Tom
Peace out. A great way to get your morning started.
Christopher
This is Bob and Tom.
Caller
Extra.
Tom
I know. We were talking about food aboard the Orion.
Bob
Yes, because of course, yesterday it was a beautiful day for the Orion crew as they went to the dark side of the moon. Farther than anyone in humankind has been in space. Which is very exciting.
Tom
Well, while being alive.
Bob
Why do you always tag it with that?
Tom
Because, you know, there's some Russian guy. Oh, yeah, you know, past Mars cosmos.
Caller
Sickle.
Kristi
Yeah, he's way out there, man.
Bob
But this is what the astronauts are dining on. 189 different options as they take their tour around the moon.
Kristi
Oh, come on.
Bob
Some of the most common food items. Vegetable quiche, a nice breakfast sausage, spicy green beans, couscous with nuts. Mango salad and granola with blueberries.
Kristi
There's no way cheese.
Patty G
Was this a Cheesecake factory?
Bob
But tortillas are among the most popular astronaut foods.
Tom
Can you figure out why?
Kristi
Taco Tuesday. Because they're flat and in zero gravity. Flat.
Bob
You're on, you're close. You're on to something there.
Kristi
Chick stays flat.
Tom
It's not the flatness. It's the easy to fold them envelope like hold it.
Bob
Hold the food in delivery system.
Kristi
Yeah, it's the same reason a Burrito, Sausage burrito. You can eat it in the car. It stays right there.
Tom
Why you have hot dogs at the ball game instead of the sombrero full of stuff you're going to spill all over.
Kristi
Why you don't have a big bowl of soup while you're driving the car.
Josh
Exactly right.
Kristi
Most of the time.
Bob
And when you're in space, soup would be impossible to eat.
Tom
Well, yeah. You'd be right out of the bowl.
Josh
Would it?
Caller
Oh boy.
Tom
Well yeah, you're right though.
Kristi
You have a big bite floating around your head.
Tom
I think I took the part out of this article about other things that were floating around in previous missions.
Kristi
Like what?
Tom
If you spend some time on the NASA website, it's amazing. The story.
Bob
There are five different hot sauces aboard Orion. There are 10 types of beverages including 43 cups of coffee that power the crew. The 43 cups of coffee for the total mission. That wouldn't be enough. Or is that a daily thing?
Kristi
Nowhere near enough.
Patty G
43 styles or.
Bob
It just says 43.
Tom
Yeah, I thought that was surprising.
Bob
I guess just maybe it's to do 43 Kierans.
Tom
I think they're allowed to have one a day.
Bob
I think on a typical mission day, excluding launch and reentry, astronauts have a scheduled time for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Each astronaut is allotted two flavored beverages per day which may include their coffee.
Tom
There you go.
Bob
They're due. They. They limit their beverages because you can imagine pee less. Well, yeah.
Josh
Less piss.
Kristi
Well, they're supposed to.
Tom
One last.
Bob
Oh, and here's something surprising.
Kristi
There's some diet they're on that reduces the amount of their.
Josh
That's right, yeah.
Bob
No fresh food on Orion because there's no refrigerator.
Tom
Oh yeah.
Bob
I take up too much space.
Josh
Yeah.
Patty G
What about a tiny dorm?
Tom
They've kind of got everything. Kind of. One of the frat guys tried to bring in a dorm fridge.
Bob
Yeah. Food aboard Orion is ready to eat rehydrateable, thermostabilized or irradiated.
Kristi
Oh, it's thermostabilized.
Tom
Now if it's. They say it's irradiated. That doesn't mean it's giving off radiation.
Kristi
No, no, you don't have to walk us.
Josh
That would be radioactive.
Tom
Not radioactive.
Bob
And apparently heated in a compact briefcase style food warmer. The Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen also has five Canadian food products to remind him of home.
Tom
Of course, space poutine.
Josh
Oh, by the way, chick I saw at cvs, they had. I forget exactly. Is it all seasoned?
Tom
Nope.
Kristi
All dressed.
Josh
All dressed. Chips.
Kristi
All dressed. Did you know, they lay potato.
Josh
I didn't realize they'd become widely available here from Canada.
Kristi
Oh, yes.
Josh
Yeah, they are.
Kristi
Wait, wait.
Tom
Well, slow down. Are these potatoes? Potato chips.
Josh
Yeah, yeah, they were like. I think these were all dressed ruffles.
Kristi
Yeah. And they, they have a distinctive flavor. They're very good.
Josh
Yeah.
Tom
Oh, I did not know.
Josh
But I had not seen them at a, you know, CVS like that.
Kristi
All dressed.
Bob
There are no well dressed ships on board the space shuttle though board Orion. We have ketta, salmon bites, shrimp curry.
Kristi
Hey, you know, with those salmon bites, you should. No, thanks, is what I'd say.
Bob
Yeah, you think that would smell of. Right. Strawberry lavender super seed cereal.
Kristi
You know, one of the astronauts is cooking fish in the microwave.
Josh
Oh, even up there.
Tom
Yeah.
Kristi
They got their own. Josh.
Bob
Maple cream cookies and maple syrup for the Canadians. So. Yeah. There you go.
Josh
All right.
Tom
Artemis 2 does sound like the name of a Greek diner.
Josh
Oh, yeah.
Tom
Where do you want to go tonight, honey? How about Artemis 2? Oh, good.
Kristi
No, it's not as good as Artemis 1. No, no, it lost something.
Tom
Better location.
Bob
Sometime restaurants should just stay as they are, not try to expand.
Tom
But I mean, this food probably is significantly better than it was back in the hollow days.
Caller
Well, the hot sauces are better to cover up the. That's why I was looking up. I wondered if they told you what kind of hot sauce they brought up because that would be my luck. It would be the one I'm. Oh, you just have franks. I'm a Tabasco guy.
Tom
The goal, of course, is the. In a couple of years to actually land it. Was it 2020 once again.
Kristi
Which is real tricky because it's a controlled fall, really.
Tom
Yeah, because. And there's no gravity. So they. You can't pair. I mean, excuse me, there's. Sorry, there's. There's no atmosphere. Right. So you can't parachute in. So it's all controlled by rockets.
Kristi
It's the same reason restaurants here.
Tom
Yeah, yeah. No atmosphere.
Kristi
There's no atmosphere.
Tom
But it's incredibly cool. The engineering. Unbelievable that this is happening.
Bob
So we're back in a space race with China now, huh?
Tom
That's because we got to put weapons up there.
Bob
Oh my God.
Josh
And AI does most.
Bob
Can't we all just.
Josh
Those guys don't really have to do much.
Bob
Can't we just get along?
Caller
Oh, is there a way? Like, I figure if there was a way, they would have done it by now to beam a logo onto the moon at night for like Adidas or
Josh
Nike, maybe from a satellite that's close
Caller
enough to the moon put it up to. Yeah, they might surprise that if they could do it they would have done
Tom
it like a bat signal thing.
Josh
Yeah.
Tom
When it's available when it. When the technology exists the words Elon Musk will appear on the moon in 3D or one of his kids birthdays doesn't have a kid named named like
Kristi
Xenon or make the the moon his face. He. It would lend itself to kind of
Josh
look it looks like oh you could. The moon would be the new sphere.
Kristi
A moon face.
Josh
It could be anything. Yeah, they'll change it for us.
Caller
Yeah.
Josh
Oh look, it's a pumpkin.
Tom
That'd be kind of cool.
Bob
That would be kind of cool.
Josh
Oh, it's the masters this weekend. They made it look like a golf ball.
Kristi
They were turning the sphere into the moon and it looked like the moon it was laying in the floor.
Caller
Really cool.
Tom
That's great.
Bob
Well, if you're traveling to the moon, how about some top travel do's and don'ts?
Tom
All right.
Bob
It's not really specific to the moon.
Tom
Do we get to guess them, you think?
Bob
A new poll from Talker Research reveals people's top travel do's and don'ts. First of all, 2,000American travelers.
Josh
You're.
Kristi
You guessing throws everything off because you're not normal. So that's going to be a problem. But you can guess if you'd like.
Tom
Well, I've read the list, so it wouldn't be fair for me to guess.
Kristi
Don't guess that.
Josh
Don't forget condoms if you're going to Haiti.
Bob
Well, that's. This is more pet peeve.
Kristi
Don't drink the water.
Tom
You know something, if you're going to Haiti, that'd be kind of low on the list. Really. I think maybe don't go number one. Bodyguards.
Bob
These are some of the the top ten travel pet peeves.
Kristi
Okay.
Bob
And most of them are usually on a plane, but if you would like to try to guess, we have 10.
Caller
When your passenger puts their feet on the dashboard.
Kristi
Well, dashboard.
Josh
Oh, in the car.
Bob
In the car. Well, this is on a plane, apparently. Letting your child kick the seat in front of them. That's terrible.
Josh
I like it. It's a little massage.
Kristi
Is it going to be. I can't put my seat back.
Bob
Let's see. I don't recall your seat as far as it can go.
Kristi
I will push my seat back if my seat's built to be able to push back.
Josh
I don't think you're wrong, but I don't do it.
Tom
I Think you're wrong.
Bob
And it's kind of.
Josh
He's right though. They let you do it.
Tom
Yeah, but they shouldn't there. That there should be a thing.
Kristi
Fix the seat. Weld the seat.
Tom
As much as I don't. As much as I don't believe in democracy, what they should do is they should. The, the someone should get on the pa. Okay, we're gonna take a vote and there's like a switch in your seat and you press the button and there's. Okay, 75% say seats back. I'm gonna count to 10. When I get to 10, everybody put it back at the same time.
Kristi
I've had the guy in front of me put a seat back and I don't find it objectionable really.
Josh
To me it's, it's really great.
Tom
Shoves your laptop into your chest, that tray thing.
Kristi
Really.
Josh
I don't want the ability to delouse the head of the person.
Tom
Yes, very good.
Bob
Some of the other pet peeves include ignoring personal space, which kind of goes with what you're saying.
Josh
There is no personal space on a plane.
Bob
No talking loudly on the phone.
Kristi
Hey, how you doing? What's that? Not nothing. Damn thing.
Tom
You're not allowed to talk on a phone on a plane?
Josh
No.
Tom
And is that happens? But is that real? I've always thought is that going to affect the navigation?
Josh
I think it's to control this.
Bob
And I have heard a phone ring in the air on approach.
Josh
Yes. And it wasn't followed by a 10 foot turbulence drop?
Bob
No.
Caller
You know how you're supposed to put it on airplane on the plane and I, the guy next to me last time I flew like, look, pulled it up, looked at it and went nah. And I'm like, if we crash beating you to death. Like. But no one obviously you don't have to, right? No, didn't affect any.
Tom
But. But I mean it's a nice rule because you don't want the guy sitting next to you talking the whole.
Patty G
No, it's actually for the communication with the other planes and that stuff. Not that you're going to crash.
Josh
So it really would interfere.
Patty G
That's what they say. Yeah. I'm not sure if that's true.
Tom
I'm kind of skeptical.
Josh
But.
Tom
But why would they put something that critical in the hands of morons like us? I don't want to have get on an airplane. I don't want to have anything to say about anything.
Kristi
I remember trying to make a call on a foot. You can't make a call to get
Tom
to a certain I. I was in.
Josh
The fact that there used to be phones on planes tells me that this is kind of bs.
Tom
Yeah. But I remember I was on the tarmac, I think it was in Detroit, and they were. They were whatever. De Icing the plane.
Bob
Yeah.
Tom
And I'm not kidding. One of the pilots came back. We were. I was in the. In the window seat. The Internet. What do you think? Is all that ice off? And I wanted to say I don't want to have anything to do. You are the pro. I am an idiot. I'm not going to even vote in this. You decide.
Josh
I was on a plane. They needed to de ice it, but they forgot the deicer and they had to use a credit card. We were there for eight hours.
Bob
Don't you hate that?
Tom
That's why I like CDs. You can take those jewel cases and just clean off your wider.
Caller
When I flew out of Green Bay last year, they de iced half the plane. Like the right side of the plane. And we start backing up and the guy behind me says to the. The flight attendant, hey, are they going to do the other side? And she goes, yeah, I was wondering about that. And you see her go up front and they pulled the plane back in
Tom
and did the other side. Terrifying again.
Bob
Yeah.
Tom
No, thank you.
Bob
Other things, when you're traveling, treating employees disrespectfully, including flight attendants, train attendance, hotel staff, etc.
Kristi
Sure.
Bob
Playing audio without headphones.
Tom
Didn't we just have a thing saying
Bob
that they're not going to ununited, but we never got to that story.
Tom
Well, yeah, they're going to actually like
Josh
fine people or enforce it.
Tom
Yeah, they're going to enforce it. You can't.
Bob
With good.
Tom
With good reason.
Caller
Well, can we get that at the grocery store as well?
Josh
What's the problem with the grocery store
Caller
when people are just on their phone talk or listening to music?
Tom
But Jeff, with no other day, I was at Target. Not just on the phone. Talking on the phone while checking out.
Bob
That's really disrespectful.
Patty G
That happens a lot.
Bob
United Airlines says flight crews will now boot passengers who refuse to use headphones with their devices.
Kristi
If I can't talk to people while I'm checking out, if I can't talk to them, how am I going to stay in touch with my people? I need to stay in touch with my people.
Tom
I'm not sure what accent that is, but I enjoy this guy very much.
Bob
Don't take your shoes off on public transportation.
Tom
That's another one coming up. The must haves While traveling.
Kristi
Takes his feet off on the.
Caller
He does shoes.
Kristi
I'm sorry?
Josh
Shoes.
Tom
On the play.
Josh
I do. There's zero foot odor. And no one's the wiser. My feet. No one's looking down there.
Caller
I was very wise to it. But not from the smell.
Josh
Yes.
Tom
Josh, don't listen to what I'm about to say. Do something in your head. Okay. The next time we fly together, the assignment's going to be someone. Someone has to steal Josh's shoes mid flight.
Patty G
How funny would that be?
Tom
And then when he gets off the
Kristi
plane, roll the window down.
Tom
Oh, I can't wait. All right, you can come back now. Josh, welcome back. Take the blindfold off.
Caller
All right. Yeah.
Tom
The radio blindfold.
Josh
You guys were probably discussing about how it's such a good idea to take your shoes off on the plane.
Kristi
Yes.
Josh
Yeah, yeah.
Tom
We're all going to do it.
Kristi
Comfor. All right. Yeah.
State Farm Announcer
Nice.
Kristi
You put your bare feet on the
Josh
carpet in the plane. My stocking feet.
Tom
Can you imagine what's on the floor of a plane?
Josh
Yeah, you know, but vacuum?
Bob
What are you talking about?
Tom
You can't vacuum out those spirochets.
Patty G
The world is a dirty place.
Tom
People have been having.
Bob
Yeah.
Josh
What do you think's on the armrest?
Kristi
People are having sex in the floor. In the plane. What?
Tom
He thinks you understand how gravity works.
Kristi
That's where it all lands.
Tom
I rest, Mike.

Episode Description: In this Bob & Tom Extra, the crew dives into two interstellar topics: the surprisingly gourmet menu on the Orion spacecraft currently orbiting the moon, and the hypothetical (and hilarious) prospects of projecting images onto the lunar surface. Added in are plenty of laughs about air travel pet peeves and personal quirks.
The central theme of this episode revolves around the human side of space travel—specifically, the food astronauts eat on the Orion spacecraft and the cultural fantasies of "branding" the moon with projected images. The conversation regularly veers into comedic territory, from comparing astronaut food to fast casual dining to debating the etiquette (and gross-out factor) of taking off shoes on an airplane.
Memorable Moment:
"I'm Patty G and it's all good. It's I'll pop a cap in your ass if you're in my neighborhood." (Patty G, 02:46)
Bob opens with excitement:
"Yesterday it was a beautiful day for the Orion crew as they went to the dark side of the moon. Farther than anyone in humankind has been in space. Which is very exciting." (Bob, 04:15)
Orion’s food options are surprisingly diverse:
The popularity of tortillas in zero-G:
Beverage constraints:
No fresh food due to lack of refrigeration:
National pride: Canadian astronaut brings "five Canadian food products," including "maple cream cookies and maple syrup." (Bob, 07:40–08:46)
Riffing on Canadian potato chips:
Astronaut food vs. restaurant chain cuisine:
Memorable Quotes:
"Can you imagine what's on the floor of a plane?" (Tom, 17:52)
"Artemis 2 does sound like the name of a Greek diner." (Tom, 08:51)
Bob introduces a poll from Talker Research on top travel pet peeves.
The group tries to guess what makes the top ten:
Comedy around airplane seating democracy and seat reclining:
Phone use on planes:
Shoes off on planes?
Airplane cleanliness (or lack thereof):
On astronaut cuisine:
"Tortillas are among the most popular astronaut foods." (Bob, 05:06)
On beverage limits in space:
"They limit their beverages because you can imagine — pee less." (Bob, 06:44)
On seat reclining etiquette:
"As much as I don't believe in democracy, what they should do is... take a vote and there's a switch in your seat..." (Tom, 12:35)
On moon advertising:
"When the technology exists the words Elon Musk will appear on the moon in 3D." (Tom, 10:34)
On plane hygiene:
"Can you imagine what's on the floor of a plane?" (Tom, 17:52)
The show maintains its signature comedic style—irreverent, quick-witted, and full of playful ribbing—interspersed with genuinely interesting tidbits about space travel and everyday annoyances. The hosts play off each other's jokes, keep the conversation snappy, and bring both curiosity and cynicism to topics ranging from science to social behavior.
If you missed this episode, expect equal parts trivia, absurdity, and relatable humor on everything from gourmet space chow to the universal agony of air travel. It's classic Bob & Tom—space facts with lots of laughs along the way.
