DV Sideshow Bonus: Katy Perry Launches Into the Void (and So Does My Patience)

In today’s bonus segment exclusively for Sideshow freaks, Tim is back to dissect the celestial clown show that was Blue Origin’s latest phallic voyage to the stars — featuring an all-female crew including Gayle King and the human word salad herself, Katy Perry.

🚀 Katy Perry gets launched into orbit and returns filled with feelings, love, and possibly string theory knowledge (lol, no). Tim breaks down her buzzword-laden post-flight reflections, including her profound declaration that “you never know how much love is inside you until you launch.” Sounds more like a tagline for a sex toy than a spaceflight, but OK.

🧠 William Shatner also had a trip to space, but unlike Katy, he didn’t come back babbling about astrology and stardust. Instead, he dropped poetic reflections on the fragility of Earth and humanity’s impending doom. In other words: depth vs. Katy Perry’s air hymen.

🌍 Tim introduces us to The Overview Effect — a real psychological shift astronauts experience when viewing Earth from space — and wonders how much of it can be felt during a 4-minute suborbital Uber ride.

🔔 Meanwhile, Gayle King has her own PR mess after quoting a gay comedian’s use of the word “faggotry” on national television. Tim dives into the faux outrage, the context, the quote, and the great Twitter meltdown that followed.

💩 We also explore important space-related hypotheticals, like: has anyone ever had diarrhea in zero gravity, and does it just float around like a brown balloon animal?

📚 Katy Perry’s pre-launch prep allegedly included brushing up on STEM and string theory. Post-launch, her takeaways include unity, belonging, and love — which she insists she’s now “super connected to.”

This is a wild one, folks. Come for the commentary on space travel, stay for the breakdown of public space diarrhea, Gayle King controversies, and Tim’s slow descent into madness over people saying “journey” too much.
