63.862 - 81.56 Jason Bateman

This is correct. All right, well, thanks for the housekeeping there. Anyway, let's get back to things. By the way, what do you guys think of my shirt? I do notice you're wearing a NASA hat today. Are you feeling excited about the Artemis too? Isn't that wild? Let's talk about that. Why is everybody freaking out about that?

Chapter 3: What unique experiences does Kareem share from his cab rides?

82.242 - 84.989 Jason Bateman

We've been going like traveling to Mars and shit.

0

85.33 - 85.812 Will Arnett

Isn't it wild?

0

85.952 - 102.246 Jason Bateman

No. Well, but like we did the moon loop, did the moon landing in 69, something like that. Yeah, 69, yeah. They're not even landing on the moon. They're just going to kind of do a little lasso around it. They're pussies. They're pussies. But it's just like, why is everyone like, oh, God.

0

102.226 - 106.75 Sean Hayes

No, I think it's amazing what they're doing. They're slingshotting. I'm not belittling it, by the way.

0

106.81 - 108.812 Jason Bateman

I'm just saying, like, help me understand. Yeah, I know.

Chapter 4: How does Kareem's background influence his creative journey?

109.093 - 112.676 Sean Hayes

Well, because it's the farthest anybody's been ever. Is that right?

0

112.976 - 117.741 Will Arnett

I think so. I think it's the farthest humans, yeah, from Earth. From Earth, yeah.

0

117.921 - 125.508 Jason Bateman

Because we're traveling around the backside of it as opposed to landing on the front of it? That's correct, yeah. Well, that seems like they're reaching for a record there, you know?

0

126.389 - 130.393 Sean Hayes

That's like not going to Jason's house, but just stopping at Will's house.

0

130.373 - 151.497 Jason Bateman

Yeah, I mean, I just don't know if that's something... It feels like the equivalent of Oscar bait. Yeah, yeah. I mean, what if they did... How about this? What if they do that one loop, right? So they qualify for first, and then when they come back around, fucking land the thing, you know? And drive the buggy around again and hit another golf shot.

Chapter 5: What challenges did Kareem face while starting his shows?

151.598 - 158.947 Will Arnett

That'll be really sensational. I'm going to try to get you an email address so you can send this in. I'm sure that... They're looking for ideas over there.

0

158.987 - 159.488 Kareem Rahma

Of course.

0

159.889 - 166.679 Sean Hayes

Wait, Jay, but I think the idea is to collect more information so that the next one they can land on the moon. Again?

0

167.601 - 173.21 Jason Bateman

Yeah, I think. What about if they build a little tree house on it or something like that?

0

173.27 - 179.82 Sean Hayes

Well, I think they're talking about that. Yeah, they're talking about colonizing a little tiny thing so that you can launch from there to Mars.

179.8 - 188.571 Jason Bateman

Would you ever do one of these rocket launches? Absolutely. Like what's-his-face that Amazon did? Jack Bezos.

Chapter 6: How does Kareem define success in his career?

188.591 - 190.313 Jason Bateman

Right. He sent some people up. Would you ever do that?

0

190.673 - 191.174 Sean Hayes

I would, yeah.

0

191.915 - 197.542 Jason Bateman

Really? Yeah, absolutely. Wouldn't you? Willie? I think I probably would.

0

197.562 - 198.022 Will Arnett

Wouldn't that be cool?

0

198.042 - 200.625 Jason Bateman

You wouldn't puss out like a day before and go, well, hang on.

201.126 - 204.808 Will Arnett

I wouldn't pay for it. I never pay for it.

205.249 - 205.87

Right.

206.211 - 207.534 Will Arnett

Yeah, well, nobody paid for it.

Chapter 7: What insights does Kareem offer about the future of content creation?

207.715 - 221.485 Will Arnett

Did those people pay for it? Only in dignity. On the Bezos ones, yeah. Only in dignity. No, the Bezos people, they pay, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like 250 grand or some shit to go... Really? Oh, my God. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's crazy money. No...

0

221.465 - 225.693 Jason Bateman

You can go up and leave the atmosphere and come back down.

0

226.074 - 228.759 Sean Hayes

Yeah, to feel weightlessness. Wouldn't that be fun?

0

228.779 - 234.17 Jason Bateman

Well, I'd love to get Neil deGrasse Tyson back on just to finish up that answer he was forming for me.

0

234.671 - 238.518 Will Arnett

I think it's all pretty cool.

Chapter 8: How does Kareem balance multiple creative projects?

238.939 - 242.005 Will Arnett

I mean, I'm not obsessed with it, but I think it's pretty damn cool.

0

241.985 - 245.549 Sean Hayes

Yeah, they had some toilet problems on the Artemis too. Did you read that?

0

245.87 - 246.17 Will Arnett

Yeah.

0

246.691 - 249.554 Sean Hayes

Yes. I had a toilet problem this morning.

0

249.775 - 250.556 Jason Bateman

Let me tell you something.

250.736 - 259.286 Will Arnett

Jason, you know, Jason, you could never go because they don't have a shower. Tremendous toilet. Because they don't have a shower next to the toilet up there, so you'd never be able to go.

259.306 - 261.409 Jason Bateman

You can't shower immediately after a VM?

261.609 - 262.891 Will Arnett

No. Well, I'm out.

263.272 - 265.955 Jason Bateman

Yeah, of course you're out. I got to feel fresh, you guys.
