Chapter 1: What was the significance of Katy Perry's space trip?

0.089 - 32.029 Lauren

Literally what she's saying is we will never know our capacity for love because we can't afford it. She's calling us all poor. Until you spend $400,000 on this 11 minute journey, you'll never know all the love that you have. Well, well, well, everyone. Welcome to another episode of Pop Apologist Podcast. I'm your co-host, Lauren, with my co-host, Chandler, joining today on the show.

32.049 - 56.353 Lauren

I am excited to be here, excited to be recording. You know, it's been quite the news week, I would say. It's been a medium news week. But there are things that we need to talk about, and I'm excited to share my thoughts on these medium subjects. I mean... Chandler, why are you even saying that? Why are you not acting like this isn't an earth shattering week for humanity?

0

56.713 - 82.079 Lauren

Because everyone, I'm not sure if you've heard, but the first all female spaceship went to space and safely landed back on earth. And it included none other than our favorite Gayle King, Katy Perry, and a live girl, one Lauren Sanchez. Also, you are just fully forgetting about the other scientists on there. You're just not going to mention the other scientists.

0

82.099 - 108.65 Lauren

That's because I'm not interested in scientists. Chandler, I'm interested in celebrities. So I don't even know who that is. Who is it? No, there's multiple, just so you know. I believe there's two or three other women with a scientific background. Women in STEM have never held a lot of allure for me. I'm more interested in the women on the red carpet. And that's my truth. That is your truth. Wow.

0

109.01 - 130.4 Lauren

You want to hear my first dark thought when I heard that they'd landed safely? I was like, okay, thank God, because all my snarky commentary from the day before stands. Right. Oh, my gosh. That is such a good point, because we talked a lot of SHIT on the premium episode for Global Elites. on this entire venture, on this expedition.

131.28 - 154.493 Lauren

And if they had perished, it would not have been a good look for us. We could not have weathered that storm. I'm not sure any publicist could have helped us, any crisis manager. In the same way that Blue Origin ejected from the Earth's atmosphere, we were going to have to eject from this career. If, you know, if, if God forbid the worst had happened, but thankfully it didn't, everything was safe.

154.553 - 178.81 Lauren

It was, you know, a, a, what I heard to be, you know, a very predictable, um, you know, triumphant 11 minutes. And, you know, we were rewarded with even more cringe content post blue origin space flight. Can I play some of it for you? Please. I would love nothing more. I mean, most of the cringe content is coming from Katy Perry, I'll say. Um, so I'm just going to keep going in that vein. Great.

178.83 - 202.496 Lauren

Here we go. so everyone the video that i'm watching is her holding i think a daisy up to the sky as soon as she you know deboards um i don't know if that's a word and then she walks down the stairs and she then kisses the ground which is fine i think that's that's cute um but but let's listen to to her wise words you know after her 11 minute space journey

206.761 - 229.766 Katy Perry

Katie! Woo! I feel super connected to love. So connected to love. I think this experience has shown me you never know how much love is inside of you, like how much love you have to give and how loved you are until the day you launch.

Chapter 2: How did Lauren and Chandler react to the spaceflight and its marketing?

1184.094 - 1208.665 Lauren

And the only way I'm going to be able to continue to do this podcast in perpetuity is if I can just make it work for my own effort level. So I don't know what that says about me, but... Back to you. Thank you, Chandler. Back to me as I prefer it. So everyone, I am using the Dyson instead of my curling iron because my hairstylist told me that the curling iron is frying off my hair.

0

1210.738 - 1231.412 Lauren

I think you should use her exact words. I don't remember. What were the exact words? Oh, she said I was on a bad path. You're on a bad path. Yeah. She said I was on a bad path with my hair and that I needed to get on a good path. And the good path included chopping off the broken off, fried off parts at the end, which left me without the length I so desired.

0

1232.333 - 1256.997 Lauren

But she said I needed to get on a good path. And that meant throwing up my con air and becoming a Dyson fan. girly. Anyway, long story short, I try, I'm trying to do it and I feel like I've had okay results so far. It's nowhere near as good as the curl I get for my $17 Conair. So it's really like a death to me, but I'm trying to do it. Um, and I just, I want everyone to know I'm on this journey.

0

1257.037 - 1285.818 Lauren

And Watch our Instagram stories. I'm going to be bringing you with me every step of the way. It's going to be supersonic. It's going to be supernatural. What did Katie use? You're going to feel more connected to love than ever before after Lauren's Dyson journey. I do feel more connected to love when I feel pretty. And that is a fact. Um, well, is that all you have to say on the matter?

0

1285.858 - 1308.847 Lauren

I thought, so this was just one big plug to watch our stories. Okay. Well, I'm very wary of like talking too much about personal chit chat because we've been told not to do that. All I will say though, is basically I did it again. I did it yesterday. I think I had better results yesterday and it didn't fall out as much. I did it today. And it's falling out already a lot.

1309.008 - 1329.534 Lauren

And I think it's because I didn't dampen it first. So that's my first hot tip for everyone. The second one is I got a very impassioned voice memo from a friend. I mean, should I play this? Play it. This is from everyone from the response. You need to follow. Yeah. There's a lot of people interested in this journey, everyone. And there's going to be timestamps in the episode. So if you don't

1330.174 - 1355.516 Lauren

Give two shits about my hair volume. First of all, I don't want to be your friend. Second of all, you can just go to the next time to stamp. The Dyson came out like eight years ago. And like now, just now on this podcast, we are diving into how to use it correctly. Well, you're so on it. That is generally how quickly I follow beauty trends, which is not really good for me. Anyway, okay.

1362.665 - 1363.105 Lauren

What?

1363.906 - 1386.458 Lauren

This is like one of our good friends and you just mispronounced her name. I think you're having a psychotic break. Maren Ritting, M-A-I-R. How do you spell? Can you spell? I want everyone to follow her. M-A-I-R-I-N. R-Y-T-T-I-N-G. Anyway, if you go, I'm going to tag her on stories, you guys, but you got to follow her. She has great travel content, great clothing content.
