Beasley Digital

Dave & Chuck the Freak talk about a man who lost out on winning a free SpaceX flight to space after finding out because he was too heavy.

Transcript

00:00Okay, Chuck, imagine this.

00:05You win a ticket to take a SpaceX flight.

00:10Okay, perfect.

00:11You don't have to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars.

00:14Somehow I've won.

00:15You win a ticket.

00:17It's me, William Shatner.

00:20Something you've dreamed of your whole life.

00:23Go to space.

00:24And then you realize you're too chubby.

00:27Wait a second.

00:28For the rocket.

00:29All right.

00:31What?

00:32You can be too chubby for the rocket.

00:34You can be too chubby for the rocket.

00:36Come on, Dave.

00:37Kyle Hipchin was the real winner of the SpaceX sweepstakes.

00:43No.

00:44And he's just revealing he gave his seat to a buddy when he was too chubby.

00:50Wait a second.

00:51When did he win?

00:52How long do you have?

00:54How long did he have?

00:56I'll walk you through it here.

00:58He only told a couple of people, and he's thankful he did.

01:02Oh, God.

01:02But he would have been on board when SpaceX launched its first tourists into orbit last

01:07year.

01:07He would have been one of the people on board.

01:09He said, it really hurts still.

01:13I'm insanely disappointed.

01:14He's a 43-year-old guy.

01:16He's actually a captain for Delta's regional airline, Endeavor Air.

01:21So he's like an aviation nerd.

01:23He's not too big to fly a little plane.

01:25I mean, I'm not too small either, Dave.

01:29They did not know at the time, but SpaceX has a weight restriction of 250 pounds.

01:37It makes sense.

01:38I mean, they probably can't mess around with that kind of stuff.

01:40You're going to space.

01:42You're going to space.

01:43They need everything has to be, the weight has to be perfect.

01:46You never see fat astronauts.

01:47You don't.

01:48No.

01:49Fat-ass astronauts.

01:49Fat-ronauts.

01:51Wait a second.

01:52That's what I'll be.

01:53The first fast-ronaut?

01:55Oh.

01:56Chuck the Freak fast-ronaut.

01:58You can dream it.

01:59Fast-ronaut.

01:59You can do it.

02:00Oh, thanks, guys.

02:01Thanks for believing in me.

02:02Now, the problem is he couldn't just lose a couple of pounds either.

02:06So their weight restriction is 250 pounds.

02:08He's 330 pounds.

02:10Okay.

02:10So he's bigger than you think.

02:12He's a pilot?

02:13He's a pilot, Lees.

02:15I know.

02:15I was kind of shocked at that, too.

02:16He's 300 pounds?

02:17There's the dude.

02:18Oh, yeah.

02:18There he is.

02:19He's got no chance.

02:21I can count to me.

02:23Yeah.

02:25Ten.

02:27Nine.

02:29Eight.

02:30I love a chubby countdown.

02:32Yeah, man.

02:34That's just him watching the microwave.

02:38Popcorn is almost done.

02:43My popcorn is almost done.

02:46Yeah, man.

02:47Got some more, buddy.

02:53I'm going to put it in.

02:56Four.

02:57Three.

02:59You.

03:01Popcorn!

03:03He started receiving vague emails from SpaceX seeking details about himself.

03:07That's when he thought, oh, my God.

03:09I think I've won this.

03:10Dude, wouldn't you be furious if you won this thing?

03:14And then they were like, oh, I'm sorry.

03:15The cutoff is six foot four.

03:16You're out.

03:17You're you're done.

03:18You can't.

03:19They should tell you before you even enter.

03:21Yeah.

03:22Yeah.

03:22It's I don't know if you're like, I feel like a little bit.

03:25It's kind of common sense because I don't know if your heart can take that kind of G force.

03:31I don't think you got the slightest thing wrong with you.

03:33I don't think the G force is quite as bad.

03:36Like, I think safety issue involving the seats.

03:39That's what they're saying.

03:40Yeah.

03:40Like, I think the G force is actually much worse, like in, say, like a fighter plane.

03:44Really?

03:45Then I think they might feel three Gs or something.

03:48So he thought he could try and lose the weight and then realized there's no way he could drop 80 pounds in six months.

03:53I don't know.

03:54I don't know.

03:55I don't know.

03:57And then SpaceX said, well, we got to start measuring you for your custom fitted flight suit and capsule seat.

04:02And he knew, well, the jig is up.

04:09He's going to just try to keep going with the process until he.

04:12He honestly thought he could try and lose some weight, but there's no way he could lose 80 pounds in six months.

04:16No.

04:22Wow.

04:23Someone said this means that if we ever have to leave planet Earth, the fat people will be left behind.

04:28Don't you already know that?

04:29Welcome to Planet Fats.

04:32We're all that was left.

04:35They left us behind.

04:36They didn't think we could do it, but we fixed the planet.

04:39I'll take you right to Fattingham Palace.

04:41You'd be surprised, but the fact that we didn't do anything at all, it healed the planet.

04:47Ozone's back.

04:49It's back.

04:50It's back.

04:50Someone said, imagine being too heavy for the most powerful rocket ever.

04:55That's what I mean.

04:55That's crazy.

04:56That's the most powerful.

04:57Like, put him on the Falcon Heavy.

04:59Come on.

05:00It's that highway to the ham bone.

05:04I just want to do all the fat space things.

05:06Yeah.

05:07Turn it on.

05:08Turn it on.

05:10Turn it on.

05:11Turn it on.

05:14Fat trick.

05:14I do.

05:16I mean, as much fun as we can have, I do feel sad for the guy.

05:19Oh, it's terrible.

05:19It's terrible.

05:20I would be devastated.

05:21I mean, it's nice that he gave it to his buddy, but still, you wish you were the guy

05:25that got to go up there on the first ever flight.

05:27I'm going to be honest with you.

05:28Okay.

05:29So, I know it's a lot of weight.

05:31It's a lot of weight.

05:33But I'd be exhausting all of my options.

05:36I'd be like, can I get it sucked out of me?

05:39Yeah, like liposuction.

05:40Like, how much lipo can I get sucked out of me to go to space?

05:45I'm not 80 pounds worth, dude.

05:46I don't know, dude.

05:47No, you can't.

05:48That's not saying you can't get 80 pounds sucked out of yourself.

05:52How much do you think they could have sucked out of his gut?

05:54You would give it a chance?

05:55You'd just get...

05:56I'm just saying you're never going to get this chance again.

05:59You're never going to get this chance again.

06:01I'd be like, suck it out of me.

06:03No, I don't know.

06:04Someone had a great idea that Amazon Prime should turn it into a show where he loses 100 pounds,

06:07then they send him up.

06:09That's a good idea.

06:09That's a great idea.

06:10Oh, it's not really...

06:11Too fat for space?

06:12I do think one of the most hilarious and heartwarming things you could see is a fat guy floating

06:17in zero gravity.

06:19Having his fun time, looking out the window.

06:22Doing somersaults, all the things he can't do.

06:24I'd love to watch it.

06:25I would.

06:25Thank you, me, though.

06:27No, can't.

06:28Has there ever been a fat astronaut?

06:31No, no, no.

06:32Is there...

06:33Were there any videos of big, big people in zero-G?

06:36Oh, I hope so.

06:37Because I know what I'm going to do all day today.

06:41Is watch that.

06:44Overweight people in zero...

06:47Fat people in zero gravity.

06:50If I had a band, I would name an album.

06:53It's our new album.

06:58Fat people in zero gravity.

07:00NASA tests effects of space on a fat astronaut.

07:02Here we go.

07:03Oh, that's on the...

07:13This is not real.

07:14This is not real, but I love it.

07:16Oh, my God.

07:26Doesn't it warm your heart?

07:28It does.

07:29We've got to look for more videos like that.

07:33Let's see.

07:40We'll wait.

07:42The second one.

07:44We'll go.

07:44The third one.

07:45We've got to look for more videos like that.

07:46I got to look for more videos and videos.

07:50We'll take one another video closer.

07:50Wow.

07:51Thanks.

07:51Bye.

07:54See?

07:55Bye.

07:56Hey.

07:57Maybe this is program.

07:58Alright.

07:58cker.

07:59Hey.
