do everything. Sorry, folks, we're short staffed. It's just me and one astronaut back there making mozzarella sticks.

[Johnny (Co-host or Guest on Laugh With Me)]

Not gonna get a good tip if there's restaurants.

[Jeremy Odom (Laugh With Me Host)]

And eventually there's gonna be sports.

[Johnny (Co-host or Guest on Laugh With Me)]

That's the real question.

[Jeremy Odom (Laugh With Me Host)]

Who's going to be the first sports

[Johnny (Co-host or Guest on Laugh With Me)]

league to have a game on the moon? I think it could be golf because golf already looks like a sport astronauts invented and golfers would love them. Today's course, 900 miles long and somehow still has a dress code. Imagine the masters on the moon. A guy hits the ball, we don't see it again for like three days. The announcers are still whispering for some reason. That's a. It's a beautiful shot.

[Ryan Reynolds (Mint Mobile Ad)]

By Rory.

[Johnny (Co-host or Guest on Laugh With Me)]

The ball appears to be entering another time zone. Basketball would be incredible. One dunk and the guy never comes down. You'd foul somebody and he just float away slowly like a disappointed balloon. The NBA would surely have to change all the rules for. For moon traveling.

[Jeremy Odom (Laugh With Me Host)]

Technically, yes, he traveled 14 miles.

[Johnny (Co-host or Guest on Laugh With Me)]

Baseball on the moon could be chaos. Like to see a home run derby up there. Maybe every home run would probably leave the moon entirely.

[Jeremy Odom (Laugh With Me Host)]

Like, ladies and gentlemen, that ball is now approaching Saturn. Football would be pretty dangerous, and I do think football might be the first one. I mean, they are pretty aggressive in playing their game. Everywhere but one tackle and low gravity,

[Johnny (Co-host or Guest on Laugh With Me)]

and both players will end up in orbit. So they have to figure that one out.

[Jeremy Odom (Laugh With Me Host)]

Like, penalty on the defense, unnecessary roughness.

[Johnny (Co-host or Guest on Laugh With Me)]

Also, we lost two linebackers.

[Jeremy Odom (Laugh With Me Host)]

Hockey would probably still work the same way. Canadians have been preparing for that their whole lives.

[Johnny (Co-host or Guest on Laugh With Me)]

That's the most important. That's the most important science in Canada, is how do we play hockey on the moon? You know, that's. That's a top notch priority in Canada. But honestly, when we really think about

[Jeremy Odom (Laugh With Me Host)]

it, the first sport on the moon

[Johnny (Co-host or Guest on Laugh With Me)]

is probably gonna end up being pickleball. Just because pickleball's everywhere. You're just gonna wake up one day and there's a bunch of retired people in space helmets arguing over if the ball was out of the line.

[Jeremy Odom (Laugh With Me Host)]

Jackie, we're on the moon.

[Johnny (Co-host or Guest on Laugh With Me)]

There is no line.

[Jeremy Odom (Laugh With Me Host)]

This episode of Laugh with Me, the podcast with Jeremy Odom, is brought to you by Moon Pies.

[Johnny (Co-host or Guest on Laugh With Me)]

Moon Pies for when you want to

[Jeremy Odom (Laugh With Me Host)]

experience the moon without actually going there. Because apparently these days, just flying near

[Johnny (Co-host or Guest on Laugh With Me)]

the moon counts as going to the moon.

[Jeremy Odom (Laugh With Me Host)]

That's like me driving past the grocery store and telling everybody, yeah, I bought produce. No, you didn't, Jeremy. You looked at Kroger from a stoplight. But Moon pies. Moon pies actually deliver. You open the package, you hold it in your hand, you can eat it. That counts. Moon pies have everything people love about the moon. The round shape, the weird texture. Nobody's totally sure what's inside of it. But unlike the actual moon, Moon pies are available at most gas stations for under $2. Try doing that with NASA. Hi, yes, I'd like one trip to the moon, please. That'll be $4.2 billion. No, thanks. I'll just get a banana Moon pie and a Dr. Pepper. Moon pies are perfect for every occasion. Road trips, lunch breaks, family reunions, pretending you're an astronaut while sitting in your car outside of Dave and Buster's and now including the new Moon Pie slogan Moon Pie because at least we actually

[Johnny (Co-host or Guest on Laugh With Me)]

landed

[Jeremy Odom (Laugh With Me Host)]

Moon Pies available wherever poor decisions at fountain drinks are sold.

[Jeremy Odom (Laugh With Me Host)]

Now, eventually, when we get to the moon, we get to the moon more frequently. We're gonna have people living there. I know that's the goal is to have a whole community up there. That's what Things are going to get real weird when you got to apply

[Johnny (Co-host or Guest on Laugh With Me)]

for a job on the moon.

[Jeremy Odom (Laugh With Me Host)]

Can you imagine a moon job interview. So tell us a little about yourself. Well, I have five years of retail

[Johnny (Co-host or Guest on Laugh With Me)]

experience and I can survive in an oxygen bubble.

[Jeremy Odom (Laugh With Me Host)]

Great. Can you work weekends?

[Johnny (Co-host or Guest on Laugh With Me)]

No.

[Jeremy Odom (Laugh With Me Host)]

Perfect. You're hired.

[Johnny (Co-host or Guest on Laugh With Me)]

Nobody on the moon wants to work weekends. Sounds like Earth.

[Jeremy Odom (Laugh With Me Host)]

There will be normal jobs, too.

[Johnny (Co-host or Guest on Laugh With Me)]

Moon Starbucks, Moon Walmart, Moon dmv. Can you imagine the moon dmv?

[Jeremy Odom (Laugh With Me Host)]

You already wait three hours on Earth. Now imagine waiting three hours in a

[Johnny (Co-host or Guest on Laugh With Me)]

space helmet while a lady named Denise tells you you're in the wrong line.

[Jeremy Odom (Laugh With Me Host)]

Sir, you need Form 47B to operate a lunar golf cart. Like, where do I get that?

[Johnny (Co-host or Guest on Laugh With Me)]

Building nine.

[Jeremy Odom (Laugh With Me Host)]

Well, where's Building nine? Across the crater.

[Johnny (Co-host or Guest on Laugh With Me)]

No, thank you. I'm just gonna be walking everywhere the moon apartment process will be just impossible. Landlords are evil here on Earth. It doesn't matter what planet you're on.

[Jeremy Odom (Laugh With Me Host)]

Apartment available.

[Johnny (Co-host or Guest on Laugh With Me)]

One bedroom.

[Jeremy Odom (Laugh With Me Host)]

Great view of Earth. $4,800 a month, utilities included. No, what utilities about? Oxygen. You gotta include oxygen. $4,800 a month.

[Johnny (Co-host or Guest on Laugh With Me)]

There'll be moon realtors. This charming lunar studio has lots of natural light. No, it doesn't. Literally, in space, this unit features an open floor plan.

[Jeremy Odom (Laugh With Me Host)]

Yeah, it's because there's no walls.

[Johnny (Co-host or Guest on Laugh With Me)]

We're on the moon.

[Jeremy Odom (Laugh With Me Host)]

You'll just be renting a tent and a crater.

[Johnny (Co-host or Guest on Laugh With Me)]

Then they'll hit you with the moon apartment requirements.

[Jeremy Odom (Laugh With Me Host)]

First month's rent, last month's rent, security deposit, and the proof that you can

[Johnny (Co-host or Guest on Laugh With Me)]

survive a meteor strike. The apartment application will ask impossible questions,

[Jeremy Odom (Laugh With Me Host)]

like, do you have references?

[Johnny (Co-host or Guest on Laugh With Me)]

Like who.

[Jeremy Odom (Laugh With Me Host)]

Who. Who could possibly give a reference for

[Johnny (Co-host or Guest on Laugh With Me)]

me on the moon? Neil Armstrong.

[Jeremy Odom (Laugh With Me Host)]

Have you ever been evicted from another celestial body? I'm barely. I'm barely approved for Earth, frankly. And you know, there's gonna be that

[Johnny (Co-host or Guest on Laugh With Me)]

one guy who's lived on the moon for, like, six months, and suddenly he comes. He's just superior to everybody.

[Jeremy Odom (Laugh With Me Host)]

Oh, you still live on Earth? Yeah, Brant, because I enjoy things like

[Johnny (Co-host or Guest on Laugh With Me)]

oxygen not exploding the moon. People are gonna be insufferable. I mean, I can just see it now. They'll come back from holidays acting all fancy. Well, you've never had moon coffee. The gravity changes the flavor. No, it doesn't chat. It's literally folgers. You paid $19 for it because it comes in a silver pouch. It's America, baby.

[Jeremy Odom (Laugh With Me Host)]

And eventually, just like everywhere else, the moon's gonna have its own Facebook neighborhood page. Did anybody else hear a loud noise near Crater 7? Yeah, Sharon, that was a meteor. Also, if anybody has my casserole dish, please return it.

[Johnny (Co-host or Guest on Laugh With Me)]

Those Moon HOA meetings, though.

[Jeremy Odom (Laugh With Me Host)]

Your rovers been parked in front of the habitat for too long.

[Johnny (Co-host or Guest on Laugh With Me)]

I'm sorry, Sally. I was just trying not to die. Also, your satellite dish is the wrong color. You know what?

[Jeremy Odom (Laugh With Me Host)]

Forget it.

[Johnny (Co-host or Guest on Laugh With Me)]

I just rather move in her. I just rather live on Earth.

[Jeremy Odom (Laugh With Me Host)]

That's life on the moon, baby. That is life on the moon. But at the end of the day, did we go to the moon? Did this latest NASA moon trip take us to the moon? Or did they just do the old drive by, fly around, say they did it, and go home?

[Johnny (Co-host or Guest on Laugh With Me)]

I don't think it counts. This was not a moon trip. This was more like moon flirting. This only counts now. When somebody lands, opens a Buffalo Wild Wings and gets denied for a moon apartment. That's about it.

[Jeremy Odom (Laugh With Me Host)]

If you can hit a softball and

[Johnny (Co-host or Guest on Laugh With Me)]

let it fly off into space, then we can talk.

[Jeremy Odom (Laugh With Me Host)]

When? When is NASA going to get real about this stuff? I mean, at this point, Katy Perry got closer to the moon than I

[Johnny (Co-host or Guest on Laugh With Me)]

think these astronauts did.

[Jeremy Odom (Laugh With Me Host)]

I love how in 25 it was about Katy Perry going to the Earth's atmosphere right on the brink of space.

[Johnny (Co-host or Guest on Laugh With Me)]

Right.

[Jeremy Odom (Laugh With Me Host)]

Just as we're gravity held no more. That was a big deal. And it is just like these astronauts in 26, doing the drive by around the moon is a big deal. But at the end of the day, guys,

[Johnny (Co-host or Guest on Laugh With Me)]

we didn't land on the moon.

[Jeremy Odom (Laugh With Me Host)]

Johnny, should we call this a laugh with me reports

[Johnny (Co-host or Guest on Laugh With Me)]

are we just, we just banging out a new laugh with me.

[Jeremy Odom (Laugh With Me Host)]

That's, that's. I don't know that we reported. We did mock a little bit.

[Johnny (Co-host or Guest on Laugh With Me)]

Sorry, NASA.

[Jeremy Odom (Laugh With Me Host)]

I again, all credit to these astronauts for what was a very dangerous trip. And it sounded like they had lots

[Johnny (Co-host or Guest on Laugh With Me)]

of obstacles, like the toilets didn't work at one point.

[Jeremy Odom (Laugh With Me Host)]

To me, that was the scariest part of this whole thing. I mean, forget the potential for exploding,

[Johnny (Co-host or Guest on Laugh With Me)]

the fact that you couldn't even use

[Jeremy Odom (Laugh With Me Host)]

the toilet for a bit. I can't even imagine they let people with Crohn's up in space. That would have been scary.

[Johnny (Co-host or Guest on Laugh With Me)]

And then if it just got to the point where you had an accident in your spacesuit, I mean, can you

[Jeremy Odom (Laugh With Me Host)]

imagine that floating up into your. Your helmet?

[Johnny (Co-host or Guest on Laugh With Me)]

What are we even talking about, Johnny? This.

[Jeremy Odom (Laugh With Me Host)]

You can't let me rant like this. You just, you just can't let me rant like this.

[Johnny (Co-host or Guest on Laugh With Me)]

They're gonna send me to the moon. Thanks for listening.
