What Really Happens If You Have to Poop in Space - Safety Third 179

SPEAKER_1 (0:00)

Okay, imagine someone's like, they were stranded in an elevator for one week. Literally every man, woman and child, the first fucking question they have is, where did they poop and pee, right? To fucking launch a bunch of astronauts in space.

And then to include the verbiage of like, it's a two week mission in basically like one of the big porta potties.

Nile Wilson (0:23)

Yeah, and something the size of your minivan.

SPEAKER_1 (0:25)

Yeah, and to never even fucking consider bringing up an idea of the bathroom. And so I like paid whatever, I think five bucks or something to put a super chat. And I was like, where do they poop?

Nile Wilson (0:36)

I think you just called him live on stream. And he's like, on stream, he's like, hold on, I got a call from someone else got to do the music.

SPEAKER_1 (0:43)

Because John's out here. John takes more vacations than all of us.

Nile Wilson (0:50)

And I don't think it's a vacation.

SPEAKER_1 (0:53)

I don't know what to do about it. Is it not? Is he just getting dragged?

Oh, is he getting dragged?

Nile Wilson (0:57)

Well, it's like it's a wedding. Oh. Or like extended family. That's a vacation. Extended family.

SPEAKER_1 (1:02)

Okay. That's a vacation. You don't have to work.

Nile Wilson (1:05)

I guess.

William Osman (1:06)

Yeah. Listen.

Nile Wilson (1:07)

Would you consider that a vacation?

SPEAKER_1 (1:09)

The last vacation I took is when we drove to San Francisco in the Taylor Dunn.

Nile Wilson (1:14)

Yeah. Would you consider that a vacation?

SPEAKER_1 (1:17)

Literally anything other than the nightmare I normally live every day. I've been going to bed at like two in the morning.

Nile Wilson (1:25)

I went to bed at 1030 last night.

SPEAKER_1 (1:26)

You fuck. You fuck.

William Osman (1:27)

Holy.

Nile Wilson (1:28)

I know. It was pretty early, but.

SPEAKER_1 (1:31)

There's this thing that happens that I think is actually really bad. It's like some salmon energy, like a grown salmon, like decay going up river.

William Osman (1:39)

Yeah.

SPEAKER_1 (1:40)

If I stay up, like if I'm really tired at like 10 PM, right? Like normal, I try to go to bed at between like 1, it's like midnight and 1 AM. I'd love to go to bed at midnight. And maybe a little bit earlier. I'll never go to bed before midnight though.

If you stay up beyond like, you're like, like 12, 1, 2, like once you get to like 1 to 2 for me, there's this thing that happens when I'm pushing the boundary. It's a second wind, but it's like worse than a second wind. It's almost like drinking coffee where it like something up in your head. And now you like, you like missed your window to go to sleep.

Nile Wilson (2:17)

Yep.

SPEAKER_1 (2:19)

I don't know how it works, but like I like once I like wind back up and then just like keep going, keep going, keep going, trying to finish something. I literally, I know it's fucked because I'll all of a sudden feel like less tired. But it'll have been, it'll have like gotten much later.

Nile Wilson (2:35)

Yeah, that does not happen to me.

SPEAKER_1 (2:36)

No, no, I don't feel like a wick. I'm just saying like I stop feeling like that, like sleepy. Yes. Like, you know, like let's say maybe like 1230, I'm like sleepy and if I got in bed, I would like fall asleep pretty easily. But then I like push it to 130 Now all of a sudden I can't fall asleep as easily. And I don't know what that is. If that's real, if it's like some psychological or placebo effect.

Nile Wilson (2:57)

Now there's probably something there, but if you laid down, you would still go to sleep, right?

SPEAKER_1 (3:02)

No, it takes me longer. Like it's almost like a...

Nile Wilson (3:06)

Yeah, it takes you longer, but it's like the best time to go to sleep is right then, not waiting another hour, even though it might be... Because then it's still going to take you longer.

SPEAKER_1 (3:13)

Maybe it's only when I'm working on something, because then it's like my brain just starts like stimming, and I like can't... You know when you get into that like cycle of like...

I mean, I don't know about you.

Nile Wilson (3:23)

You're like, yeah, I'm like late playing video games. Yeah. I don't like, I work on projects like past midnight. No way.

Like that's rare.

SPEAKER_1 (3:33)

Okay. Well, maybe we're both different.

Nile Wilson (3:35)

But like mine crafting, you know?
