00:00If anyone out there has $150,000, then you can go to space, too.
00:04All right, so Billboard Squad.
00:06Five ladies went to space, but everybody seems to just be mad at Katy Perry.
00:10Are we mad? What's going on?
00:12I don't care.
00:14I mean, I can understand why people are mad.
00:18Like, if I feel that strongly about it.
00:20Why? What are people upset about?
00:22I mean, a lot of people, you know, there's time to talk right now.
00:27It doesn't really, like, look super inspiring to see, like, super rich people just going into space.
00:33It's not giving what they think it's giving.
00:35They think it's giving inspiring, sending a bunch of women to space,
00:39but it's giving more, sending a bunch of rich people to space,
00:42as opposed to sending actual female astronauts that should be sent up.
00:46Yeah, yeah.
00:47That would give more.
00:48It's cool for, like, the aesthetics of it.
00:50Like, to see, like, a group of women, women of color, going into space.
00:54Like, that's, like, it looks good as a photo.
00:58As a photo.
00:59But it's, like, this was all funded by Jeff Bezos.
01:03They wouldn't be going up there without him.
01:06If this was Elon Musk, people would be reacting the same way.
01:09All these billionaires are obsessed with going to space
01:12because they're going to leave this planet completely fucked.
01:15Damn, Steph.
01:17Steph is mad.
01:18They're going to go on there, like, the minute this planet goes to hell
01:23because of climate change.
01:24I mean, and I think the funny part to me is that you have, like,
01:28this inspirational moment, but then I feel like the whole time
01:30I've watched Gayle be a part of this, she would look scared.
01:33She didn't even want to go, and she's like, why am I here?
01:35You know?
01:36How did I get on this spacecraft?
01:38How did she get convinced?
01:39I mean, like, Katy Perry, she's just hilarious because she just friends with Lauren Sanchez.
01:44So, I mean, like, if you're, that's how she got roasted.
01:47I mean, like, Kim Kardashian, she didn't.
01:49She knew she had to get some big celebrity to go.
01:52But even with the Katy Perry thing, like, everybody's so hyper-focused on her.
01:56Like, what happened with Wendy's?
01:57Why did they get involved?
01:58Oh, Wendy's tweeted, uh, it was actually pretty funny.
02:01It was a post, Katy Perry has returned from space.
02:04Wendy retweeted, uh, can we send her back?
02:08What?
02:08And this is what I think about it, this is what I think about it.
02:09Who is right in there?
02:10I think it was the joy.
02:11I think it was the joy that Katy Perry came back with that felt very disconnected to the
02:16world.
02:17Because, yeah, there's women of color astronauts, there's white women astronauts.
02:20You could have sent an astronaut.
02:21Like, she didn't sing a song in space.
02:23She should have sang a song in space.
02:24She should have sang a song in space.
02:25She should have performed firework in space.
02:27Come on now.
02:28That would have been great.
02:29Did you see that Gayle did say that at one point?
02:31She was singing.
02:32I was asking her to sing all the time, and she wouldn't.
02:34And she wouldn't.
02:35Because everybody said, sing roar, sing fireworks.
02:38And she said, it's not about me.
02:39I wanted to talk about the world.
02:41When we were coming back down, Katy just broke out in acapella because her band isn't
02:46there.
02:47She just broke out in acapella.
02:48What a wonderful world.
02:49It's a big, like, Gal Gadot, like, COVID moment where celebrities get together and they
02:55sing a song and they're just, like, uplifting everyone while we're all, like, shut inside
03:01their house and we can't, like, go outside anywhere.
03:04Well, and then Kesha commented on that, didn't she?
03:06Yeah, Kesha just retweeted her drinking, like, a Wendy's, like, out of a Wendy's cup.
03:11Yeah.
03:12But I feel like we're getting lost.
03:13We should care about Gail, okay?
03:15Gail was on a road trip that she couldn't get out of.
03:18Think about this.
03:19Think about, she was on a road trip where one person is singing, she's going to space,
03:23and she can't just, like, pull over.
03:26I mean, let's turn around.
03:27I want out of this.
03:28Yeah, she can't do nothing.
03:29Maybe she just wanted to go over there for the experience when no one held a gun to her
03:32head and told her, you gotta go up to space.
03:34Maybe that was, like, more of CBS.
03:36Like, this is a good opportunity for you to go to cover this trip.
03:39It definitely was CBS.
03:40Right?
03:41And then what about all the other celebrities that are angry?
03:43Like, what did Emily Ratajkowski say?
03:45She was kind of saying, like, something similar to what I said earlier.
03:49That space mission this morning, that's end time shit.
03:52Like, this is beyond parody.
03:53Saying that you care about Mother Earth, and it's about Mother Earth, and you're going up
03:57in a spaceship that is built and paid for by a company that's single-handedly destroying
04:03the planet.
04:04Look at the state of the world and think about how many resources went into putting these
04:09women into space.
04:10For what?
04:11For what?
04:12What was the marketing there?
04:13And then to try to make it, like, I'm disgusted.
04:15Literally, I'm disgusted.
04:16Like, it looks good, like, to see all these women, women of color, going into space.
04:21But, like, it's being funded by Jeff Bezos, which completely, like, negates it.
04:26I'm like, this is like, you know, a trip, like, like Sierra said before, like, women astronauts
04:31who have been training their entire lives and studying their entire lives to do something
04:36like this.
04:37And, yeah, maybe it would be more inspiring.
04:39But, you know, it's not like we're all going to be able to go up into space.
04:42Well, hey, for a $150,000 deposit.
04:45If anyone out there has $150,000, you can go to space, too.
04:49Loan it to me, Stephanie.
04:51And then, Judy, what were you showing me, the Amy Schumer thing?
04:53Amy Schumer also came for her, did a little funny video saying,
04:57Guys, last second, they added me to space, and I'm going to space.
05:07I'm bringing this thing.
05:12It has no meaning to me, but it was in my bag, and I was, like, on the subway, and I got
05:18the text, and they were like, do you want to go to space?
05:21So, I'm going to space.
05:23Like, acting as if she got a last-minute invitation to space, like, hey, let's go to space, too.
05:28Which is funny, she's doing her thing.
05:29I think this whole thing is a pop culture moment, and everyone's jumping on, trying to get on the buzz.
05:34But my whole thing, I mean, you brought up that it's all women, it's this publicity stunt, right?
05:40Like, the optics are cool.
05:41I wonder if it would have gotten all this criticism if it was men, you know?
05:45Like, my whole thing, it's like, why women, and why are people coming so fiercely for Katy Perry?
05:51Like, regardless of it, like, this narrative of this war of women, I'm just over it.
05:57Like, whatever happened to women supporting women?
05:59Do you know what I mean?
06:00Like, that's my whole thing.
06:01I think we saw it happen, sorry, we saw it happen with J.Lo.
06:04Like, all of a sudden, like, everyone piling on J.Lo.
06:06People pick a person, and they decide they hate them, and Katy doesn't deserve it.
06:11I love Katy.
06:12Listen, I love Katy.
06:13Sometimes people pick people that maybe are a little tone deaf.
06:18Like, I remember when people came at J.Lo.
06:19People came at J.Lo, and I was like, J.Lo, why you do that?
06:22You know what I mean?
06:23J.Lo, why you do that?
06:24J.Lo, J.Lo, like, come on.
06:25Like, you ain't gonna go there.
06:26You ain't gonna get a chopped cheese.
06:27And it's cool.
06:28You make you rich.
06:29You don't need a chopped cheese.
06:30You know what I mean?
06:31And then, did Jessica Alba finally throw something into this today?
06:34She did, and she actually is defending Katy Perry and all those women.
06:38Basically saying, not understanding why everyone's so upset.
06:41How does this affect our lives?
06:43We should be putting all of this energy towards Trump, and everything that Trump is doing,
06:47and his abuses of power.
06:48That's actually affecting us people down here on Earth.
06:52Us people down here.
06:54The way I look at it is, like, you know, obviously, like, I think people are piling on to Katy Perry
07:00a little bit, which is a little bit ironic, because Amy Schumer, and I'm sure Emerata,
07:04I'm sure they've all had moments where they're out of touch.
07:07I don't think Katy Perry needed to kiss the ground when she came back from space,
07:11and be like, wow, I'm so grateful for life.
07:13Now that I went up to space.
07:15I don't think you need to do that.
07:17I think, like, to your point about all the men, it's like, there is a man behind us.
07:23It's not because, like, this is solely because of women.
07:27All these women agreed to do this trip, which is cool, but it's not like they were the force behind it.
07:34This all goes back to Jeff Brazos.
07:36Let's bring it back.
07:37I agree to Jeff Brazos.
07:38It's like, I think it's visibility.
07:40Katy Perry is on Twitter.
07:41You can get there.
07:42You can't get to Jeff.
07:43Well, I will say we have reached out to everybody's reps involved, Katy Perry's, Wendy's, Kesha's.
07:48If we hear any thoughts on this, guys, I will let you know.
07:51You send it to the moon?
07:52It's Jeff or the moon?
07:53Where'd you send it to Jeff?
07:54You send it to Jeff.
