Sometimes you just have to stand quietly by something. After hours and hours and hours of patience while somebody else gets all the glory, then you pee your pants.
when you think about zero gravity and the effect that could have on the lower GI tract and the immediate results after an evacuation, I just, yeah, I would have liked to have seen more of that in, in this trip just to really, just to really balance it out. Right. So you've got the glamor and you've got the excitement, but just to remind people that, that we're all put together the same basic way.

But you know what? Back to my days as a fighter pilot, when I talk about humility, when you're in the back of that thing, And this was a private flight. They were spoiling me because I was hosting a show in San Francisco and they they wanted to show me the entire maneuvers of the Blue Angel experience. So I'm strapped into the back of this thing.

And the captain tells me, look, he said, Mike, I've got two goals and I'm going to be candid with you. Three, really. First, I'd like to make you pass out. Secondly, I'm going to make you throw up. What? And third, we're leaving with a full tank of gas, so we're going to come back on empty.

And I'm going to show you everything from barrel rolls to the Immelmann to all these great Red Baron-type maneuvers. And I didn't pass out because I knew the Hick maneuver. Oh. The Hick maneuver. So when you start pulling Gs, like 6, 7, 8, 9... Yeah, I'm aware of the Gs.

You go... Really? Yeah. That's it. Okay.
