"I live in this dichotomy between happiness that a young woman can look at Christina and just physicalize her passion or her interest... And that young brown boys and girls can look at me and go, Hey, he looks like me and he's doing what? And that's great. I love that. But I also hope we are pushing the other direction that one day we don't have to talk about these first."

Mojo secret sound, which is right now in a chance to win $7,000 from DFCU financial, the cashback credit union, 844-665-6548, 844 Mojo live. What's this sound? It is a credit card. Oh, hey, that could very well be. And remember, we don't know what it is. Wouldn't it be funny? That would be crazy. Tomorrow morning, know this. If we don't get a winner just now, we'll have secret sound again. Plus we're going to have tickets to give away to go to Tiger's opening day as we broadcast from Comerica Park and give you an opportunity to go see the Tiger's play against the St. Louis Cardinals opening day 75 degrees and sunny. It looks like it's gonna be great. How dry was that lady's skin? Or is she have reptile? We've talked about dry brush today. We've talked about credit cards against skin today. There's a theme. All right. Our latest space mission is now officially underway, much to Kev's dismay for astronauts successfully launched toward the moon last night around 6 30 on a historic deep space test flight. Three, two, one, booster ignition and lift off the crew of Artemis to now bound for the moon. Again, they're not going to land on the moon. The goal here is to test NASA's new spacecraft with a crew on board everything from its life support systems to navigation to how astronauts handle being this far away from Earth. So it's a key step before sending people back to actually land on the moon. That trip is expected to run about 10 days in total in space in just three astronauts. One, a woman from Grand Rapids. So grew up in Grand Rapids. Christina Cook, another some dude. And then another one, the first black astronaut to space. It is a big question. And I want to highlight, I guess, maybe one facet of this is the tension. I call it. I live in this, you know, this dichotomy between happiness that a young woman can look at Christina and just physicalize her passion or her interest. Or even if it's not something she wants to do, she can just be like girl power. And that's awesome. And that young brown boys and girls can look at me and go, Hey, he looks like me and he's doing what? And that's great. I love that. But I also hope we are pushing the other direction that one day we don't have to talk about these first that one day this is just and I listen to this, that this is the human history. It's about human history. It's the story of humanity, not black history, not women's history, but that it becomes human history. You know, it's amazing when I see these astronauts that go up there that they're in such small quarters. And I'd be so claustrophobic. I've known radio morning shows that don't like each other and they're in such small studios and they got to work with each other every single day. What would you do if you were an astronaut that didn't like other astronauts that you're working with and you had to go up to the space station or, you know, in this case, they're only up there for a little bit. Like they're coming right back. But if you had to be in the space station with who is like your nemesis or whatever the deal is, I wonder if they have they have to like really make sure that their personalities all match with each other. So can I read you something real quick? Yeah. So, you know, this is a huge talk. You know, going to the moon and all the great things. The Artemis two mission is estimated to cost over four billion dollars per launch. OK, if we take the total of it of this entire program and what they intend to do, it will reach over one hundred billion dollars. Seems like a good use of public funds. Right. Listen, some of our tax dollars are going. It isn't. What are we really doing? We're getting cured. Can I be honest with you? Hey, can I also say something to you? Sure. There's a lot of waste in and that goes out there. If we looked at every bit of the is that what does this work? Well, and that's it. I mean, I look at all the stuff that we do. I mean, come on. We have them trying to claim to us that they don't have a cure for cancer, but yet they were able to cure a covid disease and like a matter of days. I mean, there's I know it's a bunch of BS. Why do you want to be here? Why do you love space? Why do you love being a part of history? We're going back to the moon. That's why. Come on, Kevin. That would be Smith. That's for a part of her. Stuck a microphone in his face. That's what it's about. The kid being excited about the kid is being excited about a hundred billion dollar project while he's going to be in debt. How about all the wasted confetti that comes down from the ceiling when our team wins our championships? It's a lot of wasted paper. But that makes me so happy for 30 seconds. Confetti. She lost him. Joy for a week. I do. Kyle Cook isn't losing any sleep over his estranged wife. I mean, a Batula's new romance, the latest in the Summer House drama. This is Bravo's newest scandival, if you may, one day after his estranged wife confirmed that she is dating her summer house costar, West Wilson. Kyle made a statement saying he's good. He's really worried about Amanda, though. He said he talked to her before the statement came out. She did give him a heads up. He talked to her again last night. And he said, look, at this point, everybody just needs to stop the cyberbullying. Fans are entitled to their opinion, but they shouldn't be mean to her about it. He did make this comment if you're following this. All I know is West seems to be the kind of guy playing multiple women at the same time. And somehow in all of this, 50,000 people have decided that he deserves their follow. Meanwhile, they're just lighting up Amanda. I feel bad. Andy Cohen commenting on how much he knew or didn't know about Amanda and West took it up. This is one of Andy's shows. I'm Bravo. I was surprised by the statement. I was surprised by what it said or what it didn't say. And I was surprised by what it didn't say. I have so many questions. Everybody very tight lipped about this, except Lydia, Dave Portnoy. Oh, yeah. So I guess at the Super Bowl, he explained to Brianna Chicken Fry that they were they were talking about how Amanda is dating West and maybe even sleeping together. Well, then Dave Portnoy went on live and said that he's known they've been sleeping together this entire time because Brianna told him so. And then Brianna took to Instagram and she was like, I think we should start calling Dave dementia Dave because I told him not to tell anybody that they were sleeping together and he did anyway. Yeah. Yeah. In other Bravo dirty this morning, real housewives of Salt Lake City star Jen shot doing her first interview since being released from prison where she was serving time for being involved in a wire fraud scheme. I'd like to say that I'm sorry and I'm here and accepting responsibility and have made, you know, made it, you know, my mission as part of like my consequences and my responsibilities to make sure that people are paid back through the restitution. You hear all these things, right? Where oh, it's a camp. It's a federal camp. It's a camp cupcake. It's not it's it's prison. And I guess I was I didn't know what to expect physically, right? And seeing it for the first time. But when I walked in there, it took my breath away. Oh, God, I missed her on that. By the way, that that that is one of my favorite of all the my sister said that's her favorite. I love that. I do. And what's her name? That's the the minister or whatever, whatever. She's like crazy. Yeah. Yeah. She's like, I forget her name. Yeah. I used to be so invested in all the real housewives, but I never got on Salt Lake City and everyone said that's their favorite one. I feel like I need to binge it. And lastly, real quick, police called to Nicki Minaj's L.A. area mansion after a guy was spotted just like walking around in her backyard. Authorities say he was seen taken into custody shortly after officers arrived. Thankfully, she was not home at the time, but it is being treated as a stalking and trespassing situation. And I feel like this is just another like blip in this string of intruders at celebrities homes that we've been seeing over the past couple of weeks.
